I hope you're right and I'm wrong, but deporting people for not being white is already happening, extrajudicial execution is already happening, disregulated millitias with no accountability is already happening, retaliation on the scale of cities and States for not supporting the leader is already happening, armed removal of foreign leaders for nakedly political reasons is already happening, threatening to invade neighbouring countries is already happening, and here you are telling me it's all fine because at least they haven't copied the Nazis by killing off a whole village yet, they've just written their message of annihilation on a podium?
You are absolutely splitting hairs while citizens are openly abducted and killed in the streets. Again, have some sense of perspective! For you it hinges on the wording?!?!?
The wording is not just wording. Directly quoting a Nazi slogan would be an unambiguous endorsement of the Nazis. So far the administration behaves in ways that are like the Nazis, but they do not open fly swastika flags, etc.
So to say that I'm splitting hairs about wording, to me, feels the same as if an article said "Trump flies Nazi flag" and the flag is the thin blue line flag. Yes, you can make a good argument that the thin blue flag stands for the same thing as the Nazi's flag, but surely, however alarming it would be for him to fly a thin blue line flag, it should be more alarming for him to fly the literal Nazi flag. It feels as though you're saying something like "you're just splitting hairs over the colors and shapes on the flag, the meaning is the same". But clearly the meaning is not quite the same - the colors and shapes on the flag DO have additional meaning that changes the urgency of the situation. The actions of the administration are horrible, the phrase on the podium is horrible, but I think there is still a substantial difference in what constitutes a reasonable response to it that depends on whether it is an actual Nazi quote or not. And in my hypothetical situation, a headline like "Trump flies Nazi flag" would be a blatant falsehood and misinformation, regardless of the underlying symbolic content of the flag he flew.
Thank you for being polite and not calling me a bot or whatever else. It's valuable to talk with level headed people to adjust my ongoing measure of the risk of staying here and the urgency of leaving.
You're very welcome, but when I read this comment, I had a rueful chuckle because I worry that I'd been rather too argumentative to count as in any way polite, so sorry about that, and I'll try harder to live up to your charitable interpretation rather than destroy it.
I'm not convinced that it's better in any significant way to have invented your own horrific policy slogan (that mirrors real nazi actions) than to have used a literal translation of a prewritten nazi one, but I decided before logging on that I was going to stop arguing with you on that point, so I should already have shut up and dropped it. Here's the parting compromise: you're right, it's not a literal nazi slogan, it's a newer maga slogan that just looks a lot like past nazi actions.
Many of their followers now do. I don't really understand why explicitly and openly nazi is such an important distinction for you.
