Sure. But nobody wanted to round them up and gas them. They gypsies, same story.
The division was already there. But - the holocaust was not just the natural and inevitable progression of that dislike. That happened for the reasons i noted.
And if it hadn't been the jews and the gypsies, then some other group would have been exploited in the same way.
These things happen when politicians are allowed to sell the idea that the "other" is out to get you and you need to do something about it.
So what you're saying is if the ethos wasn't strong enough to have a major impact by itself we wouldn't have a law forbidding it in the first place because there'd be less impetus, ergo it's hard to measure which came first the ethos or the law, sort of a chicken and egg situation.
Fair point. It's probably historically demostrably true that the stronger the ethos the stronger the law in such regards. So i'll concede that.
Nope, not what I'm saying at all. But we end up at the same place, so I'm OK with it.
If it was, they got really stupid ideas of "merit." And Gertrude was even worse than Hamlet, and she was a White woman, pretty much the traditional ethnicity/sex for Gertrude (at least after that surly old asshole James I kicked the bucket).
Well like the illegal immigrant version is, sure
Or like the unvaxxed, or like the irish, or like how if blacks had their freedom they'd rampage and none of our womenfolk would be safe, or lets not forget the commies (warren commission) or the gays and transvesties. Or the christians, or the jews, or the protestants or the Catholics, Since the beginning of human history political leaders have found one group to alienate and get everyone else afraid of or angry at (or better yet both) in order to weaponize them adn motivate the people to turn over power. It's always that way - "Threat posed by gays/mexicans/unvaxxed/jews is real!! You must therefore give me extraordinary powers to deal with this crisis, which i promise i'll give back as soon as the threat is over. If you give anyone else power or fail to give me extraordinary powers, then this evil threat will kill you and eat your babies. "
It's an old saying - the power hungry dictator will always declare an emergency first before trying to seize power.
JIVANI: Trudeau administration funding racial segregation — Toronto Sun
Racial segregation is not a sign of progress. I can’t believe this needs to be said in 2023. But, apparently, it does. For years now, Canadian institutions have surrendered to the demands of critical race theorists and other so-called progressives who argue Canada is a “systemically racist”...
Maybe y'all should be more wary of Pete Poo-lover, then. "Everything is broken and only I can fix it" is pretty close to a declaration of emergency.Well like the illegal immigrant version is, sure

Or maybe it's just election-season puffery. Be interesting to watch.
Or actually declaring an emergency is pretty close to declaring an emergency.
It’s got to be really close (less than a month) to the first anniversary of Trudeau digging out the actual Federal Emergencies Act for bylaw enforcement of the parking situation in Ottawa.
it's not even remotely close to a declaration of emergency. Like - not even a little. It's actually the 'other' most popular political angle, one used effectively by Obama in his race: "things need to change". Is there something you're unhappy about my friends? Is something in your life less than perfect? Why isn't anyone fixing that? It seems so obvious that it' not acceptable. You know what - I can fix that for you. Vote for me. Just do it.
Change is another huge motivator, although obviously timing is important with that one.
The thing about dictators is they will demand extraordinary power to 'save you'. Powers you would not normally want the gov't to have, but MUST have now because CRISIS!!!!!
You know - like having the power to censor the internet against "Wrongspeak" and the power to seize people's bank accounts and the like
Oh no. I'm quite sure PP does intend to bring change
LOL.
It's a shame that the best political speech ever given was by President Andrew Shepard in The American President.
Oh, well, Henry V never gave the St. Crispin's Day speech.
Oh, well, Henry V never gave the St. Crispin's Day speech.
I'd settle for having the power to rid the internet of "Fuckingidiotspeak."
Who would get to decide what “Fuckingidiotspeak” is though? That’s the crunch issue here.
I know I can be subtle but it’s Trudeau, I mean true though.
Well, as the copyright holder on the term. . .
Well, almost everything is broken. Worse, our governments insist on letting the people that created the mess be responsible for the fix. We see thjis at all levels of government.
