Japanese interment camp seems pretty logical now.
Despite what Progressives would tell you, the people of the past didn't just do stuff the Progressives disagree with because they were irrational stupid racists. The camps made COMPLETE logical sense. The alternative would have been fighting WW2 while dealing with the threat of constant spying and terror attacks from Japanese Americans. In a more brutal era, there would have been no camps, the government would have just shot them all just to be safe.
The weird thing is when they did it to maoists they were right
Trump killed the LP the first time around, look at the number of votes from 2012 to now, it's insane, especially considering how divisive all the mainstream candidates have been, even among their own parties. The problem is that the divisiveness of Trump was actually a draw to a lot of the Libertarians and it gutted them while at the same time not gaining anybody who was turned off by any candidates. A super unique situation that also happened to kill the party. Libertarian+ vs. Mises caucus was a death rattle and nothing more.
When Andrew Jackson became President there was a backlog of something like 10,000 land grants awaiting the signature of the President. Each one, individually. I've read anecdotes that claim the vast majority of Jackson's time in the White House was spent personally signing those things and is why so many are available for collectors today. Maybe 3-4 hours every single day of his presidency.
Why lock them up? Execute them. I don't want more of my taxes wasted keeping some traitors alive.
I am not pro Japanese camps or anything, but given the time and fears it was something I'm not surprised happened. You had an entire culture and nation who viewed their emperor as a literal god. I don't think people can fully comprehend that today. Islamic terror is a close analog, but it's still not the same. We have the benefit of modern surveillance technology to help stop those attacks and even then many still occur. Japanese culture was fanatical about the emperor. It was an entire country and closed culture of it. Not just a religion where many different sub groups exist and teachings, where national identity is also not tied into it. You had the worst of both worlds. A suicidal religious cult of a false god emperor combined with that being the national identity and culture.
Quiet reform won’t work in the US. It’s not very American. Cooperation doesn’t either as seen in 2016.
They’re probably Chinese citizens, and we wouldn’t want a kerfuffle
The Chinese claim to have six gorillion years of history when in reality they as a people have existed only for sixty years. The Cultural Revolution shattered that proverbial Ship of Theseus that is a culture, broke the continuity between past and present, eradicated all the historical sites and written texts and cultural shaping, as was its stated goal and actions. The country they live in has however many thousand years, but if we're going by that standard Turkey with Göbekli Tepe or the Fertile Crescent or Egypt have them beat by millennia and even the Australian Aborigine has eerily accurate oral traditions of megafauna they hunted to extinction fifty thousand years before. They consistently cope and sneed about what the cultures that came before them did and achieved, yet their Honored Ancestors never actually did anything of note with what they discovered; instead too busy killing another ten million peasants for some reason or another, a historical pastime of theirs. They lacked drive, entrepreneurial spirit, a desire to do things for the good of others out of nothing but a sense of moral duty, and the Human call to see what lies beyond the horizon, both metaphorical and physical.
The "Three Years of Difficulty" worked out great? How about the Sparrow campaign?
“Like moon night sky falling into cave; Ancestor only fuck my butt. And Ancestor boss.” - Ancient Chinese proverb.
