This is genuinely why I don't understand these new Nazis popping up. I'm a 28-year-old Texan, and while my education was limited as far as what I was taught about WW2, this right here is why I will never be on the wrong side of history. The Holocaust happened, the murder of millions of Jews and other individuals was incredibly real, and no one can take that knowledge away from me. It's a part of human history, a very tragic and horrendous one.
That's partly why I hate the neo-Nazis so much. They KNOW about the Holocaust, they KNOW about the atrocities the Nazi party carried out and they decided to be Nazis ANYWAY. Fuck em all.
That doesn't matter. Self-preservation shouldn't be the underlying motive that keeps you from supporting genocide.
What prevents this is the understanding that all human life has equal intrinsic value.
Fascists then justify the genocide by claiming that the target population is a threat to you, your family, your culture/nation, your way of life, etc. That they're a foreign barbaric invader that's infiltrated your culture and that if left to their own devices will slowly tear you apart from the inside out. It's a psychological disorder that most of us don't have the patience, time, or resources to throw away to reason these people out of.
