    Well yeah, the Cardassians were using slave labour in death camps for a reason.

    The Nazi had the stabbed in the back myth because their economy was through the floor.

    In a way Capitalism is the source of all death camps, all slavery. King Leopald thought he’d collect more money the more brutal he was. The Pilgrams were hungry and racist enough to perpetuate genocide.

    Let me tell you something about Humans, Nephew. They’re a wonderful, friendly people, as long as their bellies are full and their holo-suites are working. But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people… will become as nasty and as violent as the most bloodthirsty Klingon. You don’t believe me? Look at those faces. Look in their eyes.

      The US attorney general, whose job is to enforce the nation’s laws, in a hearing about why she is protecting the Epstein abusers instead of prosecuting them, refused to answer questions on the substance of the matter. Instead, she started making personal attacks against members of Congress, and when that failed to stop the questions she proceeded to shout about how the Dow was at 50,000.

      A US government head asked their Congress to talk about it instead of the Epstein files during a hearing.
