@futurebird I won’t watch the video for my own MH today, but some “regular” people have such capacity for evil, and even more when they can be anonymous.
I remember about 10 years ago when I was with some neighbors and they were all banging on about immigrants this and immigrants that. I said “I’m an immigrant” and they said, oh, not you. I’m white. I knew exactly what they meant by that, and I knew they couldn’t be trusted.

@futurebird I can just imagine what spurred on this teacher to do this, it wasn't her rigid application of the law or her moral obligation. It was something even more simple... like she seen the mother or father turn up in a car that she couldn't afford or else she seen the child get better care taken of than she ever got. Envy is a powerful motivator on the weak minded and insecure.

Or maybe we keep calling them monsters, because that's what they are. We *couldn't* be them, we *wouldn't* try to have a pre-school child deported. We shouldn't tolerate their poison amongst us.
We just have to recalibrate our intuition about how many monsters there are, is all. Just because they do normal jobs and wear a normal face doesn't mean they are us.
@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. -

@futurebird I also an choosing not to watch for now but I'm curious if anyone knows whether that teacher was reported to their school district.

@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??

@futurebird
Yes, and then she's hypersensitive to the perceived sarcasm towards herself... Racist bigot. She should not be allowed anywhere near children.
@futurebird @Su_G
The sarcasm was very slight, he just repeated her words, she knew it was terrible. It is terrible -

@futurebird it's things like these that make me despise our species. I mean seriously
. Can you imagine a gazelle in Tanzania calling a lion hotline saying "can you go eat this gazelle", it has a kid but I don't think it's from here. I think it crossed from Kenya. I don't like it.

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!

@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

@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 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.
