It is within a nation's moral rights to imprison those who break its laws. For shootings check the stats yourself:http://washingtonpost.com/graphics/investigations/police-shootings-database/ …

Again, I already responded to this point. Police lie. Constantly. Caught often. Because it benefits them. Second: it is not moral to put children and immigrants in cages, no matter how you spin it. This is the same rationale used by the nazis to put gays in camps.

Opposing unjust laws, however, is moral. Or do you think Slavery was ok, because it was the law of the land?

Yes, of course not all laws are just, and it is moral to oppose unjust laws. I disagree with our immigration laws and oppose them. I just don't think they reach the scale of historical injustices.

Then how the hell can you argue it is a "moral duty". Enforcing an unjust law is immoral by definition, because injustice is definitionally immoral. You don't think its reached historical injustices yet, because you don't have the distance from the events we do for others.

What is going on in the US is historically atrocious.

To clarify, what I meant to say in my tweet is that relative to previous historical atrocities it is not as bad. Hopefully historians of the future will see it as an atrocity because life will be much much better for everyone in the future.

Awesome. With any luck, the death camp I get hauled off into will be not quite so bad as the one my great-aunts and -uncles got hauled off into.

For whatever small amount it may be worth, I very much hope you never end up in a death camp and I wish you nothing but the best

This kind of sentiment from someone happily supporting the intellectual underpinnings of death camps is completely useless I understand that you are willfully stupid about the idea that words and ideas have consequences and I don't care It doesn't make you a better person

It's basically the embodiment of why I said I don't care how people who are trying to kill me *feel.* I've had people who seem to genuinely like me, who said they cared about me, advocate for policies that I've straight up told them would kill me if enacted. It didn't matter.
