đ¨ 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.
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".

Horrifying language, heâs âexcitedâ & I guess many others are too, at the thought of legalised stealing & theft from the people who are being persecuted.
Something thatâs surprising is that no one rips their masks off. đ
Exactly right, remigration already means ethnic cleansing, it's exactly the meaning. See the Wired story linked above but also this one.

Absolutely! Thank you for saying this. I hate that term "game changer" - as if real life is a game. Itâs childish & lazy to talk about serious topics & use "game changer" in the same sentence. Say what you mean clearly without euphemisms! (Not you specifically đ I mean we all! Anyone using languageâŚ)
@leomas @ArtHarg @sidereal @continuation Well, seeing that you end up with only Native Americans in the USA when you remigrate everyone descendent from the Mayflower forward, it's somewhat likely they're not fascist.
(Although technically you'd have to remigrate everyone descending from the Spanish colonists of the southern and western parts of the USA as well.)
@continuation I have a lot of privilege. Like not millionaire privilege, but middle class, highly educated, and clean up well when I am forced into public. I live in Texas, ya know the area that was Mexico until some white dudes decided they wanted slaves and Mexico said Oh hell no. I have a lot of Hispanic friends, neighbors and contractors. Here is how Iâm using my privilege , and how others similarly situated may be able to help.
Iâve signed guardianship documents for green card holders whose children are American. When my landscaper said his family was self deporting, I hooked him up with my attorney and my real estate broker friend, and got the guy at the dealership to make a fair offer on the trucks.
I went to the priest at the Catholic Church that serves as a community center for Hispanic families, and gave him the names of reputable asset folks, lawyers working pro bono and my phone number if they see la migra in the neighborhood. Iâm not afraid of them.
I have a fairly good amount of privilege, too, even though I'm cash poor; it is mostly because I'm housed, but also bc my skin color, age, etc. (bc this stupid rigged society). đ
I recently used my modest amount of privilege to help one of me dearest friends and his kids stay housed (I signed on as a guarantor for his lease). In an ideal world, I would've just bought a house to let them live in, but I don't have that kind of money. I do have those kind of dreams, though!
There are a lot of small things we can do no matter our level of resources -- if only we think about it and set our minds to it, IMO. That's what mutual aid and community care are about.
We individually may not be able to do everything, but every little thing anyone does adds up.
Better days ahead... I'll charge my saw batteries. đ
@arisummerland @MissConstrue these are good ideas.
Whatever happens, we gotta be sure to avoid repetitive stress injuries:

I don't wear earrings except the very small titanium rings that keep my piercings open. But I saw somebody with guillotine earrings in a video recently and I was like, yes. More of this, please.
I've got a couple of patches on my patch jacket, but you know I could always have more.
From the "America's problems are all caused by those pesky others, greedy billionaires have nothing to do with it" file.
In Germany, there is this art project "Stolpersteine" (stumbling stones): In front of houses where deported families used to live, a few bricks of the sidewalk are replaced with brass plates bearing the names and some basic info about those people.
I know of one case where the current owners of a house complained about Stolpersteine being installed in front of their door.
They inherited the house from their grandparents and everyone knows how *they* got it...
@continuation
Let me make this very clear:
#Germany is not going to take #KingDonald back neither via #remigration nor by any other 'plan'!
With his second term his guarantee expired and he'll have to stay in his #sycophantwonderland .
@continuation I was seeing posts on Massachusetts Reddit where neighbors were photographing piles of stuff that landlords were putting on the curb after the tenants were snatched by ICE.
Good people were taking what they could to keep it safe in case the people came back, or if their neighbors family showed up to salvage important stuff. One guy was trying to get people to help keep his neighborâs truck from being towed away until the family could pick it up.
Bad people were celebrating âfree stuffâ that was up for grabs.
Thank you for outlining two clear responses to the #Aryanization under discussion: âGood people were taking what they could to keep it safe in case the people came back, or if their neighbors family showed up to salvage important stuff. One guy was trying to get people to help keep his neighborâs truck from being towed away until the family could pick it up.
Bad people were celebrating âfree stuffâ that was up for grabs.â

The first scenes in Schindler's List are about the confiscation & carpetbagging of Jewish assets.
Republicans have become "Aryan Treuhander" plunderers.

Let's call it what it is: Pogrom
Two funny-peculiar things about these posts by âNathan Halberstadtâ are his German surname (therefore we presume some part of his origin is/was German; âHalberstadtâ = âhalf cityâ literally, perhaps mid city or downtown) & lack of shame or any sense of history or irony. He is a poster boy for the bad.
@Su_G
ICYMI: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halberstadt
A picture book American, just like his Lord and Saviour, Herr Drumpf.
Stunned! You can't make this stuff up - but maybe someone has... It's almost too...
"Halberstadt was a regional production center for Junkers aircraft, which also housed an SS forced labor camp. Halberstadt now includes the area where the Langenstein-Zwieberge concentration camp was situated." đ
@continuation Nathan doesn't think they'll ever come for him.
They will eventually come for him.
Thanks for explaining it so clearly, the economic benefits to the in-group (who can loot with impunity) of persecuting designated out-groups: âThis creates a situation where people have an economic stake in the persecution. Just like Germans who bought Jewish businesses.â
Like the person in yr toot gleefully bragging about the benefits to the 2nd hand truck market of ICE persecutionâŚ
A horrifying situation, but look at the past: it worked for the Nazis⌠How to turn it around? Sugar in the tankâŚ
