    Totally reasonable and not at all deeply sketchy and fascist. Hiding who is on the planes and where deportations are headed is not at all incredibly reminiscent of Germany 80 years ago.

      Holocaust Denial is a practice as old as the Holocaust itself.

      It was started by Nazi propagandists. They danced around the genocide by using cryptic words like “special treatment” or “final solution”, or “alligator alcatraz” (edit: oops got my timelines mixed up)

      Meanwhile, they kept people mostly in the dark as to what was going on there. People were abducted, transferred, and procedurally executed, with 0 transparency.

        Note that “final solution” was a euphemism back then. That’s where the phrase gained its context.

      We’re right before the “Madagascar Solution” part of history.

      We all know where this is going.

        We also must remember that, while the 21st century Nazis stole the script, it will likely not play out in a linear fashion. So always be sure to read ahead and behind to ensure the proper context.

        Also current history as well. ICE was formed in 2003, after 9/11 as a “response” to it, and the whole time, both Dem and Repub run government have used it to deport people in cruel ways. Now ICE is very overt and emboldened more than previous, but the cruelty has always been present. There are many ways this could continue that may not end up seeming so overt, people must remain vigilant.

    The rest of the world is watching and wondering what is going on. On ethical grounds USA is currently uninvestable for me personally.
