In 1934 the Nazis ended birthright citizen ship in Germany.

Jews, Roma, Black Germans, communists, trade unionists, and others were stripped of citizenship entirely. Their assets stolen and they were rounded up, they were thrown into vans by government agents and disappeared.

Seems familiar somehow. Remind me — what happened next?

Meanwhile, right now, in America….

@Dhmspector It’s interesting they are going after a child pornographer, as it has great propaganda value in their favour to justify this action. After all, who would want to be on the side of defending that type of person?

If successful it will set a precedent, which can then be used for lesser offences.

Also, if they’re successful, this person will be stateless, so I suppose they would be a good candidate for CECOT in El Salvador…

@ADMP to further your point — they’ll also get to paint every crime they deem worthy of denaturalization as being on par with being a child pornographer.

@Dhmspector Exactly. The truth doesn’t matter in this situation, just the emotion it evokes.
