State media only? That’s never turned out well. Ever.

You are correct, handmade alt text. It is regrettable that @DangerTrain does not care about accessibility.

I had not known about that before you mentioned it. Just read a little about her. Wow. Just wow.

It is not in bad taste to point out that the suspension of due process and relocation of populations was and is part and parcel of both the holocaust and what is being done right now. It is vile, uncomfortable, and bad that it is happening, but pointing out it is happening is not in bad taste.

Comparing people imprisoned and killed with no due process or human rights to other people being imprisoned and likely soon killed with no human rights is actually quite apt; the difference is where one is in the timeline.

Being being wrongly incarcerated and wrongly killed is, in fact very similar to being being wrongly incarcerated and wrongly killed.

"The jail isn’t full of innocent people." Without due process, you have zero way to know that.

"...once the government gets civilians to accept concentration camps and skipping due process, from there the groundwork is laid for the killings of anyone..." and there is the crux.

Due process remains a good idea. Without it, both you and I can be next.

I know, right? He only told everyone, loudly, again and again, that he'd do exactly this (and worse).

Without any due process we have no way to accurately say they are criminals. Also, the people in the top photo were _declared_ criminals for simply existing. Due process and fair laws matter to everyone (even if you personally don't care about anyone else's suffering) because you do not know what side of things you and yours will end up on.

Human written alt text. Alt text is something people use to help people who cannot look at images understand what is there.

So you’re no just wrong, you’re emphatically wrong. The stock image was made by the Canva certified design agency https://zamora.design

You can triple down with zero support for your wrong conjecture, but why would you do that? Please stop, I’m embarrassed for you.

Maybe you can look inward to re-adjust your judgements.

A self-coup (also called an autocoup, autogolpe or coup from the top) is a coup d'état in which the political leader who came to power through legal means, expands or stays in power through illegal means through the actions of themselves and/or supporters.

Yes, you are so right: soft power is cheaper, more effective and less violent than military power.

Yes, more that one motive for musk's crimes.
