    Totally reasonable and not at all deeply sketchy and fascist. Hiding who is on the planes and where deportations are headed is not at all incredibly reminiscent of Germany 80 years ago.

      Holocaust Denial is a practice as old as the Holocaust itself.

      It was started by Nazi propagandists. They danced around the genocide by using cryptic words like “special treatment” or “final solution”, or “alligator alcatraz” (edit: oops got my timelines mixed up)

      Meanwhile, they kept people mostly in the dark as to what was going on there. People were abducted, transferred, and procedurally executed, with 0 transparency.

        Note that “final solution” was a euphemism back then. That’s where the phrase gained its context.

    The rest of the world is watching and wondering what is going on. On ethical grounds USA is currently uninvestable for me personally.
