    Ok.

    But in the quote you used above he explicitly says he is not including the Holocaust. Perhaps use another quote next time.

    To be clear, and I’ve said it here before, but IMHO it’s not helpful to make nazi/holocaust comparisons, when you can call them fascists or racial supremacists (because plenty of them verifiably are based on what they have provably said and done) and call what they’re doing ethnic cleansing or genocide.

    It’s far harder to deny.

    But I suppose the language you use depends on the goal you have in mind.

      I think they made the comparison to attempt to prevent a genocide. Sadly due to gatekeeping of the terms Nazis and Holocaust, they instead got called anti semitic and maybe lost their jobs.
