- saubeidl 1y agoMay I familiarize you with the Madagascar Plan? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madagascar_Plan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madagascar_Plan The Nazis were claiming they'd deport the Jews at first. It never goes directly to death camps, it's baby steps of normalization. > "But the one great shocking occasion, when tens or hundreds or thousands will join with you, never comes. That’s the difficulty. If the last and worst act of the whole regime had come immediately after the first and smallest, thousands, yes, millions would have been sufficiently shocked—if, let us say, the gassing of the Jews in ’43 had come immediately after the ‘German Firm’ stickers on the windows of non-Jewish shops in ’33. But of course this isn’t the way it happens. In between come all the hundreds of little steps, some of them imperceptible, each of them preparing you not to be shocked by the next. Step C is not so much worse than Step B, and, if you did not make a stand at Step B, why should you at Step C? And so on to Step D. - Milton Meyer, They Thought They Were Free - The Germans, 1933 - 1945
- ck2 1y agoThe "one neat trick" the Nazis did was first declaring all Jews illegal immigrants that was what opened to door to every creeping horror next then they took away healthcare because they were illegal immigrants then they took away the right to have jobs because... they they limited where they could exist/shop/times of day in public because... THEN they got to the concentration-camps THEN they got to "well too many and bullets are too expensive/tedious, let's build gas ovens" All it takes is "othering" a group of people by any characteristic and the majority of the rest of the population says "well that's not me so not worried" Right now in America there thousands of people WITH GREEN CARDS (legal status) sitting in our concentration-camps, no criminal records, and they will be there for several months awaiting hearings before being deported. Then you've got the teenage kids who have never lived in any other country that are being held in our concentration-camps and will be deported? To where?

- miltonlost 1y agolol trusting ICE with their data
- marcusverus 1y agoThis is a ruling that allows the Trump admin to deport people to third countries when they are not able to deport them to their home country--either because their home country refuses to facilitate their return, or because they have specific legal rulings preventing their deportation to their home country. It doesn't apply in the overwhelming majority of cases. Pretending otherwise is deeply dishonest and is obviously intended to instill fear for political gain, which is just gross.
- anigbrowl 1y agointended to instill fear for political gain, which is just gross lmao that has never stopped MAGA politicians and mouthpieces from fearmongering about immigrants, anyone who's not white, the poor, sexual minorities, feminists, etc. etc. Apparently the only remedy is to treat conservatives as they treat others.
- marcusverus 1y agoOP's hysterical claim that 8.4 million people will be "disappeared" is not even remotely comparable with anything MAGA has claimed, as you well know.
- diamond559 1y agoYeah, we're just sending them to torture camps in 3rd world African countries where they'll probably starve. Very legal, very cool.
- marcusverus 1y agoWe've sent a handful of criminals (among them a murderer and a child rapist) to third countries after their own countries refused to take them back. It is deeply dishonest to pretend that this practice applies to everyone being deported.
- neaden 1y agoThey've asserted their authority to send people to another country that they came from, like sending people Liberia and South Sudan. So it looks like you are the one living in an echo chamber rather then reality.
- marcusverus 1y agoSome criminals whose home countries refused to take them back were sent to third countries, ergo we're "disappearing" everyone who is deported? That's your position?

- ck2 1y agoThey are deporting babies born here and have never lived anywhere else, some taken right out of the hospital There are kids sitting right now in cages at Alligator Auschwitz without an adult for days and days and have never known any other country Your parents were born in this country? How about their parents? Because now they've run out of "criminals" they are putting people with legal status ("green cards") into the concentration-camps and when they run out of those next year who do you think they are going to keep busy with? US Citizens have sat for days in prison before even given the chance to show citizenship, why don't you think that's going to happen to you eventually?
- ted_bunny 1y agoIs it even worth posting the Niemöller poem anymore? People have been taught their whole lives how this works. If they won't see it now, what will they understand?
- micromacrofoot 1y agoThat's not what they're preparing to do. They're building open air prisons for tens of thousands of people. It would take years to deport that many people. If they fill these things it will be a humanitarian disaster.
- orthecreedence 1y agoYou think they'll stop just before they get to you?
- ljsprague 1y agoThey are literally going to deport everyone. There will only be a few people left hiding in the forests.
