You're missing my point, though. You pay lip service to *wanting* something to be done about this, but all your words only spout doom and gloom in a defeatist attitude. Your words actively betray your supposed intentions.
If you *actually* wanted progress in this matter, you would benefit from changing your messaging. Otherwise, you just look like every other troll that's actually pro-nazi.
So which is it?

You raise fair points, but I want to circle back to intent. Because what you're advocating in your last sentence is hurt by your original comment.
The whole point of "it's happened once before" is to show that something is actually possible. It's not theoretically possible, there's a real world example to show it.
Bringing up counterexamples does not change that.
You can show one counterexample. Ten. A hundred. A thousand examples of when something didn't work. They don't negate the one time it did.
And to go even further, you should frame all those counterexamples as simply learning lessons. Examples on how not to do it. Because the framing here matters. If you want someone to be smart and try to find a solution, you frame history that way.
If you're trying to discourage others from trying, you do it the way you initially did.
