This is a weird question

It's so easy for them to do it too. They have no morals, don't really believe any good teachings of Christianity.

Secret killings were much easier in the 30s/40s. Today, due to technology, nearly everything is exposed. Any even slightly controversial attempt would be all over the New York Post. It will never happen.

It wasn't "people."

It was a very delusional Adolph Hitler and his tribe.

OP, just because some dumb idea enters your mind, you shouldn't feel it's necessary to share it with all of us.

I think we need a final solution to the OP problem.

Actually they gassed them.

Kids in cages...

Sometimes, one really MUST be bold to solve a problem.

OP, I know. Sometimes it feels like tge evil forces are gathering and we are all too occupied to notice.

Not only did hitler kill millions he nearly got the world....the crazy thing is he thought he was doing good. I think trump knows he’s bad but doesn’t show it much but does occasionally.

You have to look at the bright side. The Holocaust got me both and Emmy and an Oscar.

You mean like telling people to LIBERATE MICHIGAN! Refuse to wear a mask and hoard and price gouge PPE and test kits? Something like that?

[quote]But the Holocaust happened. For some reason people in the late 1930s and 1940s thought the best way to deal with a problem was to burn people to death.

You mean like the estimated nearly half a million deaths during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq?

Like the 26,171 bombs Obama dropped in 2016?

[quote] Actually they gassed them.

People were murdered in all kinds of ways in the holocaust — you’re right to point out that the common conception that the ovens were used to burn people alive is wrong and they were murdered via gas first.

That said, some people were in fact burned alive. In Jasenovac, the ghastly Croatian death camp, which was not run with Teutonic efficiency, at times they tried simply sticking living people into the incinerators.

By the way, most of the 100,000+ people murdered in Jasenovac by the Croats were Serbs and gypsies, not jews. Sometimes it’s forgotten altogether that there were millions of nonjews murdered in the holocaust.

Along with the shrinking middle-class, I think there has been a growing disdain for populations such as the homeless and poor. There has been a systematic erasure of human worth we've grown immune to. Covid-19 has taught me the lengths of expendability people are willing to attribute to people's lives.

While, if I'm being serious, I don't think Trump could get away with shooting an unarmed person on Fifth Ave, I don't believe we are as far off from that as we think we are.

This is the definition that comes up when googling:

hol·o·caust /ˈhäləˌkôst,ˈhōləˌkôst/ noun

1. destruction or slaughter on a mass scale, especially caused by fire or nuclear war. "a nuclear holocaust" synonyms: cataclysm, disaster, catastrophe, destruction, devastation, demolition, annihilation, ravaging, inferno, fire, conflagration, massacre, slaughter, mass murder, carnage, butchery, extermination, liquidation, genocide, ethnic cleansing 2. a Jewish sacrificial offering that is burned completely on an altar.

^^^ The second explanation sounds like something from the days of Moses.

He killed a lot of people on 5th Avenue as it turns out.

It took years for the Nazis to create a society where they could get away with mass murder, and a major cover for it was WWII. They also took advantage of hatred of "undesirables" in the countries they invaded. Many Eastern European Jews never even made it to the ghettos or camps; they were slaughtered not far from their homes, often by locals, not Nazis.

Trump, at least so far, hasn't declared any wars or used war powers to curtail private citizens' ability to keep track of what he's doing and report on it. And, while people on both sides of the political spectrum are getting fed up with the government's inept handling of the homelessness crisis, we are very, very far off from private citizens' cheering on or collaborating in the extermination of homeless people.

In short: get a grip.

OP - I just hope nobody from Fox News or Trump's administration reads this thread, (like Stephen Miller or Homogan Gilley) Then they'll just pass your idea on to Trump, himself.
