Koolblue13 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 It wasn't that long ago, that it did happen in America. We here plenty of rhetoric about Walls or registering and people being compared to Hitler. So, what would have to happen in America, before you personally stood up, for what you believe to be actual human rights violations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoodBits Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Selfish question: am I, a liberal white male, being targeted for detainment in President Trump's internment camps? Or are they reserved for Muslims and Mexicans? I guess to answer to the question, I would probably reserve armed resistance for such time when I was directly be persecuted. Not because I don't care, but because I've got a kid and I doubt I'd be willing to let him grow up without a dad for that cause. I would be much more likely to try to escape with my family to Canada if **** got crazy here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elessar78 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. -Edmund Burke I think armed resistance is a far far cry. A strong, persistent voice for justice and sanity is a good start. No. hashtags and likes on FB do not count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincoln shoulda let the confederacy go. First they came for the gays, I did nothing and they took them away. Then they came for the blacks, I did nothing and they took them away. Then they came for twa, I did nothing they took him away. Then they came for me and when I looked for help, they had already taken everyone else away.

twa Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 There is a good demonstration of what's wrong I certainly think so, but if ya don't wanna get bogged down in that we can try is the RFRA a human right? Is freedom of association? Lincoln shoulda let the confederacy go. We would probably be less at risk of federal intervention and detention if we had.

Riggo-toni Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I would like to believe that the military brass in our country would not allow another internment or anything like another Trail of Tears. Unfortunately, I think they likely would be compliant if ordered to perform another Operation Wetback. If anything like a repeat of Internment came into effect for Muslim citizens, I would like to think I would protest immediately and often, and I have never been involved in a protest before.

Springfield Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Well, we already have militarized police... Change will come in the guise of safety. If you don't like it then you're unamerican. How to fight it? Stop idolizing the military as something to look up to. Realize that military action both domestically and abroad should be the very last resort, not the first.

PCS Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Selfish question: am I, a liberal white male, being targeted for detainment in President Trump's internment camps? Or are they reserved for Muslims and Mexicans? Well right now,as long as President Obama is in office,you're targeted. According to the conspiracy theorists,(Sovereign citizens love this one),he's going disarm the populace,declare martial law,and put all those law abiding,good christian folks into Fema camps,(they're already prepared in places like old WalMarts and such). Then he'll bring in the rest of his Muslim friends,(many already being trained at secret camps in the U.S.),and take over the country. No really. (I've got a few folks I keep around on social media who believe this stuff to one degree or another. Good for a laugh). Oh and Xameil. Ease off. You're teetering on the edge of a rules violation or 2 here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
