Khanna on Massie: They ousted him because he was leading on the Epstein files, because he was leading the push against the war in Iran, and because he was leading the push saying we shouldn’t give another dollar to Israel while it’s violating human rights.

This is how it starts. Not with camps. With certainty. Nazism didn’t begin with gas chambers. It began with moral righteousness, mass emotion, and an all-encompassing ideology that claimed history was on its side. The early Nazis didn’t present themselves as monsters. They presented themselves as progressive. They spoke the language of social justice for “the people.” They promised state-run healthcare. They pushed collectivism over individualism. They wrapped everything in grand theory, moral urgency, and utopian ends. The horror came later. What matters isn’t whether Nazis ticked today’s partisan boxes. What matters is the mechanism: absolute belief in a goal, emotional mobilization, moral immunity, and the dehumanization of dissent. That’s the pattern. And history shows it clearly. Look around. Large parts of today’s radical left now speak with the same moral absolutism they claim to oppose. They openly fantasize about sending political opponents - ICE agents, Trump supporters, conservatives - to “re-education“, camps, or prisons. They normalize the idea that words are violence, and therefore violence in response is justified. They excuse or romanticize political murder so long as it’s framed as “defense.“. They use antisemitic tropes while insisting they’re morally superior. They support terrorist organizations while calling themselves human-rights activists - and feel righteous doing it. At some point, an honest person has to ask: when do you realize you’ve become the thing you swear you hate? We know how societies slid into concentration camps. But people rarely ask the parallel question: how do you get to gulags? The answer is the same every time - through totalizing ideology. Through movements that stop seeing people and only see categories. Through communism and its moral descendants, where dissent becomes heresy and obedience becomes virtue. And while Western societies tear themselves apart, who benefits? China Russia Qatar Authoritarian states don’t need to defeat democracies militarily if they can fracture them internally. Division is cheaper. Ideological radicalization is scalable. Antisemitism - rebranded as “anti-Zionism” - has always been the most effective solvent for destroying free societies because it mutates, adapts, and corrodes from within. The so-called “Free Palestine” movement was never primarily about human rights; it’s an old Soviet-era destabilization instrument, updated for social media, aimed at delegitimizing democracies and normalizing hatred. This isn’t about left vs right. It’s about reality vs delusion. About whether we judge movements by their slogans - or by their behavior. If we don’t stop rewarding extremism with applause, if we don’t reject ideological possession in all its forms, we don’t end up with justice. We end up weaker, poorer, more divided - and ruled by people who do not value freedom at all. History doesn’t repeat itself exactly. But it rhymes - especially when no one wants to listen.
