so that attention can lead to rallying support + action
as it has with w/some domestic injustice
1 CHINA CONCENTRATION CAMPS
+
2 TALK OF U.S “CIVIL WAR”

2 TALK OF U.S “CIVIL WAR”
2/ Topic 1: China concentration camps
I quickly imagined what it was like in 1933
+ searched for resource of what US 🗞📰 might have been reporting on what the rising authoritarian power in Germany doing opening “re-education camps”…
Thankfully it exists…

3/ KEEP YOUR 👀 on the progression of the #’s in this 🧵
And why “Never Again”—-must mean NEVER AGAIN
1933“in a reconcentration camp at Dachau, Bavaria a NYT correspondent finds 2,000 Germans being “educated” at hard labor for long hrs simply for idle words of ruling powers…”

4/ From 2,000 prisoners—the #’ss rise…
“18,000 Germans Held Imprisoned” Concentration Camps for Political “Unfit” In All Parts of Country
“18,000 imprisoned by Nazi, Say to Make Fit Citizens”
“18,000 Germans Held Imprisoned” Concentration Camps for Political “Unfit” In All Parts of Country
“18,000 imprisoned by Nazi, Say to Make Fit Citizens”
5/ From 18,000 the headlines rise—
“80,000 in Big Prison Camps in Germany, Socialists Reveal—Citizens Held Merely Because They Oppose Nazi Regime”
“80,000 in Big Prison Camps in Germany, Socialists Reveal—Citizens Held Merely Because They Oppose Nazi Regime”
6/ The # of camps grows
“At Least Five Camps Hold Nazi’s Prisoners—Hitlerites keep total number and their population secret—one said to accomodate 5,000–additional ones planned”
“At Least Five Camps Hold Nazi’s Prisoners—Hitlerites keep total number and their population secret—one said to accomodate 5,000–additional ones planned”
7/ Within a few years—the Nazis emboldended, militarized and unchallenged are declaring horrifically with no fear—of mass murder…
8/ By 1942, after 9 years from when the first “re-education” camps opened in Dachau—over 700,00 gassed to death and then over 1,000,000 jews are known to be slain in european slaughterhouses.
From 2,000 political protestors—to millions in systematic genocide.

10/ Current US financial + economic interests from Hollywood to the NBA stay silent for fear China will retaliate against us standing for the moral standards the Greatest Generation from WWII to the present fought + died for

12/ TOPIC 2 -
Socializing something undesirable that is shocking and IMPROBABLE—paradoxically makes its occurence more PROBABLE
as preventing the occurence depends on us not being desensitized to it but shocked by it
There is observably heightened talk of US “civil war”…

14/ Add to this—falling stock markets which risk creating further fissures + fault dividing fault lines (especially of recently invested retail investors) along rich/poor; black/white; left/right tribal lines…
15/
Some of the tribal uncivility + disunion
perhaps 90-95% is organic.
Some of it is fomented by foreign foes (Russia, Iran, China) thru information operations with bots + fake accounts that stoke fears, provoke fights + fuel the flames
So what?

16/ The likelihood of actual “civil war” is VERY IMPROBABLE—even as Trump runs again (unless criminal charges tie him up) and left + right hatred reaches new heights
something else is more likely…
something else is more likely…
17/ That something else is more akin to northern ireland “The Troubles”—a low-level long-lasting wave of domestic violence + domestic terrorism assaniations of judges, local violence, kidnappings, drivethrus of public gatherings like Charlottesvile, basically…
18/ basically sensationalsit domestic conflagrations,
archipelagos of anarchy (with risk they coalesce or act in concert)
that create economic risks—if and as fear amongst the public grows for patronizing certain businesses
(with threats of violence)
