Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Auschwitz — a complex of over 40 concentration and extermination camps — was not located in Nazi Germany either.
@Strandjunker Everyone can also be reminded that many people were sent to Guantanamo Bay without due process. They were mostly Muslims so few people cared, but it created precedent and engendered also cruel soldiers who become cruel politicians like DeSantis and Hegset.
This is not really new, only closer to home for many.
@dacig @Strandjunker About Guantanamo Bay: when I was on my foreign exchange at a US law school with other Swiss law students, we confronted US professors about this. They saw no problem in having an extra-territorial detention camp and granting no human rights to the accused whatsoever, arguing they were "simply terrorists who didn't deserve them". We were shocked to our bones!
@ji7ro @Strandjunker US law professors indifferent to people being stripped of rights and humanity. Shocked but not surprised.
