I realize how it could land the wrong way, especially in such a serious context. I wasn't trying to mock or minimize what happened. I was trying to highlight how eerily Orwellian this actually is. The bureaucratic cruelty, and the erasure line up damn near one for one. It's already shockingly dystopian. I went for satire to underscore that, precisely because gestapo are disappearing people in broad daylight. I could have hit that goal better though, clearly.
