Ok Hubert, if national  socialism in Germany is an analogy too strong for you, what about socialism in Czechoslovakia?  I’m the survivor, some of my family members didn’t, and perished in labour cams. What is happening in Australia is absolutely outrageous and Canada is following the suit, in baby steps , but following nevertheless. Some of the patterns feel scary familiar.

As I said, I do not mind anyone using analogies with other totalitarian regimes (and I know this strikes a chord with you particularly, Martin) to decry what is happening in their own countries.

My point is that the Shoah is just consubstantial with the Nazi regime. Because of this, it was not just another totalitarian regime. Which is why I reacted to this specific comparison. To be blunt, that some people (and I am referring to what I saw in France) could dare to write that being denied the access to a restaurant or shopping mall because they refused a vaccination jab was like wearing a yellow star is simply outrageous: I think you will all agree that such restrictions do not put them on equal footing with the victims of the Shoah.

 I advocated for restraint in comparisons, not silencing your criticisms. Word have a meaning, in the end.

Every totalitarian regime is the same and Holocaust wasn’t only about the elimination of the Jewish community, it was about eliminating anybody and everyone, who was opposing arbitrary rule or simply differ from the given agenda. 
People  have tendency to overreact, but then look at this.

what is happening in many countries is full on criminal.
