Midnight Train to Auswitz [sic -- Ed.]

Ah, the wonders of modern civilization in our Kindred community! Just last night a young lady was marked for a horrible death without a public trial or any proof shown. (She was an old enemy of Stevens, fancy that.) As they prepared to douse her with gasoline, one person tried to interfere, protesting the innocence of the accused, and, when it was clear they wouldn't listen, tried to shield her with her own body, locking her arms around the accused in a gesture similar to a hug. Tremere intervened, non-fatally, did something that made her collapse and took her away, after a short interval, the nameless unfortunate was burned alive.

Say, I've got a good idea! We've already got a dictatorship (oh, they call it another name, but we know what it really is) with it's own personal Goon Squad, why not go all the way? Trade in those clan pins for Death's Heads and Lightening Bolts, get the appropriate uniforms - we'd have a new Third Reich in no time!

Public executions of "undesirables"
Certain clans deemed lower class
Lower class actively discouraged from mixing with the Upper class

Why, we're halfway there already. And you know Tremere would go for a "master race" in a second! Will everyone play "follow the leader" again, and go on "just following order," or will it take another path?

And if clan-mates start mysteriously disappearing in the dead of night, never to be heard from again, don't wait until they come for you, do something now while you have the chance.

Yes "Revolution 9" is being used by the loonies again, first Charlie Manson's "family" now our own 4 Horsemen preach to us of Helter Skelter. Reverend Lee - did the Beatles make you do it?

If the starts are here tomorrow, I'll be wishing on them, too,
Star light, star bright, let there be another night."
