If Trump can disappear them, he can disappear you. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/if-trump-can-disappear-them-he-can?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
@rbreich Hitler had the Waffen SS, Soviet Russia had the KGB, and the United States has ICE. Same shit, different assholes.
@rbreich That's what fascism is all about. It always starts by disenfranchising a minority, hoping that the unaffected majority will not intervene. Then, more and more people people from the originally unaffected majority are also disenfranchised until no majority is left.
The "good" news is that at a certain point fascists start turning against each other. That bad news is that, often enough, everything has already been destroyed at that point.
Is it just me, or do others also think that the judiciary is not really putting up a fight?
It has now turned into legal fisticuffs about who knew what about who from who, and who may talk about anything to anyone.
Sure it keeps the bank accounts of lawyers well funded, and commentators enthralled, but who does it help exactly?
The only clear order would be: "Get them back. Don't care about how much it would cost. You made the mess, you clean it up."
@rbreich I want to see him try. My family has been here since the 1600's. We predate the country.

Leave the Nazi table!
In the times of the blogspot, nobody thought "I can't have a blog in the blogspot, because some nazis have also a blog in blogspot". Why that preoccupation with Substack?
I understand that preoccupation in Twitter or Facebook (who have a network effect, where you need to have an account there to follow and interact), but not in Substack
[Being in Twitter or Facebook is like being in the same table, while Substack or Blogspot are like different tables of the same cafe
It’s one thing if someone wants to go out and self host a blog with Nazi or hateful content.
What Substack is doing is actively enabling Nazis to monetize their hate. They are not only platforming Nazis but providing them with tools to receive payments from subscribers and analytics to amplify their message of bigotry.
#Substack is absolutely in the same category as #Facebook and #twitter
