I have noticed 10 key correlations between political movements that demonize an entire race of people?
Liberals/blacks have banded together to demonize, dehumanize, and attack whites, in very much the same way Jews were dehumanized, demonized and attacked in the 1930’s.
You may ask: Why did Hitler say things about Jews that were clearly not true? Because his ultimate goal was not to seek truth, but to kill Jews. His goal was the killing of Jews, plain and simple. Anytime a political movement vilifies a race of people, you will find a few common threads:1) The people inside the movement are very angry and emotional, and they aren’t up for rational, calm debate.2) Their movement is largely predicated on false facts, which they will demonize you for if you call them out on the facts not being true. (Tell a German in the 30’s that you think Jews really aren’t that bad, and they’d send you to a concentration camp. We aren’t there... yet.) Similarly, wear a MAGA hat or say you’re pro life or pro-law enforcement and mobs of leftist ideologues will violently assault you, 10x more so if you’re white. 3) they commit violence against the group that they hate, and when they find out they can get away with that, the violence increases in intensity and vigor.4) they like to tell you that they are actually on the right side of history… Even when they’re not. (They never are. Demonizing a race of people is never the right answer. Hate hasn’t solved any problems.)
5) They will accuse their opponents of doing what they are doing. The Nazis would often claim Jews were luring German kids to kill them (true story). This was a wicked rumor going around. In reality, well, we all know it was actually the Nazis doing the killing of kids.
6) When the vilified race of people stick up for themselves, they are viciously attacked.
7) to make their movement believable, they always have a few grains of truth mixed in with the hate and stereotypes. The Nazis would say Jews were rich, selfish bankers who ruined the economy and that therefore they must die. In reality, it’s true, a lot of Jews or bankers and a lot of Jews or rich and successful. But it’s a giant stretch to say that they deserved to die for that. Killing a race of people for mere social inequality is inhuman. Similarly, BLM/democrats demonize white people today
And this last one is perhaps the most true, the most disheartening, and the most powerful:
9) as the racist movement gains power, more and more citizens begin to join their cause. Not out of genuine agreement... but out of fear of what will happen to themselves if they don’t.
