This practice seems very nazi to me...
It does, and this article seems ultimately very foolish. "Make sure the Nazi Party understands that we're the good kind of Jews." When the time comes it won't matter what kind of documentation they have. If I had trans kids I'd be making arrangements to leave shithole places like Florida, pronto, before they put the trains into service. I don't mean that as hyperbole. I think there is a real chance things will get that bad. Something terrible is happening to our country.
I mean yeah, but it's not always possible for someone to move, especially in the short term. Maybe it's too expensive or they can't sell their house. This could be a good survival strategy in the meantime
That's true in some sense, but again, there are Jews who survived Nazi Germany only by leaving with nothing but the clothes on their backs. We're not there yet obviously, but with the direction of things, a bit of hustle is probably warranted, whether or not it's economically advantageous. And I hate that it just makes these places drift further into fascism when decent moral people flee, but I think people need to really open their eyes to what the stakes are here.
