| [Sovereign Man] On April 26, 1933, the interior minister for the German state of Prussia issued a decree creating a new secret state police, or Geheime Staats Polizei, abbreviated: Gestapo. The Gestapo was tasked with stamping out all opposition to Germany’s new Chancellor and the party he brought to power one year earlier. It operated by collecting tips from ordinary citizens, including even school children. And this network of Gestapo informants changed Germans’ behavior almost overnight. Even a joke about the ruling party could land you in a Gestapo interrogation room. Talking politics around your children became a dangerous gamble. According to Erik Larson’s book In the Garden of Beasts, 37% of denunciations "arose not from heartfelt political beliefs, but from private conflicts with the trigger often breathtakingly trivial." |

| #4 At some point even the Gestapo had to stop cancelling people That point was May 1945. Until then they had free reign. Writing's on the wall, mein herren. Either oppose these fascists or submit. The third option is to separate. We should start that process regardless. Separate banking, commerce, messaging, networking platforms at a minimum. |

| #3 we are on the same path. We will see how Amerika does this compared to the Germans. Me thinks it will be done more economically through shaming businesses into firing the right wing and financial institutions refusing services to the average white conservative! |

| #2 But NKVD never did - that's why they lasted so much longer. |

| #1 Ah, but the bottleneck was dealt with by cleaning up with a nice shower. |
