drake10ism:weavemama:this is hella scary. the president of the U.S is literally retweeting anti-Muslim propaganda. this is the shit dictators do when they want to ostracize a certain demographic. don’t tell me there’s nothing wrong and horrifying about this. This is disgusting and exactly what Carl Schmitt describes as the “Sovereign Exception”. Basically, the sovereign (The president), decides on who is the “exception” in society and to whom the rights of citizenship apply or do not apply.The acceptance of this is one of the quickest ways for democracy to degenerate into tyranny. Instead of upholding our values for everyone, we allow the government/regime to decide and it is all fun and games until you find out they are coming for you next. That’s how tyrants stay in power, there always has to be an enemy. -- source link
