Combine this with the recent executive order to institutionize people with mental issues. Do not forget that the first people to be locked up in concentration camps in nazi Germany included communists, socialists, mentaly ill, homeless, and criminals.

First they came for the transgender juvenile athletes And I did not speak out Because I was not a transgender juvenile athlete (and there are probably only 100 in the whole country) - Then they came for the unofficial migrants (the paperwork is a civil federal matter) And I did not speak out Because I was not an unofficial migrant - Then they came for the unhoused Americans And I did not speak out Because I was not a currently unhoused American, a person camping on BLM land, or a person camping in their back yard for more than 7 days per year where it is now illegal - Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me

  * Transgender women juvenile athletes not being able to play with cisgender women (this issue doesn't even have a consensus one way or the other; the opinion roughly a 50/50 split afaik) * Immigrants breaking established laws (that you may or may not agree with, again a 50/50 split) * I have no idea what you're talking about the last one, feel free to link some articles for me to read Are you really comparing the above to the treatment of minorities during the Halocaust, e.g. round up and murdered en masse? Does what's happening today even look remotely close to some of the evil things the US has done in the past, e.g. Japenese internment, displacement of Native Americans, slavery, etc. I don't agree with what's going on, and I do see potential for it to become worse, but comparing it to actual crimes against humanity seems like a stretch

      > Federal agents take an hour and a half, almost two, trying to figure out who I am Absolutely terrible that this happened, but how in the world are you comparing this to rounding up people based on race/other traits and systemically killing them? > “The individual with the same first, middle and last name bears a striking resemblance to the individual temporarily taken into custody by mistake.” > Insisting that he looked like a violent criminal on their wanted list > Shave your beard off so we won't mistake you again stupid comment from the agent, but it sounds like they were explaining how they mixed the victim up with a criminal

        The quote implies not genocide but the mere act of silencing, if you read his past you know he strongly supported nazism, but challenged it only when it affected him which by that point it was too late they had absolute power. Since the point is the escalation to have no hurdles.

  And don't forget that the Allies, who were just as homophobic as the Nazis and not much less antisemitic, didn't liberate homosexuals from prisons or concentration camps. They weren't recognized as victims of unjust oppression but criminals who got what they deserved.

    I'm not sure the point here. Is this a some counter-argument to the thesis that this is a bad thing?
