ustwo:

re. your post just above this one (separated now by one)

it would be if that were the comparison.
but it wasnt.

the comparison was between your post and the logic of the german right of the 1930s. genocide didnt just happen out of nowhere--it followed from a particular nationalist ideology, applied in an extreme manner. had there been no ideology, there would have been no consent and had there been no consent there would have been no genocide. folk like to forget that the nzi party was actually quite popular before it wasnt, and that its politics had a broad appeal. it worked by negative and positive definitions of the nation, of the body politics and by equating "purity" and wellbeing.

of course, this appeal was lost on many leftist, most of whom found themselves on extended holiday in places like buchenwald or in exile---rounded up on the order of what you suggest for the "greenpeave hooligans" and justified on more or less the same rhetorical grounds.

then you have the Outsiders who Invade and Pollute--the jews in the 1930s, "illegal immigrants" now.

i am just pointing out the parallels.
but i am sure that you did not intend them.
