    Remember this. We can not go back to “normal” with out these people experincing consequences.

    We’ve seen the results that come from letting the foot soldiers get away with “just following orders”. First the confederacy being let off without addressing the problems. Then the Nazis only having the people that couldn’t be used for political purposes punished. All that shit in history books about how “most people didnt know about the camps” are lies to passify the people from seeking retribution against a country that tried to exterminate a group of people from existence. Same as today, the only way you can be “unaware” of what is happening at this point is willful ignorance.

      The problem is that humans are motivated to avoid punishing other humans. If a thief gets his hand cut off, what’s to stop your hands from getting cut off? If we start prosecuting government employees, how could the rest of them even do their jobs knowing they will be held accountable for their actions?

      Look at what happened to the nazis after WWII. We took their scientists and gave them fucking careers. We took their soldiers and welcomed them to emigrate. They took their politics and policies from us, so we already had that here.

      How can we punish nazis when nazis are Americans?

    looks like the only thing that can fix that will be an uprising. just a hint for the ppl in the US: it helps to get the military on your side beforehand.

      At this point billionaire benefactors are having to come in and pay the military. It shouldn’t be too much longer now.
