“Steve Miller certainly seemed to make that point to everyone that he wanted it to be cruel. This was what Miller had stated to the DHS at that time, to the DHS director and deputy director. What surprised me was just how adamant the people were that it was going to happen. Damn the consequences. I would say in 25 years of working with the U.S. government, I’ve never been in that position before."
So the Nazis said the exact same thing when they were building their concentration camps. They designed the camps to maximize daily suffering - even for forced labourers who were not imminently bound for the gas chambers. It is a psychological attack - people are much less able to plan escapes or uprisings if they are constantly sick or in pain.
Miller is a good student of history - he draws his inspiration from past masters of evil.
The irony is that if he was truly a student of history he might want to look at how things ended up for Jews For Hitler.
Maybe he might be forgetting that he’s a Jew, but the people he’s running with? They sure as fuck will not.
Not only, that but I always think that the current fascists have learnt from their counterparts: the communists. The latter coordinated internationally while the old school fascists just winged it. Now, the new fascists realised they should coordinate globally like the Communist International have. It’s not a coincidence that there is a surge of the far right across the world.
Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller knows his Nazi history inside and out. Let’s make sure he meets the same end.
I feel like Goebbels is a more apt description?
Goebbels was in charge of Propaganda, but Himmler was in charge of the Final Solution. Himmler was the one that killed millions. Miller admires Himmler more than any of them.
I haven’t gotten the impression that Miller is in charge of much and more in front of cameras trying to control the narrative. But admittedly I’ve been trying to avoid seeing anything about him.
Goebbels was the propeganda minister. ICE (the equivalent of the SS), is headed by Markwayne Mullin, the Secretary of Homeland Security. The equivalent of Miller would more be like Martin Bormann, the head of the Nazi Party Chancellery, and private secretary to Adolf Hitler. Evil men for sure, and all are/were proponents of extermination. But, Bormann was more Hitler’s kiss ass like Miller is to tRump, and Miller sticks to tRump like the same glue that held Bormann to Hitler. Both Miller and Bormann advocate(d) for evil, but both would rather have a third party do the hard work. Also, Bormann was better able to control the information/people that got to Hitler much like Miller tries to control who/what gets to tRump.
Also, while Himmler ran the camps that did the actual gassing, it was Bormann who signed the the decree of 9 October 1942 prescribing that the permanent Final Solution in Greater Germany could no longer be solved by emigration, but only by the use of “ruthless force in the special camps of the East”, that is, extermination in Nazi death camps.
I prefer to call Miller ‘The Great White Worm’
Im betting he asked chatgpt and this was the advice it gave. Miller doesn’t come off as someone who cares about academics or history.
