No.
You're conflating two completely different things.
Hitler made lists of people to reduce their liberties, silence them, then eventually "disappear" them.
Adblockers make lists to ignore ads. No one is stopping people from writing ads. People are opting-in to ignore them.
That's the distinction, the ads are still there and you can expose yourself them if you wish. There is no mandate, everything is opt in.
The lists we're talking about here are adblocking for people. Not target lists for death squads.
I don't think you understood what I said, because no one is talking about killing people. There is no excuse for having public lists of humans to be blocked, because they are a bit weird or are connected to weird people. Just because one person has this opinion. Its extremely dangerous, because most people look at the list (because they don't know these persons) and believe and follow it.
Have you not learned a single thing past human history (not only internet)?
