Nazi Germany didn't start with camps.
It started with loyalty tests, enemies within, attacks on the press, and people saying "this won't last."

It was built while people waited for it to get "bad enough" to matter. Waiting was a decision.

If this feels uncomfortably familiar right now, that's not an accident.

@fribbledom The camps, however, happened very quickly once Hitler had absolute power. Dachau opened within six weeks of the start of the Reich, and operated continuously until the end of the war. People don't often realize how quickly it gets really bad once it gets bad.
