🚨 This is literally textbook Aryanization

- State violence causes economic distress
- The targeted group forced to sell assets
- Non-targeted people get a 'deal'
- Economic incentives align with persecution

We have seen this before.
It is happening NOW in the United States.

"Remigration" is ethnic cleansing. Eliminationist economics at work. "Aryanization": a Nazi euphemism for systematically taking property from persecuted groups. It started as "voluntary" due to economic coercion, later became theft backed by violence.

"Aryanization"

By the process of "Aryanization" in Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945, Jewish-owned businesses and property were transferred to non-Jews. Learn more.

Economic pressure creates this kind of "voluntary" asset liquidation. Migrants facing ICE raids are forced to sell cars and other things quickly at below market prices so they can flee or prepare for detention. They're not choosing to sell. They're being forced by state violence.

This happened in Germany but it also happened in the United States during WWII. Japanese Americans were sent to the concentration camps and their homes, businesses, and farms were taken and often never returned.

When this happens the population who aren't being targeted by ICE benefits from the sales. Americans can now buy trucks at a low price because of ICE. This creates a situation where people have an economic stake in the persecution. Just like Germans who bought Jewish businesses.

This is exactly how authoritarian regimes create economic stakeholders in genocide. Advertising the financial benefit of ethnic cleansing to create more popular support.

'Get those deportation numbers up and you too can profit from your neighbors being sent to a camp.'

The plan for ethnic cleansing in the US is coming from the very top down.

Three phases:

1. 'removing' undocumented people.

2. 'removing' legal migrants.

3. 'removing' citizens judged as "non assimilated".

@continuation I hate how these people talk. I no longer can hear "game changer" in a positive light seeing the kinds of people who use that lately. And calling something that often just results in someone's death by "remigration" that's just gonna be the new euphemism for ethnic cleansing in the future.

Exactly right, remigration already means ethnic cleansing, it's exactly the meaning. See the Wired story linked above but also this one.

The worrying backstory of Trump’s proposed “Office of Remigration”

The State Department is reportedly creating an office for "remigration": a far-right policy that calls for what has been described as "soft-style ethnic cleansing."

Absolutely! Thank you for saying this. I hate that term "game changer" - as if real life is a game. It’s childish & lazy to talk about serious topics & use "game changer" in the same sentence. Say what you mean clearly without euphemisms! (Not you specifically 🙂 I mean we all! Anyone using language…)
