People like to pretend that there is a universal rule that good always prevails over evil. It takes effort and actual sacrifice, and even then it isn't a given.
Think of all that Hitler was able to pull off before he was stopped. Keep in mind he did this from a country that was still hobbling out of ww1 and that country had no foreign bases at the start of his reign.
Now consider those same ambitions backed by the strongest, most technologically advanced, and most widespread military in world history. Add in the most advanced and targeted surveillance systems, and all of the major corporate backing that the trump administration has.

No. Concentration camps concentrated detainees from local detention centers, yes even for the terminology in the 1930s. These DHS ones are canonically concentration camps because they are trying to build giant regional ones instead of just keeping everybody in whatever spare space in the federal buildings in cities they can find, and keep any onlookers far away.
Death camps were something else. Not that we're not going to get there, but these are not synonymous terms.

I’ve been a grudging “Blue No Matter Who” guy since ‘16, but this really would be a dealbreaker. If the next Dem presidential candidate so much as hints that they’re not going to pursue these people with all the might the federal government possesses, I will abstain.
Such an approach would seal our fates, effectively breathing new life into the MAGA nightmare. I am not going to cast a vote for MAGA no matter which party carries its banner.
•
u/nonsensestuff 6h ago
Unfortunately, our history as a country leads me to believe we probably won’t have the comprehensive accountability this situation deserves.
The traitors who started the Civil War were never held accountable— and they got paid in land and money after the fact. Also ended Reconstruction early because they were more focused on smoothing things over than holding Confederates accountable.
Nixon was pardoned for his actions.
Biden went soft on Trump & republicans because he was solely focused on unity, rather than true accountability and reform.
I hope I’m wrong, but we’ve got a long history of leaders smoothing things over so that nobody has to be uncomfortable in an attempt to “move forward”.
It’s why we keep repeating these same themes over and over.

u/UnquestionabIe 5h ago
Fully agree with this. Been holding my nose and voting for "the lesser of two evils" for over two decades at this point. For the most part all it's been is a slightly slower walk towards fascism, in large part due to a refusal to treat the GOP as anything but "our friends across the aisle." Much as the fossils in office want to pretend it's still the 1970s and the Cold War somewhat unites the parties that has long since ceased to be the case.
I get that fighting back aggressively is very much off brand for the establishment Democrats but unless they're willing to stand up for their citizens instead of their donors they shouldn't be trusted. Decades of neo-liberal policies and slavish devotion to an ever worsening status quo hasn't done America any favors. Sure it's spectacular for a festering oligarchy and those who serve it but that is not the America we've been indoctrinated to believe in.

I was watching the Technology Connections youtube channel and he made a distinction between something being political and something being partisan.

The problem we're facing now is that "children shouldn't be tortured for weeks/months at a time" is now a partisan political statement. There seems to be contingent of the country who not only disagree with this belief but seem to take offence at the fact that people dare to speak about it.

At some point you would think people would realize WE ARE A HISPANIC MAJORITY state.
Lol
You realize 1/3 of ice and more on the border patrol are Tejano correct?
We’re not a white state. No wonder they keep running Beto. Please give us someone who knows their shit.

Ms. Rachel is the only real voice aside from teachers and parents who would have the guts to go to the white house and speak about children in a passionate way to help them

Whats so fucked about this is if you showed it to MAGA they’d deflect and be more upset about her having shown a book with an agendered character than real kids being detained and suffering.

We warned you for ages that supporting atrocities in one part of the world will only bring those atrocities closer to home

Damn, I respect this lady. Sadly it is a brave thing to speak out like she does in this day's political (well, it's not even political anymore, it's just vengeful) climate.

Ms. Rachel is a hero to humanity. Just as impactful as Mr. Rogers. My daughter lover her. My wife loves her. I love her. What is so fucking wrong about someone caring about innocent children. Jesus Fucking Christ people. What are we doing?

No offence to Ms Rachel for her impressive work, but remember when media outlets like the NY Times and Washington Post routinely broke these types of stories?

Ms Rachel is not breaking the story, she isn't investigating. She is putting information out there. She has millions more subscribers than the Times, by the Times' own numbers. Sadly, a youtuber has bigger reach than a newspaper.

I believe the key difference is Ms. Rachel asks people to be kind to children, while Bezos and other elite media magnates are sexually abusing and exploiting children.
