The real kicker is that bit about “contemporary comparisons” which makes me ask why even bother having historical educations if you can’t apply the lessons of the past but that’s just me

Also it’s a tacit admission that certain current events are indeed comparable, especially since they don’t need to be named for you to know exactly what they mean

“my don’t compare historical events shirt is causing people to compare the historical events”

We don't even need to make comparisons, is the thing. We can just look at their methods and laws, and plainly see that they are creating concentration camps, and using military actions that overwhelmingly target civilians.

The contemporary mass graves speak for themselves. Historical comparison at this point can only invite people to see where the differences are, holding them to account for what their actions are right now should be enough.
