nor is it a struggle for energy, which is unfortunately contained in every body in the form of heat that cannot be converted, but rather a struggle for entropy, which becomes available through the transfer of energy from the hot sun to the cold earth.

I am from Germany, and I am old enough to have had parents and grandparents who lived through Nazi Germany. Not every arrest is fascism. However, the organized manner in which this government enables these cruelties definitely has a 1933 vibe. You should not be sarcastic about the obvious parallels.

From 1939-1945 German officers also listened to speeches from civilians about how the laws of war didn’t apply to them. And then they participated in the Holocaust, starved millions of prisoners of war, destroyed villages and cities, and were defeated.

β€œABC and CBS are making a serious miscalculation. Their servility to Trump will not earn them peace, only greater pressure.”

That’s the German professional association of journalists, @djv.de, calling on major US media to support their journalists instead of preemptively silencing them.

Neither CBS nor ABC thought that they could afford to openly break with the US government right now. Can this be seen as making the best of a difficult situation? Is it impossible to say 'no'? Or is the key word 'openly break'?

Just so we’re clear, the problem of violent extremism in the U.S. is one coming from the far right, not the far left. It’s just that the right is fed misinformation about it so they have it wrong in their heads once again.
