So you don't have to execute them? Huh.

Literally just saying the Nazi stuff out loud on national television: labeling a group as “asocial” and a “drain on society” as a pretext to first locking them up “for their own good” and then euthanizing them “for the good of the state.” Just chilling, horrifying rhetoric.
