ICE are the 21st century Gestapo
- Thread starter Eboue
- Start date
I don't disagree but the association with Nazi Germany I think is that people knew what was going on. The people it was happening to and the people who stood by and each time the victims said "It's okay, it's not too bad, we can survive - we can live with this" as first their livelihoods were destroyed, as people were beaten in the streets, as they were forced to work in camps etc. The Observers when they started saying "Well it's a necessary evil, the people will be alright" at each stage and on etc. I think the trouble is that a large number of people in the States will lie to themselves just as badly.
Edit. We know it is bad now, horrific but it can, might, will get a lot worse.
Law enforcement agencies in America is aggressive, racist and violent but hardly the Gestapo.
I had no idea these feckers were out there.
Perhaps if I was black I'd have bumped jnto them by now.
Or maybe I need to watch more trash tv.
Joking aside I'm deeply uncomfortable with the way they engage with people.

It's not a very good comparison.
ICE to the Gestapo, is like a dozen to 11 million give or take a million.
Using it to describe ICE cheapens the word. What do you describe the next police states secret police that round up and kill 11 million domestic and foreign civilians?

Brownshirts then?
SA would be more fitting yea. Political bullies who hadn't quite matured into genocide yet.

That's me to a T.. @Florida Man
"Well it kinda is..."
Next they’re gonna teach them how to maximize space by standing so they can fit in the train cars.
Seriously... this is right up there with the bullshit we did to the Japanese-Americans in WWII
But you know - they are very religious...
Surely this can't continue now that the public is becoming aware of it. The more info that comes out the more unreal it sounds 
The US public has been complicit in a lot worse over the years. I don’t have much faith in us at this point.Surely this can't continue now that the public is becoming aware of it. The more info that comes out the more unreal it sounds
No better time than the present then.
I'm going to write a letter. Might not do anything but some of these stories are just crazy to me. Shouldn't be happening in modern countries in 2018.
Joe Dirt perhaps
Laura Bush has penned an OpEd in the Washington Post condemning the Trump admin’s child separation policy...

Anybody else ever heard the kids song, “Jesus loves the little children”?
“Jesus loves the little children
All the children of the world
Red and yellow, black and white
They are precious in his sight
Jesus loves the little children
Of the world.”
The GOP may need to add an asterisk in there or something so it still je-ha’s with their biblical defense strategy. Kids might start getting confused.

I hear Josef Mengele is decent.

- A teenager at a US Border Patrol facility in South Texas took care of a young girl for three days after she'd been separated from her aunt.
- The 16-year-old taught other children in her cage to change the girl's diaper.

Jimmy Dore made a great video about this subject.
They have the power to oppress the poor and the weak now, and export the cult of the money around the world, destroying the hopes of many millions, but maybe someday their own people will look for hospitality in foreign lands.
What do you reckon is a lot worse than this? Genuinely interested. This is pretty horrifying.
Off the top of my head
The forced extraction of Native Americans under Andrew Jackson (Trail of Tears)
The rejection of Jewish refugees before/during WWII
The forced internment camp for Japanese Americans during WWII
That lark called the Jim Crow laws/segregation in the US South.
Actually the response (in terms of anger/disapproval) in the US has been surprisingly widespread.
Was there a reaction like this wrt Narau*? Or has it always been hushed over? Because from articles I think that is roughly as bad as what the US is doing.
*Nauru, i can't spell apparently

There was a show called 'Go Back To Where You Came From' by SBS here iirc when 'boat people' was a thing still cared about by the Oz public. Ever since, it was out of sight out of mind pretty much.
The government here have been very successful in brainwashing the public about the need for security and danger to the ecosystem regarding refugees and asylum seekers.
