What Nazi Germany classed as "untermenschen:"

  • People of Jewish descent
  • People of Slavic descent
  • People of African descent
  • People of Romani descent
  • Homosexuals
  • The mentally disabled
  • The physically disabled
  • Political dissidents
  • POWs

Qualifying people were dehumanized, arrested and initially deported, but eventually taken to camps and either systematically exterminated or put into slavery.

It's not enough to say that there are parallels, America is playing exactly by the Nazi guide book.

Also worth noting they basically learned all that from Andrew Jackson the first time around

I know we're largely focused on stopping Trump, and we need to.

But how do we save these guys?

Get NATO Countries (excluding the US, obviously) to send the military to liberate El Salvador.

Edit: Reworded for clarification

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

That is not how NATO works or what it is

Not saying we shouldn't try to free political undesirable prisoners, just saying that that is not what NATO is for, won't happen

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Obviously, this is not about the article 4/5 invocations. I'm talking about in a joint operation, unrelated to the NATO treaty, that are done by European Countries.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (3 children)

Are there Non-Nato countries with a military capable and willing to do that?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

For clarification, I said NATO Countries excluding the US

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Ok that makes way more sense

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yes. But it would be a violation of international law, so they should not be willing.

If the matter somehow transforms to obtaining the assistance of El Salvador in this case, a credible proposal of EU economic sanctions would hasten a compromise.

To be honest, I'm not fully understanding why El Salvador accepted those people from the US.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

I believe they were paid for it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Most countries would be able to take El Salvador on in a head-on-head fight.

Now, which ones can do so, if the US is backing the dictatorship there? That's a big question.

Monroe doctrine saber rattling against Europe intensifies

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

The courts might be able to stop future renditions, but the president or Congress have the power to end this or return them. Congress could cut off the funding (bribes) to El Salvador or president could force them to release people.

This is the only standard by which the Trump administration operates.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 days ago

This is horrific. Shame of the country.

[–] [email protected] 382 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

Every single person sent to El Salvador were innocent. Not a single one of them had their due process! This is all bullshit. ICE must be destroyed

[–] [email protected] 45 points 6 days ago

You're asking Hitler to get rid of the Gestapo.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

Thats the thing. Rounding up people from the street will not catch any criminals (legally speaking), by definition: if they committed a crime, and a judge deemed them guilty, they would be in jail or they would be fugitives. In either case, they are not unknowns, and authorities must've already knew about them. Getting people randomly off the street, you cannot, legally speaking, be catching criminals.

[–] [email protected] 166 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yep. Innocent until proven guilty, and not a single one of them was so much as indicted, much less charged or convicted. Blatant disregard for the constitution as well as human rights, everyone all the way up the chain of command needs to be prosecuted for this.

the fact that the democrats aren't filing articles of impeachment every single day tells you where they're at

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

All it takes for evil to triumph is for "good men" to do nothing.

This is, unfortunately, incredibly common in law enforcement circles. If you're paranoid, EVERYTHING is gang related somehow.

Not only that, but they circulate bad information among themselves. Booklets about how every sports team has it's own gang affiliation, etc.

From another article, one of the tattoos in question:

The US has a greater obsession with tattoos than Japan by this point. If you go to a place in Japan and show off a tattoo, the owner might ask you to leave. The US they'll gulag your ass.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Seems like most cops have tattoos now.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

Those are the gang tattoos we need to worry about.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

It's projection; those are often literal gang tattoos.

America has its Gestapo now. How much longer until they create SS that swears fealty not to the US but to Trump?

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They've already sworn fealty to Trump. Non-fascists don't join ICE.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

Yep, they're all Nazis or sympathizers
