    Give one good reason why the Nazis started with the Jews and not the millions of other groups that are much further separated from their idea of the Übermench.

    I’ll give you one. Because Nazis were Christians, and they hate the Jews for not accepting Jesus as their messiah.

      I didn’t say nazis weren’t christians. I think this conversation simply isn’t lending itself to a nuanced discussion unfortunately, people are getting too incensed over it. Nazis are bad. Republicans are installing Christo-fascism and it’s a huge problem. All of these things I agree with. I am just talking about the relationship of the 3rd reich and christianity, which is not as simple as you want it to be. It’s a fascinating, if dark, subject. You’d do well to go read about it tbh. It taught me a lot about institutions can be wielded like cudgels even against their own interests.
