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.
Yeah! The thing is that fascism follows people when they flee it. When people escaped the Nazis to Austria, the Nazis followed them. Admittedly, it was for expansionist reasons, but:
My point is Canada might not be the safe harbor it purports to be.
Austria had a fascist dictatorial regime prior to the Anschluss. If people were moving there to escape fascism, they weren’t paying attention.
No such thing in my opinion. Every Democratic nation has certain elements of fascism embedded in it. It’s only a matter of what stage of fascism they’re in and whether you can hold the line or push back against it.
