We are so far up that slippery-slope that our butts would be scraped completely off by friction before we ever got even close to a Holocaust anything. Anytime someone like you brings up something like that so casually, it's cause to point-and-mock. If anyone is cheapening that atrocity, it's you.
As for the "blind" obedience thing, I used the words "so called" for a reason. I don't buy it.
