𝐿𝒢𝓃𝒢 "not yet begun to fight"Aug 19, 2024

Nazis didn't start by attacking the Jews. They started by attacking trans people, disabled people, and a group of mostly undocumented migrant workers called the Romani.

1. First they labeled them as dangerous and unpatriotic deviants.
2. Then they passed laws controlling their movement and access to services.
3. Then they criminalized their existence.
4. THEN they put them in concentration camps and gassed them along with millions of Jews.

And once you remember that, MAGA's words and actions against trans people, disabled folks, and undocumented migrant workers start to make a whole lot more sense.

@Lana racism against Romani people is unfortunately pretty much as bad these days too, at least in Europe πŸ₯²

@hazelnot @Lana I think its got a little bit better ,we had a friend who worked with the UN ,she gives talks in schools and runs a charity helping women and children across the world which gets a lot of support and shes Roma .That would have been unthijkable and un do able when I was young ,But the majority of people are still prejudiced

@LynMhairi @Lana yeah, I live in Romania and most people will go "oh that's cause you've never been mugged by a [slur]" if you try to tell someone off for being racist against Romani people, but younger people are less prejudiced at least, there is a growing number of people who will fight against anti-Romani racism online and stuff according to a friend (most Romanians are on Facebook and Instagram which I avoid lol)
