Quick reminder to those that have forgotten. Orchestrated 'Camps' in North America existed before now. There are people that are still alive today, that remember. Japanese internment camps were common 70 years ago. @georgetakei.bsky.social has lived through it and posted about it. History repeats

1. Israel is committing a genocide. Let's recognize this without vilifying Jewish people. I know, radical.
2. The Gestapo now exists in the United States. History dear children, does repeat.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

💯 true.
If acknowledging this,causes you to hate an entire nation of people, you are continuing the cycle of hatred. You are unable to recognize, that people within every group are capable of hatred and repeating history. That doesn't mean,every person within that group shares a dangerous ideology.

The world’s leading genocide scholars’ association has passed a resolution saying that the legal criteria have been met to establish Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, its president says.
There was no immediate response from the Israeli foreign ministry.

Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, scholars' association says
Israel has strongly denied that its actions in Gaza amount to genocide and says they are justified as self defense. It is fighting a case at the International Court of Justice.

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is.
In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol.
And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.

People on this app get really angry every time I point out that social media manipulation is a real phenomenon that we are all stewing in and that’s having real world consequences and I’m sure part of that is engagement farmers who do that manipulation not liking people talking about it

I'm not on here enough and I have to admit, I'm struggling to remember this exists.
I need to try more to be on here because I have a lot to say about history repeating itself right now.
It's repeating itself at an accelerated rate, which even the accelerated rate, is being noted.

Hot take about humanity; let's rephrase a sentence we've heard time and time again.
'Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat'.
Nope.
Humanity does not care about past atrocities. We are doomed to repeat it, because we want to.

We all have a choice.
Even the military has a choice.
Yes, it's all very nuanced but at one point, do we shed the nuance and the social expectations and just recognize, we are bowing down to a dictatorship and it's dangerous.

You signed up for this long ago. Remember that.
It started with early education and this belief that you are the best and the most superior country in the world.

This may seem extreme but look at history, look at how whole societies have done this before.
MAGA will absolutely commit genocide and mass murder if allowed to or instructed to.

“250 million bees are now loose.” A tractor-trailer carrying 70,000 pounds of pollinator hives rolled over on a country road in Washington State on Friday, releasing an eye-popping number of honeybees, the authorities said.
