ice is absolutely fucking evil but like … if y’all could fucking stop comparing them to the gestapo and auschwitz that’d be great. not because they aren’t like them, but because y’all need to sit back and think about how it might feel to jewish people, most of who suffer intergenerational trauma, seeing their feeds and dashes filled with the fucking yellow star, photos of ghettos, photos of concentration camps, the words “gestapo” and “holocaust” and “auschwitz” everywhere we turn just for shock value bc apparently goyim have difficulty caring about anything unless it’s compared to our genocide (ironic since a lot of y’all then go on to say we deserved it or are milking it for sympathy points but that’s neither here nor there)

like, you can figure out another way to say something is horrible without equating it to the holocaust. i guarantee you it’s possible and on behalf of the rest of my people i am asking y’all to please fucking do so lol

I understand why people want to liken things happening in American to the most well-known fascist disaster of the 20th Century, but JFC y’all it’s fucking triggering to Jewish and Romani people. 

to be completely honest it’s also incredibly telling + disheartening that americans have no concept of this having happened to latinos/latine immigrants (and non-latino immigrants) before, and thus can’t compare it to the ongoing history of abuses against immigrants in the US. 

people could be talking about the “Gre-ser Act” or Operation W-tback, the bracero program, forced mexican repatriation…. but they don’t. there’s never any implication that they have any idea of the history there of the border, and so they reach for the holocaust as if it’s a catch-all analogy. hell, for gd’s sake, mention american internment camps, because at least that speaks to american policy and the american treatment of non-white people under various administrations.
