    The USA has much different motivations than Hitler.

    The USA (by this I mean those who control our government financially, Trump is a goon) doesn’t want to wipe out it’s own population. There’s no desire for “breathing room”, there’s a massive amount of comparatively empty land.

    You’re expendable, but unless you make things expensive for someone, the USA is fine with you being a consumer and drone. You are still generating wealth for the system, and there’s no reason to spend the money to load you into a train. You generate more wealth than you consume.

    They don’t care enough to bother killing you, you’re not a threat to them. (by “you” I mean the average American voter). Democrats or Republicans are consumers only, they’re not capable of changing the political system in any way.

    It’s a massive “political playpen” without an option to threaten Amazon.

    If you’re right, they’ll immediately start loading thousands of people like you and me into trains after they “seize power”. If I’m right, the Democrats will “win” a narrow majority and immediately call a recess. WOW THAT WAS CLOSE OKAY RECESS

      Yeah it’s people like me with cystic fibrosis and post lung transplant who are expensive to keep alive and use Medicare that they want dead

      Something, something, something, racial purity.

      Something, something, something, the Klan.

        Yeah but those are, weirdly, small fry in this game. Those sorts of groups aren’t heads of insurance pools or think tanks, those are just pondscum clubs in neighborhoods. They do have hands in things, but I feel like they’re small hands that are easy to manipulate. Kkk and the like, specifically. As prevalent as they are, racists are super low brow losers, cranky about being in small shitty ponds.

      I wonder if there’s really a “they” or if it’s just the abstract ideas and human behaviors that are in charge.

      I know there’s definitely stringpullers and council meetings and stuff, but even they answer to certain powers. I wonder who’s really at the top.
