I'm inclined to give AskHistorians a pass. There is no community on Reddit that tries as hard as they do to moderate their way around the limitations of the platform and its management.

The verified posters tend to be millennial academics with masters or PhD's in history or closely related fields, and they take the name of the community seriously. You are there to ask a historian a question, and if none answers, then so be it.

And I agree, pushing past the obvious dog whistle to go somewhere the data doesn't lead is a way to weaken what should be a self-evidently powerful argument that the Trumpers are embracing ever-more-openly fascist positions on, well, everything.

If you ever want to check, just dona search and set the range of dates to end before the current outrage.

Before January, I couldn't find a single use of that phrase on the internet.

But it's not some dog whistle, it's blatantly obvious what they're saying. Don't let them get it twisted up so that the only bad things are verbatim what nazis said.

Same. I did find a recent substack that acknowledges that this phrase as a reprisal war crime was not verbatim used by Nazi Germany, it was just "in the spirit" of how the Nazis did their war crimes.

Good message. I agree.

However, their message is still abhorrent

Yeah, mods should probably delete the OP post imo... Its pretty bad to allow something blatantly false to spread like this. Especially looking at the upvote ratio.
