Hi Aiko,

Sorry, but I believe the over use of self-serving pronouncements by self-appointed "fact-checkers", instead of facts, to rebut inconvenient truth has made it an ineffective cliché.  As well as finding it a bad thing. 

But literally all my grandparents' peers were first generation Americans.  To those who prefer parsing humans by bloodline-defined ethnic labels, they were "Germans", "Polish", "French", and lesser recognized ones like "Slovaks".  So I know Hitler brutally enforced disarming Germans before fully enslaving them. 

Seriously.  Do you believe 6,000,000 armed people would allow their children, their loved ones, and themselves, to be labeled (Note: egg, not sperm, donor made them Jews) with big stars, herd them into holding pens, and transport them via cattle cars (literally) to Nazi slaughterhouses?

As for comparison v. equivalency.  Last year marked half a century since I last enjoyed quibbling over wine and semantics as a sophomore. Difference w/o distinction.
