It's time people realize the holocaust is coming and all democrat politicians, immigrants, and other minorities are in grave danger of being imprisoned and executed
The executions have already began with Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Good may have been a knee jerk reaction incident. Nothing is convincing me that Pretti wasn't executed on orders. The 5150 protests were heating up. A unit of the gestapo was sent out specifically to put a bullet in someone's head. The killers were immediately disappeared. The whole thing was orchestrated.
I'd extend that to Democrat voters and anyone on the left. Don't forget that the Communists and Socialists are the first ones the Nazis went after.
I'm in danger for multiple reasons if the conquer Canada
I don't see the Canadian people or government allowing that.
Thata not gonna stop them from trying.
Dont get me wrong, but between Quebec and our natives, they'll have strong resistance. But if the US invades, it will be american for a bit.
This is why there are borders. Now, obviously an idea doesn't stop at a border nor does being human? but it's the line in the (proverbial) sand where doing something invasive can really pinch.
No, that's why there are militaries and civil preparedness, neither of which we are particularly strong on at present.
I wish we did civil prep like the Nordic countries do.
The USA has much different motivations than Hitler.
The USA (by this I mean those who control our government financially, Trump is a goon) doesn't want to wipe out it's own population. There's no desire for "breathing room", there's a massive amount of comparatively empty land.
You're expendable, but unless you make things expensive for someone, the USA is fine with you being a consumer and drone. You are still generating wealth for the system, and there's no reason to spend the money to load you into a train. You generate more wealth than you consume.
They don't care enough to bother killing you, you're not a threat to them. (by "you" I mean the average American voter). Democrats or Republicans are consumers only, they're not capable of changing the political system in any way.
It's a massive "political playpen" without an option to threaten Amazon.
If you're right, they'll immediately start loading thousands of people like you and me into trains after they "seize power". If I'm right, the Democrats will "win" a narrow majority and immediately call a recess. WOW THAT WAS CLOSE OKAY RECESS
Something, something, something, racial purity.
Something, something, something, the Klan.
Yeah but those are, weirdly, small fry in this game. Those sorts of groups aren't heads of insurance pools or think tanks, those are just pondscum clubs in neighborhoods. They do have hands in things, but I feel like they're small hands that are easy to manipulate. Kkk and the like, specifically. As prevalent as they are, racists are super low brow losers, cranky about being in small shitty ponds.
Oh, the board room members may not be card carying members of the KKK, but most of them agree with their values.
I understand that, but also don't like the taste that that unfortunate fact leaves in my mouth. Pointing it out certainly isn't preventing more of the cycle of monkey-see-monkey-do to fit in.
I have no idea what your trying to say buddy.
If something like that makes you uncomfortable, please sit with it.
Because its true. Racists are more than low brow people. They're fucking everywhere that matters to them. Like poliece and politics.
Can we wipe out extraneous apostrophes?
"it's" not being the proper way to make "it" a possessive is counterintuitive enough that it's not worth it to me to correct anyone on it, and the meaning is clear regardless
Yeah it’s people like me with cystic fibrosis and post lung transplant who are expensive to keep alive and use Medicare that they want dead
I wonder if there's really a "they" or if it's just the abstract ideas and human behaviors that are in charge.
I know there's definitely stringpullers and council meetings and stuff, but even they answer to certain powers. I wonder who's really at the top.
We are being stonewalled from checking on "deportees." It's probably already happening.
I believe there is a high probability executions are already happening in the camps
yeah, sometimes by sheer neglect.
Lol the democrats will join them.
