"You cannot follow both Christ and the cruelty of kings. A leader who mocks the weak, exalts himself and preys on the innocent is not sent by god. He is sent to test you. And many are failing."

Eurotrash. By Christian Kracht; trans. by Daniel Bowles.
You are a late middle aged Swiss/German man, figuring out to do with his unloving, moderately senile but terrifically rich mother; your family wealth is in part due to a Nazi past, so you grapple with all this by taking her on a road trip.

said without any hint of irony ...
"Thomas Horman, the acting ICE director, told Tucker Carlson that he objects to being compared to Nazis because ICE is 'SIMPLY FOLLOWING ORDERS'."

Best comment of the day:
"Trump was upset that the funeral ceremony was not all about HIM.
So was everyone else."

"Capturing a person against their will without due process is called KIDNAPPING.
Transporting them to another country without due process is called HUMAN TRAFFICKING.
A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of NO CRIME is called a CONCENTRATION CAMP."
Today In Labor History April 8, 1943: The Nazis executed Otto and Elise Hampel for making anti-Nazi postcards and leaving them in public places. Hans Fallada wrote about them in his 1947 novel, Every Man Dies Alone (Alone in Berlin in the UK). The story was filmed in 2016 as Alone in Berlin.

I do see hope in the demonstrations in the USA.
" #VoteBlue No Matter What" was _never_ going to be enough to stop fascism in the country. Not that the Democrats aren't infinitely preferable to the Republicans right now, but they are too invested in the shitty status quo to get serious about fighting fascism, and they have too many billionaire donors shaping their policy decisions.
But mass protests in the streets _will_ make a lot of people who are nominally Trump supporters or "neutral" think twice. These are bad for business, and make Trump supporters think twice how far they want to go with their support.
The Third Reich did _not_ have such mass protests during its early days, so maybe Americans can still turn this around.

"NRA accidentally forgets to rise up against tyrannical government.
An embarrassed National Rifle Association says it totally forgot to do the one thing it has been saying for years it is solely there to do."
