Was the Holocaust beginnings that different than America at the time?

Obviously we didn’t kill in the millions but Kristallnacht was not that far from the Oklahoma Race Riots that killed hundreds.

Not much different

Completely different

The Oklahoma riots were riots do you have a right to calm down the riot under any means possible. If that means someone dies sorry that sucks but that’s the result of rioting.

the Holocaust was different you had a left wing government (by American standards yes right wing by European standards classical liberals are todays American right wingers the left wing in the United States is more like the right wing in Europe). Who targeted the Jews for no reason at all, much like the political left today in the United States. We have Active members of Congress saying that Hitler was right a. k. a. Rashida Tlaib Ilhan Omar

You need to study history…like any book. Right wing socialism was their thing.

To be honest, Hitler WAS on the verge of getting America to join his side of the war. There was a lot of antisemitic sentiment in the USA at that time.

But it was the camps that deterred the Americans. As they knew what they had done to the Blacks, and Native American Indians. Thus knew the Nazi's would do the same to the Americans, after the Jews.

so far, the only real difference is the Trump sort of fell apart before he could get people worked up to the point of doing the things that were done during the Holocaust. if his followers had their way, we would be far along that path at this point I think. As it is right now Trump will never be president again and that's good, but there are too many people that are imitating him and following his beliefs for my comfort.

No. We saw looting and burning done by BLM. Don't know if thousands were looted, but otherwise probably very similar. You know, the type of riots the leftist rag CNN described as fiery but mostly peaceful. You could make a very compelling argument comparing those acts to the acts nazis did and therefor comparing modern leftists to nazis.

I am White and my family members were in Death Camp during the war. Guess.
