Get a warrant. The federal government should not be "soliciting vendors" for my location. I love how the accounts defending ICE are always brand new.

- j-pb 8mo agoGerman here, with little stakes in your shitshow. At no point during the obama years did I think: "Wow this looks just like the rise of the nazis!" Which was covered extensively during my history classes. Why did you even have all the school schootings if you don't use that stupid second ammendmend thing you have? This is the tyranical government you've all been waiting for.

- habinero 8mo agoYou can really tell which states actually fund their education programs by who understands this and who does not.
- jacquesm 8mo agoIt's a disease and it is spreading, fast.
- direwolf20 8mo agoIf you are German, then you are probably blind to the similarities between current German politics and the Nazis, so this is not a good point of comparison.
- account42 8mo agoBut it's only Nazis if you disagree with them. After all, the whole point of drawing the comparison is to shut down any possibility for discussion and nuance - "people I don't like are just like the nazis so I don't need to treat those who who doesn't fully oppose them with any respect".
- direwolf20 8mo agoThe ones who are exterminating a race are the nazis
- j-pb 8mo agoWhich race?

- donkeybeer 8mo agoAny race or group can be genocidal. What's so special about Israelis?
- account42 8mo agoUnfortunately the extend of what the average person seems to have learned from WW2 is jews = innocent victims, german/non-jew nationalism = evil.

- account42 8mo agoPerhaps "what you thought then and now" is the difference between those times more than "what happened then and now". With the former being largely influenced by "what your bubble told you then and now".
- j-pb 8mo ago“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
- learingsci 8mo agoWe don’t have good data because it’s illegal to, for example, ask citizenship status on our census, but if you believe the numbers many democrats cite, Obama deported more immigrants than Trump. You can use Google to verify that though I’ll warn you the rabbit hole runs deep when it comes to official statistics. Importantly, under Trump we have far more violent felons to deport. The media thrives on salacious and emotionally charged stories rather unbiased reporting based on nuanced facts. It’s the entertainment industry. The recent tragedies are indeed thoroughly depressing for all of us, but we shouldn’t let our emotional reactions destroy our ability to reason and think objectively about history and statistics. We can feel and think. Some of us believe enforcement of laws is the villain in this. Some feel the laws themselves or the idea of borders and sovereignty are to blame. Others that a surge of violent criminals such as those who killed Jocylan Nungary or Laken Riley is the cause of the recent tragedies. None of these views are inherently evil. All of these views have some merit. Truth is manifold. Don’t be narrow minded, we need broad thinking not simplistic pathos driven dogmas and references to nazis. Grow up.
- j-pb 8mo agoThe number of deportations under obama was definitely higher, but he had only one concentration camp (guantanamo bay), and didn't use that for his own people. Learn about the tolerance paradoxon, there is no negotiating, nuance and reasoning with fashists. Your enlightened centrism is nothing but smoke and mirrors. Get educated.

- donkeybeer 8mo agoWhat? Where's the bad faith? You made a really dumb argument and got a simple factual response. And you still failed to engage with that response instead making up imaginary persecution.

- donkeybeer 8mo agoDownvoting is not censorship. Nobody involved here is a mod or admin. I see you still haven't responded to the simple fact asserted in the original post though.
- donkeybeer 8mo agoYou had a chance to respond to the simple factual claims in this message and you still instead used your reply to hilariously claim down voting is censorship where there literally was no moderator involvement therefore literally nothing preventing you from responding. If you think downvoting is censorship why are you not on a website that doesn't have downvoting? You probably also think marriage between peoples of different countires is violent genocide given your hysterics in magnifying simple events into the dramatic and extreme.
- donkeybeer 8mo agoNo higher authority came in to block your speech. Your peers expressed disagreement with you. Where is the censorship?
- donkeybeer 8mo agoWhy did you vanish? Tell me which moderator blocked you? Are you okay in the head? You are imagining hallucinations where you are being censored or persecuted by some imaginary entity.
