This would make me go nuclear.
Kidnapping our kids?
You want a primal reaction? This will fast track it.
They do want that reaction. They're provoking normal people into violence to allow them to show an emergency and thus bring in the entire army
It's inevitable that it will happen. Whether someone wants it or not is irrelevant. If children are being kidnapped that's an appropriate response.
You stop them. With smoke if necessary.
Guess you should let then just take kids then /s
The thing is that lashing out to the lackeys doesn't change much. The empire doesn't care if they lose a bunch of stormtoopers, that is what they get hired for, it only cares if it loses a few emperors.
They're doing that anyway. Might as well make them suffer the violence that they are hoping for.
They don't need to do that, the army is already deployed. They can just make something up like they always do.
White Americans: Nah, it is only happening to brown kids.
Given the fact that that have been doing this to young, white, blond haired Canadian girls, it is only a matter time before the white kids of liberals and left leaning people get snatched. And probably some from conservatives who still have a microgram of sense and a drop of compassion left.
This is more about racial/ethnic scapegoating (one of the central tenets of fascism) than you'd think.
The ideas here is not that different from Hitler's they just haven't come right out and said it.
That isn't to say white people shouldn't be worried. Fascism is designed to rapidly centralize power by telling the majority they're part of the 'in' crowd while in reality they will also be put through the meat grinder so that in the end it is only the state that survives.
Basically we work our way back to a monarchy and future geberations will have to wait for the next magna carta.
it would be good if this was your reactive to anyone getting kidnapped.
