Disabled people were among the first victims of the Nazis. What I did not know was that this program of eugenics through murder was very furtive at first. They knew that "do gooders" and "the church" would object to killing disabled people, often children just to save money.
They were careful not to have too many deaths at any one center at first. But as the stress of war created further chaos they become more open about these murders.
Thinking about it, it doesn't make sense that they would be open about doing such a thing. There were people who objected. Those people were called sentimental and unreasonable. And of course the murders would expand.
The killing centers were disguised as care facilities. Sometimes they billed families for months after their relative was dead.
The centers also collected state pensions and social security for months after killing the people sent there for care. So they were very scammy in a way that I don't think we recognize enough in the Nazis, one state sponsored but privatized operation mooching off of public benefits.
That I have heard more about "welfare moms" than this in my life is something to ponder.
Unfortunately I've heard people say that our Stephen Miller could not have such evil ambitions because he is a part of a regime that is too petty and criminal and the nazis were more "ideological"
I think this is a troubling trend where people believe that the nazis were "at least efficient" which is just ingesting their old propaganda uncritically.
Big LOL here. As we learned from Eichman, Evil can be very boring. It doesn't usually walk and talk grand like villains in Hollywood films. Evil is very middle class: Just gifted enough to keep up the bureaucracy to keep a system doing evil working sufficient effectively. Evil suffers from a certain lack of fantasy. It's enough if the machinery of evil "just works".
And now, anybody, please tell me, Stephen Miller is not up for the role.
Frankly, the outright pettiness was also what characterized the Nazi regime. People need urgently to read up on the third Reich before they get those ideas that the Nazis were somehow people with a grand ideological vision that enabled their evil deeds.
I am German and a hobbyist student of German history. The Trump regime reeks practically like Hitler's. The very texture their actions and their talk have is the same.
