schestowitzThis site's "subnet" has always been a sham because, as I covered in techrights, they only hired FOSS-hostile people as staff writers. Not even now can I name as a decent writer and the output reflects that. In recent years they were not writing as much and some writers pretty much vanished; it's better that way.Nov 17 09:11

TechrightsBN@schestowitz@joindiaspora.com: The US DHS wants to treat people like cattle http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/privacy/privacy_advcom_rpt_rfid_draft.pdf why not ask IBM for help? They helped Hitler.Nov 18 18:16
schestowitz"Nov 18 18:16
schestowitzI'm guessing Marc is right about IBM at least having plausible deniability. The Nazis would have little reason to declare their full intentions and IBM would have little reason to ask.Nov 18 18:16
schestowitzHowever, from what I've seen, Nazi intentions toward Jews were clear nearly from the start. I'm not precisely certain of the timing, but my impression is that a Jewish exodus began about the time the Nazis came to power; Jews knew, even if many were in denial. So the Nazis likely did know, even if IBM and many Germans did not.Nov 18 18:16
schestowitzSteven Buechler writes of the Frankfurt School:Nov 18 18:16
schestowitz    Within a decade [from 1923, when the Institute for social Research was founded], Hitler's ascension created an increasingly hostile climate for leftist Jewish intellectuals, and the Institute for Social Research essentially disbanded.Nov 18 18:16

schestowitz"Nazi intentions toward Jews were clear nearly from the start."Nov 18 18:17
schestowitzTo little extent - yes. However, most Jews were taken out of their homes - for example in Germany in case of German Jews - with the info that they will live elsewhere, not that they're going to die horrible deaths in nazi german deathcamps located somewhere in conquered Poland or in Bergen-Belsen in Germany. It's really not that simple as most people would like it to be. I know some good history. Partly because I'm polish, partly Nov 18 18:17
schestowitzbecause I like to know stuff. Of course, I do not claim to be an expert and I do not think that I have any better reasons to know more than anyone else. I just like to keep proper distance and right view.Nov 18 18:17

schestowitz"Nov 18 18:16
schestowitzI'm guessing Marc is right about IBM at least having plausible deniability. The Nazis would have little reason to declare their full intentions and IBM would have little reason to ask.Nov 18 18:16
schestowitzHowever, from what I've seen, Nazi intentions toward Jews were clear nearly from the start. I'm not precisely certain of the timing, but my impression is that a Jewish exodus began about the time the Nazis came to power; Jews knew, even if many were in denial. So the Nazis likely did know, even if IBM and many Germans did not.Nov 18 18:16
schestowitzSteven Buechler writes of the Frankfurt School:Nov 18 18:16

schestowitzTo little extent - yes. However, most Jews were taken out of their homes - for example in Germany in case of German Jews - with the info that they will live elsewhere, not that they're going to die horrible deaths in nazi german deathcamps located somewhere in conquered Poland or in Bergen-Belsen in Germany. It's really not that simple as most people would like it to be. I know some good history. Partly because I'm polish, partly Nov 18 18:17
