    In none of your comments have you expressed ANY concern or acknowledgment for the victims depicted in this comic. It’s all been how offended YOU are by the use of such extreme Auschwitz imagery. You’re expressing your opinion, and I’m expressing mine - that you’re too concerned with how you feel about how the comic is making its point rather than the real-world suffering it’s representing. What happened to your family has a very real danger of happening again here, and the author is evoking that as a warning.

      I responded to a very specific comment.

      I acknowledge the need and the status quo.

      Of course i am not expressing concern. I do not express concern for people i do not know, that is not how my brain works.

      I am concerned about where the road may be leading. I am concerned that 50% of Americans voted for this orange mini hitler.

      I am concerned that comparison like this may hide how bad Hitler and the NS regime really was, and therfore how bad it could get.

      I am concerned for all of us not just for a few. Because if this goes the Adolf way, we are all done.

      I am concerned that, IF Donald fails, the next one comes and is successful.

      I am concerned that the American people will not fix their political system that enables this in the first place. Because every mention of this leads to offended comments by Americans because, how dare I, critizing the US two party system, the winner takes it all, and the immense power the president has.

      I AM concerned. I don’t need to express this. Thoughts an prayer is American pseudo solidarity, not something that will help.

      Because the USA have something Hitler didn’t: fucking nukes.
