The Nazi program of concentration camps and terror started almost immediately, and included an enormous amount of overt, obvious, very violent state repression against anyone at all who criticized the regime. This included sending them to the first camps, formed in 1933, right after Hitler's appointment, and openly torturing and beating people, or executing them extrajudicially. None of anything from Trump's government is at all comparable so far and making such comparisons, aside from being a genuinely idiotic case of ideological exaggeration, is also an insult to real victims of real historical concentration camps and violent regimes. For all the self-congratulatory patting on the back by many readers on HN about their "superior" intellectual reasoning, I see a remarkable abundance of largely failing at such reasoning when it comes to many comment threads and subjects on this site.
