People were anti-semitic long before the Weimar system. Hitler used the anti-semitic feelings to his own political ends and beyond.

Genocide might solve some of the problems experienced by those who carry out the genocide, but only at a massive cost, and it's practically impossible.

If you think he's at fault due to your poor memory, then according to you, they are the troublemaker. It ain't right, but it works(ish).
Uh, isn't that exactly what I said?

Roaming East's analogy presents genocide from a supporter point of view, not implying that RE is a supporter of it. I however tried to make an objective analogy.

Yes, it presents it from a supporter point of view, but that's often how people see it. It may not be reasonable, but it clearly happens often. You said it was a bad analogy, which I disagreed with. Sure, it doesn't go into detail, but people don't go into detail when they look for a scapegoat. His example presents it from the view of the supporter, because that is the logic he was using. A good example for a bad practice.
