    My theory: there is basically no-one left who remembers WW2 first-hand, and a lot of people only know that the atrocities were commited by “evil monsters”. And we’re not evil monsters, right? We’re sophisticated modern humans, not evil monsters, right? We are, therefore, incapable of atrocity or even mistake and it cannot happen here, right?

      It’s super frustrating for people like me who are nerds for history and are extremely aware of exactly how fascism progressed last time it got popular.

        There’s a good reason “historian” is about the most left-leaning profession in existence.
