    The difference between them justifies different treatment. One is a Group of immigrants that is within your jurisdiction and even your custody and only wants to work. The other is a Terrorist that wants to kill people and is at roughly the opposite point on the globe, far away from your jurisdiction and custody. They don’t need to be treated the same.

    Also by not killing him they would have disregarded the right to live of his potential victims.



  • I see it another way.

    By the time Auschwitz happened it was already way too late to oppse the Nazi Regime. It was too late to save lifes and prevent tragedy. But at Dachau it wasn’t.

    It also makes it seem like this (Donalds Dachau) is the endgame. Like this is the worst they will do. When they will in fact do much worse.

    By calling it an Auschwitz, I feel we’re kind of throwing a towel and telling ourselves that the MAGA-Regime is already too powerful. It isn’t. They’re only just starting, they can still be stopped. It also makes it seem like this is the height of their tyranny, which it isn’t. Noone should stay at home thinking “well, it isn’t that bad” but instead go to the streets thinking “it mustn’t get worse”

    Also we all know that Dachau isn’t “harmless” in any way, and my comment should be pretty clear that it was awful. Comparing it to dachau isn’t normalizing it, it isn’t disrespectful, because it’s what gets closest to it. On the other hands it can be seen as disrespectful to all those who suffered and even perished in Birkenau to be compared to “Donalds Dachau”.

    Lastly let me assure you that I am NOT, as implied in your comment, defending the current US-Regime nor normalizing Dachau.





  • why should we ignore it?

    because then my whole argument actually makes it worse.

    How about the ocean life destroying trash gyres? Sea- and bird-life choking plastics? Microplastics with as-yet not fully understood fallout? Chemicals from plastics and their manufacture leaking into water supplies?

    Plastics are a generally a petroleum product, so regardless of whether the product from those drilling rigs makes plastic bottle tops or bunker fuel, it’s killing or hurting something for our convenience.

    Summed it up perfectly.

    Still not putting a /j on my comment though.









  • Even if OP isn’t advocating thta, I am.

    Tankues hve advocated to not vote democrat over gaza and less people voted for hillary than for biden.

    Of course there’s no way proving this is true (and it shouldn’t, since voting should be nonymous) and it certainly was until a certain part also racism and sexism, but the intensity of the calls to boycott dems and Harris having way less votes than Biden is suspicious.
