all these responses just tell me 'we're mad he didn't ask us for our permission and we would have of course said yes' when what people actually want you to say is 'it was illegal and I would have said no to strikes'

A lesson of WWII and the Nuremberg trials is that in fact there is little moral distinction between inspiring and promoting genocide and being the one to actually pull the trigger.

If you are too young to remember the Iraq War, you'll hear "no one protested" and "no one knew they were lying." Millions of people knew they were lying and protested. The press not only did not want a record of mass dissent; they did not want a record of mass knowledge of lies.

Boelter is apparently facing federal charges. Which opens to door to a presidential pardon if convicted (if not before). There should be a state prosecution here to make sure justice actually gets served (and so evidence re motive is not selectively presented to conform to predetermined narratives)

political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics

what people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. they support doing so snd are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise law abiding people. the problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!

Calling out the mask hypocrisy doesn’t land b/c their hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug: “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.” - F. Wilhoit
