    I’m not sure I follow your logic here. What equality was gained by the victims of the Holocaust?

      The idea is that the Nazis tried to create in their perverse fucked up way technical equality by exterminating everyone else that didn’t conform to their vision and everyone else was equally removed from existence. Thus not all methods of getting to equality are valid or good and we should be careful about saying all methods of creating equality or mandating it are good.

        The logic I don’t follow is how killing some people and not killing others is in any way an application of equality. They decided that the people they killed were unequal. Like, the logic of your individual points makes sense, but it’s the overall logic of your argument that I can’t follow.

          By killing everyone else except they considered acceptable it leaves only equality left. One of their goals was to remove everyone else who didn’t fit into their vision leaving only those left.

          It’s similar to the policies that mandate various under represented groups are the only ones able to partake in various activities. Both are shitty methods of creating equal outcomes just… One is far more lethal and terrible obviously. But the same flawed logic trying to force an outcome.
