    and we’ve had gestapo since shortly after 9/11.

    Ignorant shit right here

        I wish.

        But no, I’m someone who knows what the Gestapo was and actually did.

            Is this free association?

            Do you know what the Gestapo was? Abu Griahb is not analogous at all. Two completely different (both awful) things.

            Your photos were taken in Afghanistan.

            The Gestapo operated domestically

              You’re splitting hairs. The United States arreats people without warrants, holds them indefinitely without trial, tortures them, and kills them. It’s been doing so for over 20 years. I don’t care where they’re doing it. I care that they’re doing it. You can “no true gestapo” at me all day long but that’s close enough for me.

                It’s not splitting hairs at all, they are important distinctions.

                  Why? Are American lives more important than Afghani lives? Does torture suddenly become acceptable once you cross a national border? You know el Salvador isn’t part of the US either, right?

                    Are you incapable of good faith discussion? Who the fuck said anything about one thing being better or worse than the other? They’re just different, and the distinctions are important.
