    This reminds me how during the later stages of WW2, while the Nazis were losing the war, they kept spending resources on the Holocaust.

        It’s not a godwin if they are literally nazis performing a literal genocide whilst literally losing a war of agression in Europe.

          Yeah I think we’re gonna have to pause the godwin thing for a while. Too many people in power running plays right out of the Nazi playbook nowadays. A stigma against comparisons to Nazis isn’t preventing discussions from degenerating to name calling (the original intent of the rule) it’s just preventing conversation from happening.

      Why are the so many people on this site white washing Nazis? It seems so concetrated here.

        I’m very curious about what it is that you think the word “whitewash” means.

          Making something seem not-as-bad. Nazis literally genocided 11 million people. Russia is being awful about medical care. Theres an ocean of difference.

        Sorry, what? Are you saying that this comment about the holocaust makes the Nazis look… better?

          More like equating the holocaust to bad medical care is trying to make the holocaust look better. Im exergeratting of course, but im hate when people call everything nazi.

            I didn’t “equate” anything. I said that one thing reminds me of another.
