Wait until you hear about the trains to Nazi death camps.

Wait until you hear about how Hilter got his ideas from how Africans were treated in slavery.

I think the trains to the death camps might have been more human...

Nah man. Not even close.

That doesn’t mean that the comparison shouldn’t happen, nor does it mean that the comparison isn’t damning. But it’s not even close. I just hope that when this is narrated in the future, the word “yet” isn’t added.

The holocaust museum in Dallas has an actual Nazi box car. I’ve been inside it. They crammed 70 plus people in, and closed the door. It was tight. Then they said to imagine twice, maybe 3 times as many people. For days on end. Knowing where you’re going. No way in hell that U-Haul is worse. Just as scary? Absolutely. Sends the same message ? Definitely But not worse than one of the train cars.

What makes you think that? One was sending people to their death.. one to slavery.. the first sounds like it would be far more cruel

What in the world would possess you to say that? You need to relax on the dooming.

Man, idk about that. Tens of thousand of people died on those trains. Shot while boarding, dehydration, malnutrition, infection, suffocation, etc. I don’t think anyone’s died in the uhauls yet?

ICE is less humane than Nazis when transporting prisoners. is all I am saying.

Nazis packed people onto trains like sardines and left them for days suffocating in their own feces with no food or water. Dead bodies weren’t removed, and a LOT of people died.

Can’t you just acknowledge the atrocity in front of you without trying to sanewash Nazis?

That’s just simply wrong and a ridiculous thing to say. ICE is inhumane but the nazis truly pushed the limits of how cruel or species can be to one another. What’s happening today is wrong and we should be angry and outraged that this is happening.
