    Being compared to a kapo isnt just "an insult", you're directly being accused of essentially betraying your own people for those who wish to exterminate them all, not in a hypothetical sense, but compared to people who actually made that choice in rea life, it has a massive fucking cultural weight and trauma behind it and being called that by someone who isn't even a Jew would amplify that rage.

        If you're not able to understand why someone would be justified in committing manslaughter over that word, then you simply do not understand the full weight of it.

        Think of the video recently posted on here of a white customer calling a black service worker the N-word and then getting punched the fuck out. It's kinda like that. Had that customer had a glass jaw and died from that punch, many of us would still crab dance over it even. The words are not directly analogous, but the rage they incite absolutely would be, and someone who's not Jewish using it as a term of hate would and should get an involuntary nap.

          The closest analogue I think would be calling a Black American a "House n*gger" but even that doesnt fully translate how absolutely horrific of an insult Kapo specifically is because of how close in time the events are and how concentrated the horror is, which makes the betrayal it references many times worse.
