If this is a Nazi reference, Census data was used to send people to concentration camps here during the same era. Less awful than death camps, at least.

- voakbasda 4mo agoWe easily could exceed their atrocities, because our modern capacities for inflicting harm are better, faster, and cheaper.
- Loughla 4mo agoThat's a very strong statement. I'm absolutely no fan of ICE or indefinite detention of people based on where they were born, but I'm not sure we have camps where we're committing genocide in the states. Nor do I see that in our future.
- fc417fc802 4mo agoSo if the death camps hadn't been for the purpose of genocide but rather for disposing of the poor or convicted criminals or perhaps those suspected of being illegal immigrants would that have made them okay? It seems to me that "I'm not sure we have camps where we're committing genocide in the states" is largely irrelevant to the issue at hand.
- DaSHacka 4mo agoYou're making the argument the Nazis only deported people? Sounds ironically more generous than the actual nazis claiming it either didn't happen or was 'deserved'.
- fc417fc802 4mo agoI'm making the argument that the ideological or political underpinnings of the nazi's actions aren't what's relevant when drawing parallels regarding concrete abuses. It doesn't matter why the people are being interned, what matters is any violations of human rights and the associated responses.
