Who's worse? The average ICE employee/officer or the average "Nazi" soldier/worker?

It didn't begin with mass murder!

The phrase "It didn't begin with mass murder" is often used to emphasize that atrocities like the Holocaust didn't start with immediate large-scale killings.

Instead, the Holocaust, for instance, began with a progression of events, policies, and attitudes that created the environment for mass murder to occur. This included:

Hateful words and propaganda: The Nazis' ideology and antisemitic rhetoric dehumanized and marginalized Jews, paving the way for violence.

Persecution and discrimination: Laws and policies aimed at discriminating against Jewish people and excluding them from society were implemented in Nazi Germany before the systematic killings began.

Targeting of vulnerable groups: The Nazis first targeted individuals with disabilities under the guise of "Life Unworthy of Life", implementing forced sterilizations and then moving to mass murder.

Ghettoization and forced relocation: During World War II, the Nazis concentrated Jewish populations into ghettos and attempted forced deportations to isolate and segregate them.
