“Show more,” I defy thee!
Nuremberg followed the total military defeat of the Nazi regime.
It didn’t appear out of political frustration or anger or internet righteousness. It came after unconditional surrender and the collapse of a government through war.
So when people on social media speak openly of “Nuremberg 2.0” for their political opponents, they’re telling you something dangerous.
They believe they’re in a war, not a democracy. And in war, they think they’re entitled to hang the losers.
Remember this for anyone slinging around “Nuremberg”. It’s reckless.
Remember indeed. Above all else, remember too that they are in no way kidding around, exaggerating for effect, or hyperbolizing when they say such things, and that their belief in their own moral and intellectual superiority is absolute, inarguable, and as solid as the Rock of Gibraltar. Also, they believe not just that they’re in a war, but that they will inevitably prevail, after which smashing victory they will grind the enemy under their jackbooted heel forever.
