We Germans remember very well, how those people sound, when fascism is over.
"Nobody knew, what they were doing."
"I've always tried to fight back."
"We had no choice, but obey."
"But he promised more, better jobs."
etc.The same we still hear from communist collaborators from eastern Germany.
Mark my words, this is, what you'll hear as well. It's always the same, no matter which color the oppressor uses as justification.
@cdonat @futurebird autobahn!

What do people sound like when reporting their neighbors, coworkers, students? Are they confident they are doing a righteous good thing?

@futurebird this is a fantastic example of the conservative imperative: people "belong" in specific places - literally and figuratively.
Being "out of place" is the worst sin. It must be stopped at all cost.
It's also why they disdain empathy and harm mitigation. Punishment is what keeps people in line.

Oh by the way, this is what the rest of the world thinks ALL Usonians are like...
it only took 250 years (for people in the us) to notice.

@futurebird
the "cowards are us" line... disgusting -
Is not like they call in, crying and in distress having been menaced by some horrible gang— no it’s a literal child trying their best to learn the damn alphabet— and this lady is like “oh he’s kinda different better call the government”
@futurebird tired: nanny state

@futurebird is this real? I don’t want to criticise good work, but the audio quality is so high, is it really a call? Are people really this horrid??
@specialmonkeytom @futurebird I'm not going to speak to the authenticity of the video, but this psycho bitch in the first video--I know someone exactly like that. The rural areas are fucking FULL of them.
Consider: Portland, OR is one of the spots known for its liberal values. Oregon in general. The PNW in general. But Oregon was founded as a white utopia. That whole ethos is very much still there and in the surrounding area.
Her complaint they were out of the city sounds real to me.

It is what jealousy, pure hate, envy and resentment does with people…
Gestapo, third reich
Stasi, DDR
Securitate, RumaniaICE, USA
All the same mechanisms

I wish I could call from a US number, or something, so we can flood the real tip lines with false information.
You can use google voice to make free calls to US phone numbers.

@futurebird If you needed a reminder of how stupid half the US is, here's a good reminder.

@futurebird This is so important. We know who the people who ran the Nazi camps were: school masters, shop assistants, public servants. People like you and me.
But we call them monsters to avoid having to face the fact that we could have been them.@edgeofeurope @futurebird Actually the people who ran the Nazi camps were not ordinary people, they were hardcore followers. And they didn't just obeyed "superior orders", they made the decisions they rightfully assumed were required the whole nazi project. Not to say ordinary people played no part, of course. But what Arendt called "banality of evil" is quite misleading.

@futurebird Chilling. The one where a guy wants to get his ex-wife deported because she divorced him may not be the same sheepish suburban voice but is a very casual cruelty that so many women experience.

@futurebird It seems like as soon as there's a number to call or address to write to for the purpose of "tipping off" the authorities about whatever, people cannot wait to start denouncing their neighbours. Doesn't matter if they've got no evidence of wrongdoing, that person gave them a funny look once, or they don't trim back their trees, or they let their dog bark too much, or they're just being wilfully foreign. And if they know the authorities don't care about evidence either, why not call?

@futurebird Wasn't the US defining principles that all men were created equal and endowed with unalienable rights, including Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness?
When was this swept under the carpet to bring in behaviours familiar in Nazi Germany, where people were encouraged to report on family, neighbours and friends to the Gestapo? How long will normal folk in the US put up with this shite? -

As for how long will we deal with it, we have been dealing with it for coming up on 250 years now. I don't see it changing anytime soon. The bread and circuses haven't ended.

@petealexharris @futurebird The monsters are humans, and we are *not* better than they are. That is my point.
They come from among us, they have been raised in our societies, they are monsters of our own making.I've heard the cliche before, I understand it, I just reject it.
You're better than someone who wants to deport a child, or I don't know what to tell you. People who wouldn't are better than people who would.
Did something in our society make them that way? Maybe. Are the people who don't want to deport small children responsible for the ones who do, somehow? Absolutely fucking not.
They are monsters of each other's making, perhaps, not ours.
