I guess we'll just have to wait for ICE to mass murder people before we can make any accurate comparisons, because otherwise it's "insulting".
Yeah, I'd say the main feature of the Gestapo is mass murder. Otherwise why did you choose them as a comparison? The criteria you used to define the Gestapo could be used for every immigration organization in the world. But you chose the Gestapo of all things.
Quote:If you really believed they were like the Gestapo in any meaningful way, then you are morally corrupt for doing nothing meaningful about it. If I really thought our country had a Gestapo in it, I would be morally forced to oppose it with all my will and my physical being.I'm morally corrupt in a great many ways, but at least I'm not silent when they come for the browns, lol.
Quote:But of course you don't really believe that, just that the word Gestapo sounds really bad, so it's a good one to use against people you don't like.Or....ICE has found a way to make a joke of itself while imitating historic human rights abusers. 50/50.
The first step to solving the problem is to admit that it exists. We have a problem, 3rd rate american nazis are driving policy and discussion. It would be just this side of adorable if it weren't for all the misery.
(we are both aware that the problem began long before the trumpkins inherited it, I'm assuming? The "people I don't like" would be a pretty huge group of folks)
