Liz, was there ever a point when those 6 million murdered Jews were still alive and being dehumanized at populist political rallies and their travel restricted and rounded up and imprisoned and should more people have maybe spoken up then, rather than scolding those who did?
I mean if we’re talking about history lets remember the dead as people first, not as corpses.
The use of “exterminated” incorporates a framing that is really leaping out to me tbh.
Historians, please help: were people sent to German concentration camps in violation of German law?
John favors the camps and is also a big proponent of demanding some sort of solution.
Nothing is more effective at convincing me these are concentration camps than the arguments of those insisting they aren’t concentration camps.
People sure do like parsing the exact conditions required before the act of packing human beings into concentration camps by the thousands can be considered immoral.
Don't they.
Don't they.
We've seen the rallies
We've heard the chants and slogans
We've seen the policies and camps
It's somehow even worse than the worst leftist assumptions about the right
American Republicans: the world can never un-know what you've willingly revealed about yourselves.

To live in the US the last 3 years has been to be creeped out by what I know about the foundational moral structure of hundreds and thousands and millions of regular everyday people around me ... and to realize that many have experienced that creepy feeling their whole lives.
Strangers and friends and family and acquaintances, just revealing themselves in an endless parade of indifference and casual menace.
It's not great.
Our reaction to all that—which includes pointing out that we now have concentration camps—isnt something we are doing *to* them.

Talking about the abuse is not the abuse, nor does it cause abuse
Identifying the abuser is not vilification
Identifying his victim is not what victimized her
Demanding we speak truth doesn't create the division
Insisting on consequences & boundaries doesn't preclude empathy

What an abuser wants is reconciliation without restoration—to be forgiven without loss of the privilege that allows the abuse
Forgiving an abuser is the right of the abused, not the observer
Healing is for the abused, not the abuser—and it requires cessation of abuse
