This would be a monumental step towards committing genocide. If you can strip citizenship for z, y, or z reasons, you can strip citizenship for a, b, or c reasons too. Then, you take those “noncitizens” and put them in a camp. Then you evolve your “solution” to the Jewish Non-citizen Question into a FINAL Solution.

In fact, this could ammount to a crime against humanity under the Rome Statute’s prohibition against certain types of deportation. Specifically, Article 7(1)(d)'s prohibition on deportation is defind in (2)(d), which reads:

Deportation or forcible transfer of population" means forced displacement of the persons concerned by expulsion or other coercive acts from the area in which they are lawfully present, without grounds permitted under international law.

Nazis did this exact thing to the German jews. Admittedly, the United States didn’t ratify the Rome statute, but it did sign it in 2000. I guess the Nazi cancer has been here a while. No time like the present to use a blade.

    Americans are still not flooding the streets…

    Debt slavery makes that really hard.

      honestly, I get that… but you know it’s only going to get worse, right?

      “now” it’s hard to protest, “tomorrow” it will actually be impossible

        Tell that to yourself with hungry kids in front of you. If we didn’t have dependants, it would be easier.

      …and the weather. Canada in general has the same weather as the least desirable US states. There’s a reason the US didn’t take the whole shebang when fulfilling their manifesto destiny.

      I understand, but the rest of the world’s patience grows thin. You are actively destroying environmental protections for our planet and fucking up all of our economies. Meeting up every few months on a Saturday is nothing. Boycott American products, stop using your credit cards. Debt slavery is irrelevant when they snatch community members and murder them in the street. When is enough? No more complaining, most democratic states would have taken to the streets full time by this point. America is lazy and it shows. *in your defense your thugs are incredibly well armed and undertrained so I understand the fear. We aren’t organizing much better against fascism in Canada though 😒
