Are you preparing for a comming genocide?

[Pilgrim]

Well, the army coming to smash all your shop windows and taking you to concentration camps in November might have been your first clue.

And at that point it was too late. You cannot see it coming, you can see it happening.

Geatrix, I am unaware of threats made by the ruling party.

Don't you know that it was it a News24 article, JZ and JM were in a discussion about how to execute every single white person in this country.

Wow, your an idiot!

Judging from the OP's history he is more center left,imo, and I was quite surprised to see such a thread by him. It seems people can't even ask a valid question without attracting crazies shouting right-wing. Please point out anything right-wing in the OP ?

No need to insult the guy. We all know this OP is a what leftist, but this thread is more in the mold of the forum's right wing. I'm sure the OP foresaw this which is why he asked that the racists not be their usual reactionary self. But that was naive of him.

A bit late then hey?

Sure. I'm not trying to create a simile.

I'm asking what would convince you Fudzy, that a genocide is about to occur.

I said that if you can't picture is from your own POV(which most of you apparently can't) then pretend you where a Jew in Germany in 1938. What things specific events would have convinced you that you where in trouble?

Well that's why I asked about the simile. What were the warning signs for the Jews in 1938? And how do they apply here?

Darn it! I missed it as usual. Does news24 broadcast directly into the heads of people who believe in this impending genocide? I should start a church, there's an opportunity here.

NO

They can't afford to commit genocide, even if they wanted to.

IMHO the signs are :

* Racist statements by leaders of the ruling party
* Members of the ruling party ignoring the rule of law
* Excessive security/intelligence emphasis in a country not at war
* Media suppression
* Military/paramilitary activity

All of these were present in places like Germany and Serbia.

And yet its the Leftists going bat**** crazy in here...

I don't care what the signs where and how they apply here.
I want to know what YOU think are signs that genocide(in whatever country) is about to occur.

You have just described life under apartheid. Did you go committing genocide then? ... and take into context all the things you listed were 100 times worse than they are now.

 

[TJ99]

Actually, no. The actual genocide, as in mass killings only started much later, when the war started going badly for Germany. But the Kristallnacht was definitely a clear indicator. Point is there was a clear indication then, but something similar hasn't happened here yet.

I thought you wanted to know if we are PREPARING for one... isn't that what the subject line states?

I quote "Are you preparing for a comming genocide? "

Cool, thanks for the answer.

Point is there was a clear indication then, but something similar hasn't happened here yet.

So what would you view as a clear indication?

According to the rest of the world? Might aswell have, history would have been kinder.

Yeah, don't judge a thread by its title. Maybe read the OP as well.

I chose the title to get more eyeballs. Apparently it was a mistake.

I've given it, a couple of posts back.

I was just intrigued on what your simile was based.

 

[Kornhub]

Not preparing for anything but prob will move to Mauritius.
