MANILA President Rodrigo Duterte said Friday that he would like to kill millions of drug addicts in the Philippines, defying international criticism of his countrys bloody war on narcotics and escalating his brutal rhetoric with a reference to the Holocaust.
Hitler massacred three million Jews, Mr. Duterte said after returning to the Philippines from a trip to Vietnam, understating the toll cited by historians, which is six million. Now there is three million, theres three million drug addicts. There are. Id be happy to slaughter them.
Killing that number of drug users would finish the problem of my country and save the next generation from perdition, he said.

I seem to recall Herr Hitler had a similar rationale as well.

Also, he is already doing it.. over 3K murdered.

The Nazi's tried to hide what they were doing.

Get ready for anybody politically undesirable to be framed by the death squads and executed for being a 'drug dealer'.
It's also scary how he uses the exactly language used by Hitler to justify his proposed genocide. "Cleansing society of undesirables". I think Hitler said stuff like that about the Jews, gays, and other hated groups.
