When the ICE director said he wanted to create an "Amazon Prime for humans" sort of deportation system, it reminded me how in The Third Reich At War, Richard J. Evans writes about how the Germans overseeing the mass murder of thousands of Jews and others per day would refer to them as objects such as "packages." And I remembered also how the Japanese of Unit 731 who were responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people called the victims of their vile human experimentation "logs." So arguably the worst corner of our government, the lawless thugs of ICE, are now thinking of people as packages, or objects by whatever name. Is this the fifth stage of fascism yet?
