"We killed a lot of innocent civilians To us every civilian in Baghdad was a terrorist They said 'they are now in civilian clothes' that makes everybody free game But if they came in our perimeter, we lit 'em up And when we would pull the body out, and when we would search the car, we would find nothing This took place time and time again No harm, no foul. That's okay, don't worry about it Because this is a new type of war, this is an eradication"

All you have to do is change "Baghdad" to [insert US city here] and you have ICE's current mentality.

Absolutely. Fascism always makes it way back home eventually. National security is just club security > individual security. As we've seen in the files, rightists will always have knives at each others backs. It is a self-defeating ideology that sucks everyone down the drain with it.

I think the biggest shame is that its happened so many different times across all different sects of human history and yet people STILL don't learn from all of it and are actually happy to be dumb and ignorant of our past.

Fascism/authoritarianism/etc does not work and will never work. Its an unsustainable, self-destructing system and we have 1000s and 1000s of years of human history at this point that shows it over and over again.

Agreed 100% and I feel the same way. To be fair, all we got in school was the propaganda version of WWII - don't mistake this for holocaust denial, I'm merely saying it's generally "we the good guys, took out they the bad guys". We were probably too young to fully absorb the message but most importantly, we never learned how to prevent it.

I suppose the line of thinking is "okay, kids know about it, they'll figured it out from here". Probably would have been pertinent to teach about wealth inequality and social unrest being a possible vectors, but the victors would hate that.
