And this is exactly what I had been fearing - that it really went like this.
The anger and consternation at the unspeakable Nazi horror was understandable. Very much so. That is not just Jmacusa‘s, and many other’s‘ opinion, but mine as well.
But it was dreadfully unscrupulous by the Western power elites to say to their own nations, explicitly or implicitly, that similar crimes could be carried out by them, saying stuff like: „If you are against multiculturalism/ gay rights/ mass immigration/ crime/ pedophilia/ indiscriminately distributing welfare payments, you are no better than the Nazis“.
Truly Heartbreaking, on so many levels 😭
Politics is about power.
It’s just the way it is.
The people in power saw that they were slipping and they went to just about the oldest tactic there is: High-Low against the Middle.
Aristotle observed the phenomenon.
