Nuremberg 2.0

An image from the Nuremberg trials, with a filter over it that makes the image grainy and gives it a purple colour. Text above reads 'Nuremberg 2.0, this time with the real criminals'.

Nuremberg 2, or 2.0 is a concept popularized by Q Anon that has since been used in adjacent conspiracy and anti-government movements. It refers to a fantasy in which perceived political enemies are put on trial for 'crimes against humanity' just as Nazi war criminals were in the Nuremburg Trials of 1945-1946. Through pseudolaw arguments and conspiracy theories, Covid-19 health and safety measures like vaccine mandates are often considered to be among these crimes. The advocacy for Nuremberg 2.0 embodies a desire for violence towards political enemies and distorts Holocaust memory by comparing Nazi Germany's actions to modern Covid-19 measures.
