80 years ago today, Auschwitz was liberated

This is not ancient history. My parents were alive on that day.

Auschwitz is what the Nazis did.

Don't trivialize the deaths of 10,000,000 people by calling people Nazis when you don't like them.

Don't trivialize the deaths of 10,000,000 people by wearing Nazi paraphernalia to protest the current government.

Nazis kill people. Millions of people. Systematically. Remember that.

@azemon
Imagine a place where you could see militars killing people indiscriminately.
Oh wait! In Gaza!

@karlggestd Actually no. You're exaggerating. Gaza is horrible, I agree, though.

But please don't change the subject. This is about Nazis.

@azemon people in my neighborhood are getting renditioned off the street in an ethnic cleansing by right wing revanchists. Part of "Never Forget" is recognizing the fact that it can and does happen in the modern world.

I'll stop calling them fascists when they stop worshipping Himmler and giving "roman" salutes.

@VastHypno Please hear me: I agree with you.

I was wrote only about Nazis. I said nothing about fascists. I try not to call people names but I do not think that fascist is an inappropriate label for some of the loud extremists in our country.

@azemon
The people who are taking power in countries all over Europe are minimizing the carnage of that history & using the same rhetoric & playbook

If it waddles like a duck & quacks like a duck & salutes like a f'ing nazi... I'm gonna call it a nazi. I don't have to wait for millions of people to be killed. Ask the #Black folks killed by #police how many is too many

Feel free to mute me if that offends you
