It’s not. It’s a completely historical comparison. Delusional is pretending like the very clear repeat of history isn’t happening because the idea of modern Nazis makes you uncomfortable.
"Adolf Hitler was named chancellor on January 30, 1933, and enacted policies to rid Germany of Lebensunwertes Leben, or “lives unworthy of living.” What began as a sterilization program ultimately led to the extermination of millions of Jews, Roma, Soviet and Polish citizens—and homosexuals and transgender people.
When the Nazis came for the [Institute for Sexual Research] on May 6, 1933, Hirschfeld was out of the country. Giese fled with what little he could. Troops swarmed the building, carrying off a bronze bust of Hirschfeld and all his precious books, which they piled in the street. Soon a towerlike bonfire engulfed more than 20,000 books, some of them rare copies that had helped provide a historiography for nonconforming people.
The carnage flickered over German newsreels. It was among the first and largest of the Nazi book burnings. Nazi youth, students and soldiers participated in the destruction, while voiceovers of the footage declared that the German state had committed “the intellectual garbage of the past” to the flames. The collection was irreplaceable."
They literally said that letting trans people transition and get gender reassignment surgery will “destroy our nation”. Its literally fascist rhetoric. They’re banning changing your gender on documents, something only 3000 people have done since 2016. The country has 143 million people.
This is genocidal rhetoric. This is a transparent attempt to promote conspiracies against trans people intending for average people to think “trans people are going to destroy my society” and “trans people are a threat to families and children”. It’s literal fascist genocidal rhetoric.
I googled it after reading your comment cause I realized I didn’t actually know what it meant.
There were a few definitions but I’m guessing this is the one the person you’re replying to meant:
“deliberately attempt to conceal unpleasant or incriminating facts about (someone or something).”
Idk why they thought someone calling out Nazis for spending resources on the Holocaust up until the very end meant that people are whitewashing Nazis though.
More like equating the holocaust to bad medical care is trying to make the holocaust look better. Im exergeratting of course, but im hate when people call everything nazi.
This reminds me how during the later stages of WW2, while the Nazis were losing the war, they kept spending resources on the Holocaust.

Why are the so many people on this site white washing Nazis? It seems so concetrated here.
I’m very curious about what it is that you think the word “whitewash” means.

Sorry, what? Are you saying that this comment about the holocaust makes the Nazis look… better?

I didn’t “equate” anything. I said that one thing reminds me of another.
