It just seems so obvious doesn't it? I had such high hopes for Labour when they were voted in, but their apparent determination to be as cruel as their predecessors (and those who hope to succeed them) is so disappointing.

The main issue facing any UK government isn't actually the number of people seeking asylum, in the grand scheme, proportionally, we aren't talking about huge figures, especially when compared per capita to countries such as France, but the constant images we see in the media. 1/

The policy of the US under Trump can be fairly summarised in three impulses. To be cruel to those they can be cruel. To intimidate those whom they can intimidate. And to gain leverage in respect of those they want to manipulate. Almost everything comes down to one or more of these impulses.

What's the saying? Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it, or words to that effect? It feels like the world is coming to a real crossroads, which could easily lead to a very dark place.

Auschwitz Memorial@auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 2y ago

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

It feels like his behaviour is being treated as if it's completely normal by a lot of the news outlets. Just a little raised eyebrow here and there, but no real condemnation. Scary times ahead.

Not appreciating the #r4today chuckling tone about Trump. A ‘What is he like?’ feel to it. When what he’s like is a convicted felon who’s pardoned insurrectionists, plans to leave the WHO and the Paris Climate Accord and is threatening mass deportations. Nothing remotely amusing about any of that.
