one more thing I need to get out of my chest: when many of us said "these ideologies kill", we came under fire for exaggerating. People thought that concentration camps and genocide were the only ways that the right wing could lead to mass loss of life. https://twitter.com/redlightvoices/status/1264462193891971072
I remember being very angry because toddlers were kept in cages and centrists were all over the place claiming "it wasn't the same as nazi policies" but the reality is that the technologies of death are adapted to the times when they are deployed
after normalizing the disposability of life through endless cycles of violence and austerity, letting people die during a pandemic, abandoning entire populations etc becomes a technology of death itself. You don't need a camp when the homeless can die in the street
