A movement with a distorted sense of individual rights that would seek to hamper vaccination in the midst of a global health crisis is reactionary to the core and hostile to human life itself. The dangerous rise of the anti-vax far-right is a symptom of a sickness in this society that we will still be confronting well after the last wave of the pandemic has finally receded.
too funny, I know what NAZI stands for, but I never thought about the “socialists” part of it based on what I was taught of Hitler! But what you say makes alot of sense for back then and perhaps for people’s apparent misunderstanding today.
Hell, remember the ‘first they came for’ sequence?
It literally STARTS with “First They Came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out–because I was not a socialist.”
The NSDAP was also anti-union. The very SECOND line was, “Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out–because I was not a trade unionist.”
Anti-Socialism and Anti-Union are CORE NAZI PRINCIPLES.
Now I can’t help but give everyone who is against socialism and against unions the hard side-eye.
