I want to inform you plainly: the idea that citizens of a country are so broadly more loyal to a different country their parents or grandparents or great-grandparents came from, that you should (without trial) steal their property, destroy their pets, and forcibly move them into a space with minimal healthcare, shelter, and food, is a perception that can only exist in the framework of bigotry and xenophobia. There is a wide swath of the population that would consider this viewpoint unreasonable and uncivilized.
- oh_sigh 3y agoSo you would be okay with internments, if a judge said it was okay?
- SamoyedFurFluff 3y agoPutting individual people through a trial that they actually committed an act of treason or terrorism at least gives them the rights afforded to them in a court, such as legal representation, the right to hear their charges, the right to appeal decisions, etc. (I also have issues with the actual application of the courts these days, with the pressure of guilty pleas and the like, but theoretically it is better than violating the rights of over 100k people due to being related to someone from Japan without any evidence that those individuals have committed any wrongdoing.)
- ok_dad 3y agoThe Supreme Court did say it was okay, but it was not.
