yes, Remember Nazi rhetoric didn’t hate the Polish, the Jewish, the Communist etc… without having an easily agreed upon base of reasons as to why you should hate them. why do you think people have called Republican rhetoric genocidal? because they are further along to the “justifying the camps” than many people realize, they know the Nazis did bad things, but very few people know what led up to and allowed the Nazis to do those bad things.

im sorry asocial? What the fuck does this mean in the context of the nazis? Were people who didn’t actively socialize considered a threat somehow?
Asocial was a very broad term - anyone they thought was not sufficiently contributing to society, essentially.
