Upvoted Holocaust inversion in /r/LateStageCapitalism: "I don’t understand how a people that survived the Holocaust could have become Nazi-like in less than 100 years" and "The lessons of history have been forgotten by far too many people."

The line most often quoted from Frank’s diary are her famous words, “I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.” These words are “inspiring,” by which we mean that they flatter us. They make us feel forgiven for those lapses of our civilization that allow for piles of murdered girls—and if those words came from a murdered girl, well, then, we must be absolved, because they must be true. That gift of grace and absolution from a murdered Jew (exactly the gift that lies at the heart of Christianity) is what millions of people are so eager to find in Frank’s hiding place, in her writings, in her “legacy.” It is far more gratifying to believe that an innocent dead girl has offered us grace than to recognize the obvious: Frank wrote about people being “truly good at heart” before meeting people who weren’t. Three weeks after writing those words, she met people who weren’t.

Like the "unborn", dead Jews are more useful than living Jews. Living Jews talk-back. Living Jews defend ourselves. Living Jews force society to acknowledge the antisemitism engrained in civilization.

We are all we have.

People fucking hate us.

We are fractured but there is nobody else out there who will help us when things get bad…as demonstrated.

Hating Jews is fashionable, always has been, always will be. Many people hate Jews, the rest don't care, they'll be swayed either way and simply go along with the prevailing trend. A few Jews even hate themselves or their parents so much that they will aid the cause for their own persecution, desperately seeking a loving pat on the head from those who wish to annihilate them. The end goal is always the same. They want Jews to die quietly and without kicking up a fuss. It's very inconvenient for them when the pesky Jews struggle to stay alive. They much prefer a pile of dead Jews to mourn over, more slogans, more Never Agains, more anti-racism, more virtue signaling, more meaningless bullshit which they don't subscribe to in the slightest when the chips are down. There's nothing they despise more than a clear-eyed, two-fisted Jew who refuses to go quietly.

You would think, but that would require them to think
