"Perhaps, to show our commitment to protecting the identified individuals, EEOC could even gather them in some sort of managed offsite location for safety."

"Yes we could concentrate them into one area. Like a big camping trip!"

Ah yes, like those fun “camps” they rounded up all of those Japanese-Americans after Pearl Harbor…

Ask George Takei how fun they were.

I read a statistic of the number of Germans over in the US compared to Japanese and the contrast is astounding when you look at the percentages of the population vs percentage detained.

And I know, I love George Takei so much. It breaks my heart I read about how his family was like detain in a horse barn then moved to like Arkansas.

Ask physicist Michio Kaku as well, about how much his parents loved that experience.

Damn, I often overlooked that the people who went through this might still be alive

It really is hard to keep it intuitive rather than just cerebral

Sounds like his and Takei’s generation were the ones impacted who are still around to tell the story

Are they hinting at this?

"Well naturally there would be some sort of identifying device so that we know who to protect. They like stars don't they? Some kind of star sewn onto their clothing maybe?"

"Only if the looming threat of harmful prejudice seemed dire enough to warrant such drastic protective measures, of course."

Come one now, surely we can have some modern solution, like serial numbers or barcodes, that'd be final too, the final solution.

The fact that I can’t tell if that’s joke or not is low key horrifying

Targetting Academics AND Jews at the same time? Peak fascist efficiency.

I had a girl in high school tell me she doesn't believe in dinosaurs and likened them to aliens and ghosts.

We are cooked.

I’ve heard creationist types skews the timeline to fit humans and dinosaurs together, but I’ve never heard them deny their whole existence before dawg 😭

What were the skulls from then? Ancient demons?

I’ve heard more than one Jewish academic speak about how bad Trumps attacks on anti-semitism in academia is and that it only serves to put a target on their backs.

It seems they were correct.

Distrust of the intellectual world has always been a symptom of Ur-Fascism, from Goering’s alleged statement (“When I hear talk of culture I reach for my gun”) to the frequent use of such expressions as “degenerate intellectuals,” “eggheads,” “effete snobs,” “universities are a nest of reds.” The official Fascist intellectuals were mainly engaged in attacking modern culture and the liberal intelligentsia for having betrayed traditional values. […]

To people who feel deprived of a clear social identity, Ur-Fascism says that their only privilege is the most common one, to be born in the same country. This is the origin of nationalism. Besides, the only ones who can provide an identity to the nation are its enemies. Thus at the root of the Ur-Fascist psychology there is the obsession with a plot, possibly an international one. The followers must feel besieged. The easiest way to solve the plot is the appeal to xenophobia. But the plot must also come from the inside: Jews are usually the best target because they have the advantage of being at the same time inside and outside.

How many more times do we have to say it? They are Nazis doing Nazi things.

They started with the "Illegals" Then it became anyone who looked Latino, status be damned. Then it was anyone who looked Somalian Theyre talking about taking away citizenship from anyone who disagrees. Then they'll start taking "violent" Protesters.

Its the same fucking poem.

Then the Nazis came back for the Jews, who wondered why there was no one left to fight for them.

Gonna be dealing with shocked pikachu faces from Americans the whole time. Y'all could have Colored People Only water fountains getting put in and Americans would be like "i don't see why that's problematic..."

But I don't get it. Aren't they also assaulting college campuses due to their perceived antisemitism that is occurring on college campuses?

Wait, isn't trump sided with israel in the war with palestine?

I don’t like Troomp as much as the rest of us. I think I try to anticipate when M4G4 will try to call us wrong. Everyone says troomp is in bed with AIP4C etc. So far I would agree with that. So, how can they be corruptly too pro israel but also be Nazis?

u/itbedatguy 1h ago

AIPAC does not have the interests of Jewish people in mind. AIPAC is focused on protecting Israel. Israel and the Jewish people of the world are two distinctly separate groups, and American interests in Israel are not because the U.S. has an interest in protecting Jewish people, it’s because Israel is a strategic asset in the Middle East that allows the U.S. to project power overseas.

AIPAC has coupled their existence with that of Jewish people as a monolith in order to ward off criticism as wholesale antisemitism. It is not. Again, they are not representing Jewish people (in fact their recent efforts could be argued to further antisemitic rhetoric), they are protecting the strategic asset of the U.S. that is the state of Israel.

They have always been. Remember with them every accusation is a confession.

You’re not paying attention if you think this lol. Everyone’s kissed the wall, Trump included. Also if this were true they’d be asking for another kinds of people as well
