    Fanfiction 
"I just…can't believe that such a thing could happen. That no one would see what was happening and stop it."
Luz looked at Lilith with befuddlement, before her expression turned to one of irritation.
"You're telling me you don't see the similarities…they don't ring any bells??"
Lilith and most of the others shook their heads, looking at Luz wide eyed and confused. Luz gave out a short laugh and pinched her eyes closed. She looked at Eda, who gave Luz an expression of understanding. She knew what Luz was getting at. She turned to the others with a sigh.
"She's talking about how Belos is pulling a slightly toned-down Hitler."
They looked at Eda and Luz in surprise before their expressions changed to ones of various degrees of horror. It was all there, the cult of personality, the "divine message/purpose", the incorporation of all parts of life under the coven system and his direct authority, the uniformed Isle-wide guards and soldiers that enforced Belos's rule without any oversight, the hunting and attempted eradication of a large subsect of witches, and the unethical execution and treatment of prisoners. Heck, the experimentation thing wasn't far off considering what he had done with bringing the basilisks back from extinction. They had all been exposed to this from the moment they were born, and they felt terrible for not doing anything about it now, for not questioning the things they should have questioned.
The Girl from Earth, Chapter 16

    Literature 
At the end of these bone roads are the volcano complexes where the geothermic energy is farmed. The tau captives are marched into these underground lairs and either herded onto high platforms or pushed onto crude transit belts. Electric currents often flow through these conveyors, their charge enough to stun the tau and prevent them breaking free. Then the unfortunate captives are simply carried over the edge of mechanical cliffs to fall into the magma, each xenos civilian burning bright yellow as he or she sinks into the molten rock. The Adeptus Mechanicus claim detachment, as usual. They say they are simply adding fuel, the better to power the steam engines high above. But I know better. This is a lesson, a statement so vile and extreme it will be carried by word of mouth across the Damocles Gulf and still further afield. The message is clear enough – those who sought to take advantage of the Imperium will find themselves on the pyre, becoming part of humanity’s great war machine in a far more direct fashion than they intended. Cross the sovereign territory of Mankind at your peril. We have inhumanity to spare.

    Live-Action Series 
The Doctor: If the Dalek gets out, it will murder every living creature. That's all that it needs.
Henry van Statten: But why would it do that!?
The Doctor: Because it honestly believes they should die. Human beings are different, and anything different is wrong. It's the ultimate in racial cleansing, and you, van Statten, you've set it loose!

Dalek: All inferior creatures are to be considered the enemy of the Daleks and destroyed!
Davros: No, wait! Those men are scientists; they can help you! Let them live! Have pity!
Dalek: "Pity"? I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

John: No, believe it or not, we've had men like you on my planet. Educated men. Men of science and medicine. Men who were searching for some self-described ideal and willing to maim and murder untold thousands to find it. There was one, his name was Mengele. To him, anyone was fair game as a subject of his experiments: the weak, the handicapped, men, women, children...
NamTar: The quest for perfection demands our unwavering devotion. This Mengele sounds like a visionary!
Farscape, "DNA Mad Scientist"

[to Grant Ward, in response to him saying that he isn't a Nazi] Yes, you are! That is exactly what you are! It's in the S.H.I.E.L.D. handbook, chapter 1! The Red Skull, founder of HYDRA, was a big, fat, freaking Nazi!

"The others like you, they beat 'the invaders,' all right. Just like they were programmed. They killed anything that was different. Alien. But we're all aliens to one another. Flawed, impure, different. Too tall, too short, too dark, too light! ...The man you took over, Nelson, he's seen lkarra! Ikarra after the others finished protecting it! Cleansing it of every slightest variation in genetics!"
Sinclair, Babylon 5, "Infection"

In America, you call it the 'alt-right'. In Germany, we call it 'why grandpapa lives in Argentina now'.
Kate McKinnon as German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Weekend Update

"To my critics, I am not a demagogue. I am a defender of democracy. But democracy, it has this tendency that we have to beware to become mere transaction. You give me this, I give you that. I come begging for your vote. Welfare checkbook out. Crowning the welfare kings and queens, until everyone has become a little tyrant, crowned by the state. The model that I follow isn't from the scorched marketplace, where cunning men haggle for the best price. That's not me. The democracy I believe in is where a leader emerges from the people, willed almost, into being, brought forth by the great sweetness of the virtue of the combined wisdom of the good people of this republic. Don't we long sometimes for something clean once in this polluted land? That's what I hope to bring. Not something grubby with compromise. Something clean and true and refreshing. Something proud and pure."
Jeryd Mencken, Succession

"People love what I have to say! They believe in it! They just don't like the word "Nazi". That's all.''
Stormfront, The Boys (2019)

Spock: Kodos began to separate the colonists. Some would live, be rationed whatever food was left. The remainder would be immediately put to death. Apparently he had his own theories of eugenics.
McCoy: Unfortunately, he wasn't the first.

People can be divided into two groups. Those who give... And those who take... It's just as how the Kalos region's two Legendary Pokémon gave life and took life. I want to be the kind of person who gives... But in this world, some foolish humans exist who would show their strength by taking what isn't theirs.
They're filth!
Long, long ago, the king of Kalos sought to take everything for his own, and he created a terrible weapon. Then the fire of destruction was unleashed... That is the legend that has been passed down. Kalos is beautiful right now! There will be no foolish actions if the number of people and Pokémon do not increase. That being said, the future isn't decided. You can't be sure each day will be like the one before. What the king of Kalos did was reprehensible, but... The ultimate weapon did manage to wash the world clean of that era's filth.
Lysandre, Pokémon X and Y

You know what these guys are? Has anyone ever made this joke before? Not-zis.

Bobble the Clown: How many, hee hee hee, how many entities were swallowed by Site-13? You silly silly out of place boy. Silly little boy. Everything made its way into Site-13. If the Foundation could find it and the Coalition could catch it, it was fed into the meat grinder down here. Everything. They mulched us all, if there was nothing to gain. Some got lucky. Bobble got lucky. Stuffed in a funny box and played with. Toyed with. Experimented with. To see what sounds we made when we wanted to die. Others were not so lucky. [pauses] They burned the Library, you know. Held it upside down like a can of soup and let the contents run out into the furnace, and burned the whole place up. They did other things, too. Worse things. Daddy Emerson liked it. He watched it all, everytime. Got his jollies off watching it.
AP-3 Ross: What worse things?
Bobble the Clown: Every worse thing.

"I should nip this in the bud here and now: if you make a comment saying 'HYDRA are not Nazis', you're wrong and you will be blocked. They worked with the Nazis, they utilized Nazi tactics, they employed Nazis, their leader was the Red Skull — a frickin' Nazi! You might as well just have did a find-replace on their pamphlets switching 'Nazi' with 'HYDRA'! If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and Sieg Heils like a frickin' Nazi, it's a frickin' Nazi. Don't try to split hairs when it comes to the frickin' Nazis! Just like all poodles are dogs, but not all dogs are poodles, all HYDRA are Nazis, even if not all Nazis are HYDRA."
Linkara on HYDRA in his review of Secret Empire
