Reminder that "remigration" is a far-right policy, and one of the specific things that got the AfD in Germany into trouble (the party is on course to be banned for violating the constitutional ban on Nazism).

@cstross the difference being that the AfD does not have near unchecked power.
@cstross if we devoted half the money we spend deporting people, policing the border, and patching capitalism (rental subsidies, etc) towards constructing new residential buildings, rent would probably be $200 per month.
Communities should own their homes. Ban rent. Build apartments. Focus on free generational stewardship models.
@cstross - I cannot imagine ICE officers walking around with Bazookas to Deport people. Trumphony is Falling off the cliff. The funding for ICE came from NOAA and Firing its employees.
@cstross I love the "failing Schools, collapsing Hospitals" bit when he's the one cutting funding for education and already absurdly overpriced medical care. like what's going to cause schools to fail? Enrique from Venezuela or massive budget cuts and gutting of federal agencies?
@cstross Trump admitted he hates democrats to this will only be expanded
2025: "The Trump Administration Wants to Create an ‘Office of Remigration’ – 'Remigration'—a far-right European plan to expel minorities and immigrants from Western nations—may soon have a dedicated office following a Trump administration reorganization of the State Department." https://www.wired.com/story/trump-office-remigration-state-department-europe-far-right/
1938: "The Central Agency for Jewish Emigration in Vienna [was] established in August 1938 [under Adolf Eichmann] to accelerate the forced emigration of the Austrian Jews and (starting in October 1939) to organize and carry out their deportation.... The organization and effectiveness of the Vienna 'Central Agency'... quickly became a model example within the SS for the establishment of the German "Reich Central Agency for Jewish Emigration'... in Berlin." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Agency_for_Jewish_Emigration_in_Vienna

@cstross @briankrebs It would be on course, if the conservatives (CDU/CSU) didn’t block it. As it stands, they have zero interest, in going forward with asking the constitutional court to start the process. And without their votes, there’s no majority required for going forward.
@cstross it should also be banning investment and profit in American companies.

@cstross @continuation In Sweden, “remigration” has been a word for a while now. You can even apply for money to “remigrate”. This is the Swedish nazi party’s policy, and the government serves at their pleasure right now.
But last week, a paper published a story on the migration(!) minister’s son being an active nazi for the past year. So, we apparently have a more nazi government that we thought.
@ahltorp @cstross @continuation
Migrants are people who take the goats to the high pastures in the summer, and bring them down in the winter.
Immigrants are people who move somewhere else, and live there. The far right like to use "migrants" to suggest there is nothing bad about sending immigrants back.
Remigration, on the other hand, is a _weird_ name... maybe people who keep coming down the mountain, but we send them back up?
Of course that also means they freeze to death in the winter.
@cstross Donald couldn't string together this much coherent thought in a month of Sundays. Who's impersonating the president (and doing such a poor job of it, if you ask me)?
@cstross Not the first nor the last time Donald borrows from bona-fide nazis.
Hitler himself is still a favourite of king Donald the First.

@cstross LoL didn't they just put the wreaking ball to the hospitals and create a less functional social system by robbing the poor and giving to the rich?
Also I would be surprised if they increased funding for education considering what they are doing to the universities.
Then again USA are not going to become a third world country under Trump...
A lot of those are actually functional countries some are even democracies.
@cstross I don't think they'll ban the AfD. It would be great if they did (please ban the fascists!), but Merz's party would much rather embrace them. They're just not saying it all too openly yet.
@cstross Best pun:
"not let America become a third world country."
"not let America become a third world country."
It already has been for decades now.
Highest Youth Mortal Rate of all countries officially considered "Western"
- the only country in the world where you have to discuss whether teachers should be armed
- fraud healthcare system
- level of corruption compared to Haiti
- Gerrymandering puts some U.S. states on the same democracy level as e.g. Cuba or Morocco.
- labor law on a ridiculous level, unless you're loaded.

@cstross remigration is what brought Trump into Power.
@cstross The obvious lies in that tweet are also a nazi staple.
@cstross "crime, failing schools, collapsing hospitals, and total social dysfunction". So... the status quo? 😑
@cstross Nah, there isn’t enough politicians with balls over here to actually initiate the banning procedure. And the conservatives need the Nazis going forward to get voting majority for their back-assed politics.
@anotherdaniel Sssh, don't tell the Americans!
@cstross This time around, they are actually ahead of us by a few years. Dunno which emoji to put here, though...
