  • Many English speakers just use Holocaust to refer to the entire mass industrialized extermination of people, despite it originally being a Jewish word; as that’s how it’s generally presented in media. Hence my comment to remind people the other ~7 million known victims weren’t Jewish. But all of this is good info for those that maybe aren’t up to date on the nearly century old genocide.

    As to your last point, it just means we can’t let the fascists live this time. none slightly close to supporting them, anyone in a logistics role, anyone happily voting for them. They can’t be reducated, they can’t be returned to normal society, it’s us or them.

    As always, the first targeted will be the core supporters of the movement the coopted, then anyone that seems left wing, then the lgbtq, the probably Latine/native, then probably black Americans.

    The Holocaust took many victims, while Jews lost the most, they weren’t the first victims nor the majority of victims.





  • A) eastern Oregon all combined has about the GDP of Portland. If it were it’s own state, it’d be among the poorest and require tens of billions of federal funds to operate at all. If it joined Idaho, Idaho would actually become less productive per capita while the remaining Oregon becomes more productive.

    B) if independent it would give two solid red senate seats

    C) most of its water comes from the Cascades, which would absolutely vote to remain in western Oregon, meaning they’d forever be dependent on a blue state, and would be taking advantage of blue states investment into water management while contributing nothing.

    D) this move, if allowed at the federal level, would encourage other balkanization of states, creating mass confusion among businesses, generating billions in new costs to handle the bureaucratic strain, and generally make doing anything positive with taxes impossible for decades. That’s without dealing with the massive number of lawsuits, e.g. decades long contracts with states that Might be invalidated with the new state that needs to be settled.
