Bill to track transgender Tennesseans passes the House

The targeting of queer people also isn't discussed as much in America because it doesn't paint the US in the best light. When the allies liberated the camps, the queer people were put right back in prison, since it was illegal to be queer in the allied countries at that time too. It's like the fact that Anne Frank's family was turned away from the US as refugees and sent back to die when the Nazis found them. It makes the US look bad, so it doesn't get brought up much.

Carl Schmitt, who was basically the philosopher for Nazis, developed a theory on how to push a society insular. You didn’t focus at your goal, but instead attack the boarders of what is considered acceptable to move those boarders further exclusionary This is pretty obvious nowadays, but I don’t think it’s consciously thought about a lot which is a shame because it would help people recognize it as republicans continue to utilize it.

Trans, then queer, disabled, communists, socialists, and then Jewish people. There is a runway to genocide and we are on it.

It was all undesirables. This included Freemasons, Gypsies, people with disabilities, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and political dissidents.

They also almost eradicated the Romani, per capita they lost more of their population than any other race.

The queer and disabled

My favorite play is "Cabaret",the first time I saw it was in 1988 at a small junior college in western Oklahoma and it really moved me. I already knew what happened back then but it just reinforced what I already knew. Of course the locals made fun of it with the same old lines like " they got what they had coming" and so on. I really don't know what's going to happen if this party remains in power.

Nazis killed 12,000,000 people. Just half of that were Jewish people.

The elderly and disabled were actually the first targets according to Aktion T4; the methods developed to kill them then were used on all the other "undesirables" as well.

Close enough, although people with disabilities were easy first targets, since they were framed as a burden to society during a period when the German people were struggling. Forced sterilization of the disabled began in 1933. By 1939 the Nazi’s began the “Aktion T4” (euthanasia) program which served as a pilot project to provide the initial infrastructure to carry out the rest of their atrocities.

“It’s bad to ignore history and burn books you disagree with.” “Don’t ask what books the Nazis we’re burning it’s unimportant” type of shit

Here in my home state of Oklahoma, they are trying to pass laws banning books and openly talking about book burning on the floor of the house chamber in OKC. My home that I have called home for almost 60 years now has become something I don't recognize.

They're not buildung giant people warehouses just for immigrants

There are a shit ton of protests scheduled today, in fact. Protests have been happening since Trump retook office, but the news generally doesn't cover them unless they're too big to ignore. People have been protesting. I don't know if this news source is relevant to you, but it's discussing protests today. https://www.komu.com/news/midmissourinews/over-30-protests-for-no-kings-day-scheduled-in-missouri/article_b641ba25-543a-4180-8e76-ffdc6387148f.html

For some of us the cruelty and targeting of trans people is one of our biggest reasons for protesting and hating this administration. Anyone with even a shred of humanity should see what is being done to trans people is evil.

I was at a protest today of probably 500 people in a small town. There were several people with trans flags and symbols that i saw and plenty more with general LGBTQ symbols and our state senator spoke about advocating against anti-trans bills. We're right here and out in the streets

“I support the rights of trans people, as long as their rights don’t give me the ick and they don’t try to play softball with my precious daughter.” > I watch my friends cry and lose sleep over Palestine or Black Lives Matter Because neither of those things require the slightest effort or challenge them in any way. Ask if they’d house a Palestinian refugee family or if they want to pay reparations to Black people.

guessing you weren't at no kings today. /s.

They tried to create a registry of autistic people last year, and are already making lists of socialist protesters. They're just going through all of the classic Nazi ones.

Ohio is trying to pass a law where there is a certificate of life once a heart beat is detected and a death certificate for fetuses that are lost. 

They are already tracking pregnant women.

most likely it'll be other queer folks after because "they're throwing away their lives being degenerates" or something until it goes to pregnant women or women who had abortions

There already starting to roll out rhetoric gays and lesbians and target gay marriage. They absolutely will not stop with trans people. “At first they came…” (The guy who wrote that ignored the persecution and imprisonment of queer people because he was a bigoted Catholic priest and didn’t see rounding *us* up as a problem)

I’m in Ohio. They’re trying to start a mandatory pregnancy registry here.

The same pastors that are screaming from the pulpit every Sunday about how LGBT folks are all a bunch of pedo demons are often the ones getting caught raping kids and possessing child p*** like every other day. The same goes for tons of local Republican politicians, often the most vehemently anti-lgbt ones are the ones getting busted for child sex abuses. This is not really that surprising considering that conservative Christian morality is not based on concepts like consent, it's based on hierarchy. This is often why these conservative Christians who get busted have gotten away with this stuff for a long time, because it just gets glossed over, because they're "one of the good ones." They're "good people who did a bad thing", vs LGBT folks who are considered inherently "bad people" and anything they do is filtered through that lens. I'm not saying that LGBT folks are not capable of doing bad shit, but they are also much more highly scrutinized to a point where even fairly benign things will be used to accuse them of being sex offenders. Even just their presence is often considered to have a corrupting effect on kids, hence the "just stay away from the kids" statements that have become so popular from the right. Compounding all of this is that the right wing media ecosystem is highly curated so that none of these reports of conservative Christian offenders are ever seen by them. Seriously go to any right wing forum and look, you will never see a story about a conservative Christian pastor or politician being busted or convicted for child sex abuse, or anything really. Unless it's Trump, who they defend. Meanwhile in the leftist spaces reports of LGBT folks who have been charged or convicted of a crime are highly discussed and visible. This is how a culture should be, how it stays healthy, by being self reflective. There is a huge disparity between right and left culture in this country, and it very much resembles an abusive relationship, where one side is never held accountable and the other gets punished for speaking out against it.

The government already tracks gun owners, just to point out. It doesn’t negate that this bill is openly fascist and absolutely a step towards genocide.

Weird time to be calling for gun control. What with the rise of fascism. Perhaps you should buy a gun and train with it instead. Again because of the rising fasicism.

Oh I know. It’s stupid and a violation of people’s civil liberties though.

There are number of databases hat the ATF runs and a mish mash of state databases, but nothing complete at the federal level
