Existential ComicsAlways a good time these days to repost this slide from an IBM internal presentation in 1979.
Stefan EissingDo not travel to the USofA, part XXXIV:
- doing everything right is not enough
- white skin does not protect you
- detention may mean a cell shared with 70 people, fighting over food, without medical supplies
- your signature will get forged if you refuse
- judge orders for release on bail are ignored

David ZinnIt was clear from their first day who would be the rabble-rouser and who would be the rousee.

It’s nothing to do with immigration. It’s about the would-be dictator having his own private military that:
- can be deployed domestically
- at will
- unbeholden to the UCMJ etc
- or disciplined military culture
- or any accountability whatsoever
- with unpredictably violent behavior
- applied indiscriminately
- to anyone
- so that the entire population is terrified of it
…because for them, the problem with Jan 6 was that the coup wasn’t violent enough and didn’t have enough weapons.

Dwight D. Eisenhower, after visiting liberated concentration camps in April 1945
