WHOA... MTV compares the holocaust to American Police State. No joke.

[DarkLaw]

MTV is NOT an ally.

They merely created this for the Holocaust Remembrance Week.

At first, I posted it as a MySpace bulletin and thought SOMEone at MTV finally
understood that we live under a tyrannical Govt.

But then I realized...no. It's just a commercial to remind people
that Hitler burned Jews. Nothing more, nothing less.

^ I don't think it's that simple. They're probably trying to relate the Holocaust to modern affairs so I don't know.

 

[Cinderella]

wow i just pooped myself....its very scary to think that, that is a reality....and i can feel something like this happening sooner rather than later

.......go ahead label me a nut......

if that's all it was, there would have been no need for the comparison. plain and simple.

+1

This is a really good commercial drawing comparisons between then and now.

Come on! Push to the FRONT PAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ThePieSwindler]

why is it horrible ?
it's spot on.

Really? Do tell exactly how it is "spot on". Give a few examples, perhaps? Comparing it to the holocaust is a diss to holocaust victims and is really out of proportion to the current situation - the VAST majority of Americans are really not in danger of being "detained". It does not justify the actions of the government by any means, and even one injustice is one too many, but this comparison is wanting nonetheless. Guantanamo is bad, but it is hardly an Auschwitz, and probably not as bad as the japanese internment camps that the great American Hero and God-President FDR set up during WWII.

I view the video as an example of what could happen (and has happened) with centralization of big government.

Be careful to trust MTV as a legitimate source of news and or Political expertise.

Call me someone skeptical of "pop" journalism.

They are not on RP's side. During the forum MTV gave all the candidates recently, RP got the toughest question (still nailed it) and the host was unfair to him. There were obvious Hillary and Obama plants in the audience too. Obvious like they were forgetting the words to their memorized questions.

No, i do not trust MTV.

I'd like it if everyone were skeptical of ALL journalism. Didn't anyone else in the world grow up with the adage: "don't believe everything you read?"

Pop-journalism has it's place as Rolling Stone, Playboy, Village Voice, and a few others have proven to be much more relevant and hard-hitting political forces than traditional magazines and newspapers.

Just like a few good blogs have better journalism than most newspapers.

the video didn't compare nowadays situation with the holocaust, it just warned that it can happen pretty much everywhere.
seeing that bush (or whoever follows him) already has the power to imprison you for nothing ...

sure the situation is different from then, i don't think anyone will try to "gas all muslims" but what about anti globalists, constitutionalists, truthers, anti war people. these are all groups that could have a rough time in the future, no i don't think those people will be gased/executed either. it's just a warning and i don't think its out of place.

you should watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjALf12PAWc if you can find the time.

The personal memoirs of Winston Churchill, Dwight Eisenhower, and Charles DeGaulle comprise 10 volumes (over one million words)--they were written between 1948 and 1959. Not a word is mentioned in ANY of the 10 volumes about any gassing of Jews or 6 million dead. You'd think if a third of the Jewish race had been exterminated one of them would've mentioned it, particularly Churchill who was very pro-Zionist.

Jews were interned in German-occupied Europe during the war just as Japanese were interned in the USA (as you mentioned) and Germans in Canada. The Soviet Union in 1941 was overwhelmingly Jewish and had laws set up to combat anti-Semitism. So it was no surprise that a vast number of Jews in Europe were Communist partisans, many of whom intent on sabotaging the Nazi war effort, and had to be interned in camps for security reasons. The Germans had hundreds of cyanide gas chambers that were used to KEEP THE INMATES ALIVE by fumigating clothing to kill lice which carried fatal diseases such as typhus--one the foremost killers of Jews in the camps along with starvation and sickness.

The reason so many died in the camps wasn't because the Nazis were murdering them but because the railways carrying medicine and food into the camps were destroyed by Allied terror bombing and strafing, or were dynamited by Communist partisans; many of these partisans thought they were "saving lives" by sabotaging the Nazi war effort when in fact they were killing (indirectly) the people in the camps. Only about a million Jews died during the war. The "confessions" from the SS men were coerced through torture and this is admitted.

That's a better observation than what I conveyed. I've stopped getting my news from MSM. Blogs and forums are the absolute revolution. That's why we need to always make sure that the internet stays unregulated.

I find that after you sort through the crap on blogs and forums, you get a better picture of what the world is really like.
