Dude, the goddamn Philly PD has more officers per capita than the Gestapo did and has easily committed more large-scale violence. Their presence outside Prussia was limited at best, most of the people they arrested never ended up in camps, and the vast majority of their work involved attempts to infiltrate the Rotekape…

That’s an excellent grasp of what a society is that you’re demonstrating, son

That’s what I’m saying. That the Gestapo weren’t the ones who were scarier than your average g-man. If somebody said they were acting like stormtroopers, that’d be inaccurate. I’m being a pedant about history, not saying that breaking up a protest is a war crime.

That’s less of a war and more of just a colony now, I think. There’s no plausible “win” scenario, but many are now hoping to exploit the shit out of their Rare Earth Mineral resources. Any increase in hostility to Chinese trade (increasingly likely) or instability in the Congo (a safe bet for the last ~200 years) will…

You’re thinking of the Totenkopf-SS. This is legitimately Gestapo-like. Those guys were much smaller potatoes than movies should have you imagine. Other Nazis made fun of them.

It’s a grim fucking thing that what’s considered too cruel and capricious for wards of the state is (officially) normal and fine for free citizens

Oh, we’re way worse than North Korea, both gross, and per capita. Nothing in the history of the world, not a one of the most brutal police states, nothing in the height of the most desperate and terrible wars, can touch the scale of our system of imprisonment. We have no peers in this field. We truly have become the…

Bull Moose 2020!

Lot that is completely not what a description of Plains people as savages wearing furs is

But this is the opposite of "glossing over," it's "engaging directly"

Lol triggered much? 

Why stop there? No, seriously, in your understanding, what’s the downside of just... liquidating these people, shall we say?

Unless for some reason the country you’re forced to flee has, like, customs in their airports, or something. Then you’re pretty much stuck crossing land borders. But hey, Mexico is probably pretty good at defending people from drug cartels, so what are they complaining about?

... what do you think “asylum” is?

Leaving the part where you suggest that a 19th Century economist is somehow in the same generation as me, and how dumb “I don’t read things that I don’t already know I’ll agree with is,” the idea is just to read whatever’s fashionable with people who are more successful than you if you want to become one of them.…

A graph that stops at 2000, before insane jumps in minimum wage appeasements over the last few years, isn’t showing a damned thing worth seeing. Even taking into account the fallacy of the graph you showed with no linking information or research and it not even being close to up to date....

“If you forget you are a Jew, eventually, someone will remind you”

Yes, but it hasn’t always been. The North was doing a lot better and the South a lot worse during the Cold War.
