The Gestapo always comes FOR YOU, eventually. #ItsWhatTheyDo
#FAFO (Fascists Always Find Out)....
#ItsWhatTheyDo
Just like--regardless of what they may say for public consumption (which often isn't THAT much different!)--the mission of #Trumpism is to end democracy & transform America into a Christofascist Gilead, the mission of #IsraelAtWarCrimes is the #EthnicCleansing of #Palestine and the #genocide of the Palestinian people.
So OF COURSE they're using aid deliveries as bait to lure Palestinians to their death--just like the forces of genocide did in Ethiopia, in Rwanda, in Somalia. #ItsWhatTheyDo.
The question anybody who still sees America--even aspirationally--as a force for good needs to be asking is why the hell a nation that wants to cast itself as the champion of human rights & the rule of law is continuing to act as #GenocidesBodyguards, rather than fighting as protectors of its victims.
In Pink Floyd's song, "In the Flesh," there's a verse that begins, "Are there any QUEERS in the theater tonight? Get 'em up against the wall!" The song then runs down a list of traditionally persecuted groups, including Jews and Blacks (using a racist epithet). "There's one in the spotlight--he don't look right to me--get him up against the wall!"
As #AgolfShitler's ICE #Sturmtrumpers start boarding public conveyances in full battle rattle, indiscriminately questioning everyone (without warrant) looking for marginalized groups, who's to say what group is next in the spotlight? "First they came for...." Will you say nothing?
One of the chilling messages inside Pink Floyd's song is that everybody in the audience presumably CHOSE to be there "in the theater." They thought they were part of the IN group. And maybe they WERE: by the end of the video, all who remain are explicitly exposed as mindless supporters of the new order. But as that one verse made clear, the fascists always come for YOU, eventually, no matter how loyal you think you are; no matter how much of your humanity you've surrendered to the #Donjjal "for a little temporary security."
What are YOU going to do to stop them, while you still have the chance? Here are some ideas:
From the article: "Johnson's tactics sparked considerable frustration from some rank-and-file lawmakers who felt he was being too heavy-handed."
Jeezus FUCK, dudes--AUTHORITARIANS ARE HEAVY-HANDED. #ItsWhatTheyDo.
And no matter which side you're on; no matter how loyal to der fuhrer YOU think you are...the Gestapo always comes FOR YOU, eventually.
Resist now, or forever hold your peace....
