“To those turning in your neighbors and local businesses, you did the reich thing”

The 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic saw governments use “snitches get rewards/riches programs. Some people countered with an image of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and a reference to the Third Reich:
   
“To those turning in your neighbors and local businesses, you did the reich thing.”
   
The image was posted on Twitter by Sal the Agorist on April 11, 2020.

I got a week ban from FB for posting a meme of a certain German leader saying “If you report your neighbors, you did the Reich thing”.
