"genociding people is bad" is such a hot take it makes past genocides look better than they actually were

This is the logical equivalent of a dog chasing its own tail.

Why cant two things be horrebly bad without being the same...

They are not the same, one is happening right now as I type this. The other is in the past, unable to be changed. Time is linear like that. The point of the meme is that the place where the Nazis were celebrated THEN is NOW celebrating another genocide in progress.

The subtleties of the same picture meme are lost on you.
