This has been something that has been bugging me for a few days.
Politicians on the Left are lining up to call federal LEOs in Portland and other cities, stormtroopers, a direct reference to the Nazi Sturmabteilung.
The hashtag #gestapo has been trending on Twitter in regards to the LEO actions.
The implication here is that those who are being arrested are victims of Nazi oppression.
I know my history and the Jews in Nazi Germany did not start fires, attack Nazi government building, destroy monuments, tear down statues, or cause 50 nights of riots and vandalism in German cities.
Neither did the Jehova’s Witnesses and Catholic dissidents who were also targeted.
For these people in Portland and elsewhere to use rhetoric suggesting that they are the victims of Naziesque oppression is shitting on the memory of those who actually died under Nazi oppression as innocent victims.
I’m disgusted that Jewish leaders have not called this out, but that what happens when you go hard Left. Casual Antisemitism is so intrinsic to Leftism that even Leftist Jews accept it as normal.
On the other hand it looks like Kristallnacht on those streets.
No one learns history in schools any more so the lying politicans can use it to curse the police
Actually, the terminology is deliberate.
In the limited mental capacity average leftist, shocking is the same as clever. They will knowingly select the word, or image, that is most likely to shock. In their feeble minds, that is the equivalent of scoring points during a moderated debate.
