Because any student of history knows that the Holocaust was all about trying to protect the Jewish people from a deadly illness.
Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with these people?

do it again. The kindest thing we can do to them is lock them all up.

Hitler would embrace them to gain power, but once in, he'd purge those morons and the tatted-up Neo-Nazis.

Critics said Jessica Alexanders comments, including Im getting pushed to the back of the bus, were insensitive and historically ignorant. Her remarks came during the councils April 13 meeting during a discussion about whether the council should hold virtual meetings until June, when California aims to end most COVID-19 restrictions.
Toward the end of the discussion, Alexander mentioned Parks, a Black woman who in 1955 refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama, bus to accommodate a White man. Parks arrest led to the Montgomery Bus Boycott and eventually, a court ruling that banned racial segregation on buses.
Look at Rosa Parks She finally took a stand and moved to the front, because she knew that that wasnt lawful. It wasnt true, Alexander said, according to a videotape of the meeting. So she took a stand. At what point in time do we? Im getting pushed to the back of the bus. This is what Im telling you I feel like.
Alexander added that she cannot and will not wear a mask.

(66,316 posts)Any real oppressed minority will tell you it's nothing to aspire to, nothing to want to be, nothing that will make your life more glamorous, or even more notable.
It's all about getting attention, and nothing else.
"Look at ME! I'm an oppressed minority because people want me to wear a mask in public, and get immunized against a deadly disease!"
Any real oppressed minority will tell you it's better not to be noticed at all than to be noticed for the wrong reasons.

(1,969 posts)It is a position of power in society. Especially if your white. See the sheer number of white people pretending to be black in academia as an example.

(115,674 posts)gets a really bad case of covid? Not quite bad enough to kill them, but bad enough to make them afraid it would, and bad enough that it hangs on for months and maybe even makes them regret having been stupid, anti-Semitic public health hazards? I would not feel a bit guilty for wishing this if it did happen. The only thing I'd feel bad about is that they'd have been contagious and made a lot of work for health care providers.

Anti-vaxxers cannot compare. They are choosing to reject science and the facts that could very well save their lives and that of their children and communities.

6 million people who were forced to wear that star were sent to gas chambers. Another 5 million deemed undesirable were killed as well. To mock them is, well, its evil.

(35,325 posts)argument with security at the hospital. They told him he had to wear one of their masks because the one he had was not approved. He didn't want to wear their mask because his was made in US and theirs came from China.
He couldn't understand the point was his mask was not efficient enough he had to make a big deal about where it was made. But all his Trump crap is made in China no
problem.
And he is anti vac because of the Bill Gates tracking chip.

(53,951 posts)They are selfish assholes with no understanding of history and using a historical event and inverting its meaning in order to make themselves appear as victims. Frankly, I wonder if this also isn't anti-Semitic in some respects given the number of people, especially among the Q-Anon idiots, who think the Jews are behind COVID; and, therefore, the wearing of the yellow Star of David is a double entendre of sorts. That is to say, the victims of the Holocaust (globalists) are now the ones forcing masks on poor, victimized peoples.
It is sickening, but so expected. Cultural appropriation of the Jews is very popular.
