It's kind of ridiculous to anticipate an event that's never happened before.

There have already been examples given here. And also, that's absolutely untrue. Things have firsts.

Those examples are isolated incidents and not any indication of a larger risk.

Go tell that to the population of Germany in the 1930s.

They didn't have a "Germany in the 1930s" example like we do now, so it's different.

You're right, they didn't have an example of their exact situation, so they should have felt perfectly safe. They could see that pogroms happened in other places, to other people, a long time ago, obviously not even relevant in hypermodern civilized 1930s Germany.

I'm glad you recognize how fundamentally different the world is today than how it was in the 1930s, because not realizing that would probably confuse the hell out of you a lot of the time.

We live in a time distinct from anything that has come before, just like they did in the 1930s. Exactly like the 1930s, really. Totally different.

I see you have never worked in the insurance industry then.
