    The difference between them justifies different treatment. One is a Group of immigrants that is within your jurisdiction and even your custody and only wants to work. The other is a Terrorist that wants to kill people and is at roughly the opposite point on the globe, far away from your jurisdiction and custody. They don’t need to be treated the same.

    Also by not killing him they would have disregarded the right to live of his potential victims.





  • I see it another way.

    By the time Auschwitz happened it was already way too late to oppse the Nazi Regime. It was too late to save lifes and prevent tragedy. But at Dachau it wasn’t.

    It also makes it seem like this (Donalds Dachau) is the endgame. Like this is the worst they will do. When they will in fact do much worse.

    By calling it an Auschwitz, I feel we’re kind of throwing a towel and telling ourselves that the MAGA-Regime is already too powerful. It isn’t. They’re only just starting, they can still be stopped. It also makes it seem like this is the height of their tyranny, which it isn’t. Noone should stay at home thinking “well, it isn’t that bad” but instead go to the streets thinking “it mustn’t get worse”

    Also we all know that Dachau isn’t “harmless” in any way, and my comment should be pretty clear that it was awful. Comparing it to dachau isn’t normalizing it, it isn’t disrespectful, because it’s what gets closest to it. On the other hands it can be seen as disrespectful to all those who suffered and even perished in Birkenau to be compared to “Donalds Dachau”.

    Lastly let me assure you that I am NOT, as implied in your comment, defending the current US-Regime nor normalizing Dachau.








  • yeah, if only we lived in an age where medication made it possible for people with medical problems to treat them and live a normal life. But alas, that’s not our fate. So sad.

    maybe if you as a society started actually being healthy and stopped eating until your heart has to pump with the power of a dozen hydraulic pumps just to circulate your blood we could actually be finding treatments for people that have such medical issues and help them. Instead of telling ourselves that comforting people who have to use pythagoras’ formula to calculate where their legs are because they can’t look down anymore somehow helps those with diseases, we could actually find cures for them.

    And yes, they do impact me. They unnecessarily clog up hospitals taking up vital resources and costing a lot of money, more than smokers (fun fact: Thanks to the high taxes on cigarettes nad their early deaths, smokers are cheaper on the health service than even normal people). Infrastructure also suffers as it needs to be designed around fat people. And we’ve all been unable to sit on a bus while a fat person takes up an entire row for themselves.

    Don’t lie to yourself. Obesity is a problem and it’s manmade. Deep down you know this. If liberalism means that a person is allowed to overeat as much as they want with no regard for how they’re burdening society and those around them, then it also means that I’m allowed to make fun of you for being fat with no regard for how I’m “burdening” them.
