This was a classic in the Bush era and it’s even more important now.

At work, where we collect customer data, folks from Mexico are hesitant to reveal identifying info. Farms are understaffed. Every group of dark-tinted SUVs might be another armored column for ICE.

For any Americans reading this wondering what you would have done in late-1930s Germany, you get up in the mornings now and you have your answer.

    "But in this country, we have no 'other' people. We are American people, all of us."

    I feel like this is the thing that USians seem to be forgetting (or ignoring).

    It's a known flaw in the national identity. Unfortunately it's like herpes, you think you got it under control this time until things get too stressful and you start breaking out again.

    It's because we refuse to look in the mirror and deal with our collective crap. Broken people are more exploitable, whole people are a bigger "start up" costs, with unfathomable ROI. But also more trouble for wealth hoarders, and we can't have that.

    I don't think the Catholic Church will be there this time. From my experience they are infected with nationalist ideology which is full of the same divisive talk seen in the video. It's one of the reasons I left.
