Gotta say, the US Army has made major progress.

50 years ago our weakness was really any STDs whatsoever.

Dude you have problems.

Trump literally told the proud boys to stand by, called neo-nazis "good people" and I just don't even get where you're going.

Politics isn't a sport, and the fuckers who didn't vote deserve the blame because people will be hurt.

You're the one who seems to be trying to make it a game.

You’ll never outrun the propaganda, particularly when you’re as much a vector for it as a victim of it.

Mother-fucker, I outran literal rednecks with bats, I lived there, what the fucking fuck?!

Are you serious? You genuinely believe it isn't that bad?

What do you think it's like?!!?!

There are hundreds of these investigations, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek_Chauvin was in 2021

Seriously, as a brown person, shut the fucking fuck up! You have no idea what living in this country under republicans is like, you can't begin to imagine it and you need to take your privileged dick out of your overprivileged ass and realize what many of us are going to have to face now.

Literally have the KKK reforming in anticipation of his inauguration, it's "good people on both sides" all over again.

Because my country is populated by worthless inbred trash that fall for something so simple as "Hey! Look over there!"

Not having a genocide of PoC at home wasn't one of them.

Jim Crow.

The south still has similar voting restrictions, it's just the supreme court stopped caring and said 'sure, whatevs'.

Listen, as a brown person in America, just be honest.

You caea about the genocide of brown people elsewhere, just not here.

It's OK, the vote is over, you don't have to deny it anymore, we get it, it's not like we're surprised or anything, it's basically America's legacy.

The shocking part?

We thought you at least cared about women, but you're literally no better than the racist sexist fascist neoconfederates that are proud to vote Trump.

Just be honest with your words, your actions already spoke the truth.

The script is nothing to write home about, largely adapted from the meeting transcripts.

The setting is fixed and fairly limited, painting a backdrop but only just, powerful men desiring comfort besieged by winter.

The acting is art beyond anything I've seen elsewhere, each character responds to the next, you see and are absorbed by the mundanity of the interactions, the basic dynamics of a corporate meeting, while the underlying impact screams in your brain.

They took the dry meeting notes (https://holocaust.umd.umich.edu/news/uploads/WanseeProtocols.pdf) and made a drama that shocks you with the ultimate banality of evil, exactly as imagined by Hannah Arendt.

This just came to me today, we all write our own narratives for what we do, and watching Heydrich, the ambitious patriot trying to clear the way for his country's deserved greatness, the bureaucrats trying to slither amongst the politics, the soldiers merely looking for leadership, and the diplomats and lawyers merely trying to keep the blood off their cuffs.

Meanwhile, Eichmann takes his orders and follows them with the obedience and competence of a well-disciplined soldier...

 

I'm sure this won't end up just like the GOP immigrant caravans of ms-13 and disappear right after the election.

 

I mean, sure, at this point why not?
