Action shot of a Sumatran tiger (orange and white with black stripes) crouched low to the ground with one forepaw up, about to catch a ball of raw looking meat. The tiger's ears are pointing to the side, their mouth is open, and their eyes are crossed focusing on the meatball as it soars towards their mouth. Action shot of a Sumatran tiger (orange and white with black stripes). The tiger is sitting on their haunches, one forepaw in the air. Their face is pointed straight up towards a meatball in the air above them. Action shot of a Sumatran tiger (orange and white with black stripes) prowling across a large rock, eyes intently looking upward, presumably in anticipation of another meatball thrown to them.

Gahtdamn. What an essay
Screenshot from the linked/quoted essay. Screenshot reads: "Rationalization of the New Left is often taken to be “unserious,” but it is unserious to object to it on purely moral grounds with one hand while waving away the unfathomable scale of American violence with the other. One may of course oppose oneself to bloodshed in all cases. But it is not serious to swim in a sea of blood and faint at the addition of another drop.

If you are reading this, sweaty with the worry that I am “normalizing” or “justifying” political violence, consider that I am only asking why you find so many forms of political violence so normal, so justifiable, so adequately met with well, it’s a shame, of course, while the specter of old radicals looms like a nightmare. Sometimes you must stand athwart history, yelling Are you fucking serious? Is it only that you get used to that stench of American life after a while? Is it worth it?"

Pic of a polaroid taken during a friend's NYE 1999 sleepover. Young me (I was 11) and 4 friends are all wrapped up in our sleeping bags. One girl has a stuffed animal dog in her lap. I have a black sleeping bag & black hair pulled back in a ponytail so it kind of looks like my face is just floating in the air. On the bottom of the polaroid I wrote "[names of friends] & I at [host friend's name]'s New Year's party, 1999/200" (yes I apparently forgot the third zero when I wrote it lol). I marked out my friend's faces and their names for posting this.

Words by @drstaceypatton.bsky.social
Screenshots of a Facebook post by Stacey Patton. 

I wish folks would stop comparing America to Nazi Germany. That's a lazy-ass, evasive argument.

When folks make this argument, what they are doing is framing evil as something that's foreign, exceptional, and imported rather than something indigenous, cultivated, home grown, and structurally American. And so, Nazism becomes the ultimate benchmark of horror, and everything else is measured against it.

So by this logic, unless the U.S. is building gas chambers and death camps with the same iconography, its violence is somehow lesser, different, or not yet "that bad." This allows Americans to remain in a perpetual state of "not quite Nazi."

It also erases the fact that many of the ideas the Nazis implemented were learned from, inspired by, or legitimized through American practices. Because the ideological and material roots of what the Nazis built were already visible in the United States.

When Germany constructed its racial state, its camps, its laws of blood and purity, its systems of mass detention and legal disappearance, it was not inventing these logics from scratch. Americaninventing these logics from scratch. American eugenics laws, Jim Crow segregation, lynching culture, forced sterilization, Indigenous removal, and racialized citizenship regimes were openly studied, cited, and admired by Nazi legal theorists and racial scientists. The U.S. was the world's most successful large-scale experiment in racial hierarchy enforced by law and violence. Germany learned from it.

When folks say "this is becoming Nazi Germany," they invert the historical flow of influence and turn the U.S. into a potential victim of fascism rather than one of its early laboratories. That narrative recenters white innocence and treats authoritarianism as an infection from Europe instead of a homegrown product of settler colonialism, slavery, and racial capitalism.

So if ordinary Germans in the 1930s and 40s had looked honestly at what was happening around them with the gas chambers, killing fields, racial laws, child separations, and human beings reduced to property and numbers, they could have easily pointed across the Atlantic and yelled: Americans! KKK! White supremacy! This is the same architecture of domination, just industrialized and accelerated.

The Klan had already perfected mass spectacle terror. The U.S. had already normalized racial cleansing, biological determinism, legal non-personhood, and the idea that entire populations could be managed, removed, sterilized, imprisoned, or killed for theremoved, sterilized, imprisoned, or killed for the health of the nation. Germany did not leap into barbarism. It systematized a colonial and racial logic that had been running for centuries, with America as one of its most advanced models.

That's why the Nazi comparison is so damn backwards. It casts the U.S. as a potential future version of Germany, when historically Germany was, in part, a student of America's racial order. The lineage runs from European colonialism to American slavery and Indigenous genocide to Nazi racial law and not the other way around.

The Nazi comparison also allows people, especially white liberals, to experience moral outrage without confronting their own inheritance. Nazis are safely monstrous. They are "other." They let Americans locate evil in goose-stepping uniforms and foreign accents instead of in sheriffs, school boards, immigration courts, zoning laws, policing, family separation, child cages, surveillance, and bureaucratic cruelty with polite paperwork and legal language.

ICE agents are not Nazis. They do not need to be. They are operating within a long, continuous American tradition of slave patrols, Indian removal, convict leasing, segregation, COINTELPRO, and mass incarceration. Call them what they are, which are products of an unbroken system of racial control.products of an unbroken system of racial control.

What we are witnessing is not the collapse of American democracy into something alien and evil, it is the tightening of all the evil-ass fucked up logics that have always been here. Right here!

Filed 01/24/26

Page 4 of 5

[highlighted section] 13. The agents pulled the man on the ground. I didn't see him touch any of them-he wasn't even turned toward them. It didn't look like he was trying to resist, just trying to help the woman up. I didn't see him with a gun. They threw him to the ground. Four or five agents had him on the ground and they just started shooting him. They shot him so many times. [end highlighted section]

14.1 don't know why they shot him. He was only helping. I was five feet from him and they just shot him.

15. The video I recorded of what happened accurately depicts the events leading up to the agents shooting him and several minutes afterwards. The video is attached as Exhibit 1.

[highlighted section] 16. I have read the statement from DHS about what happened and it is wrong. The man did not approach the agents with a gun. He approached them with a camera. He was just trying to help a woman get up and they took him to the ground.

17.1 feel afraid. Only hours have passed since they shot a man right in front me and I don't feel like I can go home because I heard agents were looking for me. I don't know what the agents will do when they find me. I do know that they're not telling the truth about what happened. I've heard that other witnesses might have been arrested and taken to the Whipple Building. [end highlighted section]

18. I am disgusted and gutted at how they are treating my neighbors and my state. I keep alternating between crying and feeling determined it is important to remember the value of documenting injustice. We show up for the people who need us to bear

"Sloppy" Welp. At least I've been warned
