Next Wednesday is #HolocaustRemembranceDay.
The greatest honour we could afford the victims of Nazism would be to LEARN from it, but instead, all we do is demonise it.
We cannot learn from what we demonise. We need to understand it! @HolocaustMuseum

It is not just Nazism that is, understandably, demonised, but everything associated with it.
The Nazis manipulated & abused human tribalism for their own evil ends, in #NeverAgain response to which human tribalism itself was demonised, which was a HUGE mistake.

Tribalism is as inherent & essential a part of evolved human nature as is our sexuality. Demonising it is madness - but with pernicious, power-political method to it.
