The Big "Arbeit macht frei" Society?

In memory of Ulrike Meinhof. | 08.11.2010 16:29

This is posted for discussion purposes. We are living in dark days and a new social cleansing is about to occur in the UK. In other parts of the world too possibly. Are the poor, the old, the sick and the disabled the equivalent of the Jews in Nazi Germany? Are those who cannot work treated as if they are subhumans in the UK today?

Not a day passes when there is more talk of people having to work, this is irrespective of their circumstances. The message comes over, you will have to work if you are old and frail. Work whether or not you are fit to do it. Work however disabled, or crippled, you may be.

Anyone who has not been able to work, or obtain work, is branded a scrounger, a citizen who is severely lacking and needs "rehabilitation", or punishment for this fact.

There is a media frenzy about people who are not in work, branding them parasites, scroungers and worse.

People who are on benefits are described as scum. Not fit to be in decent housing, or to be able to live adequately.

A whole new vendetta has been created which is directed on the poor, those on benefits and others who are not in work.

How far away are we from creating signs which read, "Arbeit macht frei" and having these fixed over "camps" to house all these groups?

It seems that we are entering a dangerous age where there is a close resemblance to the treatment of the Jews and others in Nazi Germany. Where are we heading down this path, concentration camps? Or will people be killed off slowly by starving them to death. In the killing wards of the NHS perhaps?

Bear in mind that the same people who put Hitler into power are running the show now too.

Social cleansing replacing ethnic cleansing?
