There's this particularly annoying thing that you ratcultists keep doing, which is trying to invent facially neutral ways to describe evil behavior. But the thing is, EVIL BEHAVIOR ISN'T FACIALLY NEUTRAL.

The Nazis were bad because they were violent and xenophobic toward PEOPLE OF OTHER ETHNICITIES and DISABLED PEOPLE and LGBT PEOPLE. They made up stories about how terrible THE JEWS and THE ROMA and DISABLED PEOPLE and TRANS PEOPLE were to justify their behavior.

Generalizing from the particular here doesn't actually illuminate some greater truth; rather, it elides the entire history of WHY those groups, WHY those stories, WHY that particular exercise of power and violence rather than some other.

I'm not sure it matters why the Nazis did what they did? It was evil regardless of their reasons, wasn't it?

Your entire question illustrates an error in your thinking. You can't talk about "what they did" without talking about their reasons, that's the whole point. "What they did" is MURDERED JEWS AND ROMA AND DISABLED PEOPLE AND TRANS PEOPLE.

Please explain to me why "the entire history of WHY those groups" is relevant to how atrocious Nazis were. Because it sounds to me like you're saying if the history had been different their actions would've been justified.

Doing the exact same things to the Nazis that the Nazis did to other people would have been extremely justified

So you agree that if the history had been different, Nazi actions would have been justified?

Yes, obviously The "history" is 100% what makes something justified or unjustified It is what justifies things

Alright, well, I'm of the opinion that NO history would have justified the heinous acts of the Nazis. This is something I feel VERY strongly about. It is FUCKED UP that you think there's a universe where the Nazis are justified.

If the Nazis didn't have their history they wouldn't be the Nazis, like that's literally the only way to define them as Nazis If I didn't have my memories and life history... I would not exist, there'd be a different person who looks like me
