No one seriously thinks these are anything like concentration camps, and that's why most people won't protest them.
One of the more dangerous assumptions is that Nazis were overtly and objectively evil from the start. It conveniently looked perpetually different than what we're currently seeing.
I mean, the photos we're being presented - they're not even in black and white!
I agree. This isn't that, though.
Don't get me wrong, Nazism is spreading across the world again, but this isn't that.
I like your username =]. Also I think we mostly agree on these points. Not wanting to argue I would add the critique that seeking comfort is fine. Its fine to be comfortable your entire life. Just there has to be something that motivates us to preserve that comfort we enjoy and spread it to others. Having things and being subdued has a cost and we as Americans pass that cost onto future generations. Somehow we have to make an attempt to bridge that gap.
That is a problem. That's how these things start. You ignore something right in front of your face. The people need to draw a line. While it might not be an extermination camp you dont want to wait until it becomes one. These people in these camps are only guilty of misdemeanors. They are not all violent criminals as trump would have you believe.
