TFA is equating the beginnings of the ethnic cleansings of a highly and historically persecuted peoples to the authoritative actions against politically active citizens and non-citizens. I’m sure there are many cases with classified rationale, and many that are also blatantly illegal.
I’ll keep reiterating: I don’t think what’s happening in the US is ok. But I also don’t think the analogy is ok.
- fatbird 2y agoThose politically active citizens and non-citizens have a fairly distinguishable ethnic slant. Your logic-chopping the analogy looks like rationalization.
- LastTrain 2y agoYou stop A from happening so B doesn't happen. You Stop B from happening so C doesn't happen, and so on. Sure, it may not lead to ethnic cleansing, and likely will not, but it only can when people are complacent. Picking people up off the street for doing nothing illegal and depriving them of due process is a huge fucking deal, I can't help that a majority of people in this country are ignorant as to why. Re: "I'm sure there are many cases with classified rationale", this is your tell. You are perfectly fine with this happening here and there, which is dangerous to the rest of us.
