Not knowing what the parent wrote one question I'd have would be: At which point is it legitimate to hammer a political movement for things they have done?

As someone living in Germany, I know that the original Nazis deployed self-victimization as an strategy as well, claiming the other side has no legitimate interest to defend, but only critizises them because they dislike them. Then they set the Reichstag on fire, claimed it was the communists, declared an state of emergency and that was that.

I think we are too assuming that such a thing would be impossible in this day and age. It isn't.
