I'd say the classic example is when a small german man with a mustache starts looking in religious registries to find the address of certain types of people

It’s usually not a great example because it’s basically the one thing that is “never going to happen here”. Normally the one about abusive law enforcement offices stalking ex-partners (or helping their buddies stalk their ex-partners) is better because it happens fairly regularly.

We really are in unprecedented times when it’s looking like the big one could happen in the United States though…

I never really understood that angle - do you think the Germans would have thrown their hands up and not killed anyone because they lacked accurate data on who was Jewish?
