Yes. This is why you should beware of people who speak of the lessons or verdict of history as if future students of evil will always judge it harshly rather than glorify and aspire to it. If history teaches anything it is that history will not conform to your pleasant delusions at some later date.
Yes. Miller knows those people can't all be deported. He knows they will be in camps. We need to understand: many, many people in Trump's circle read about the Nazis, openly admire Hitler, and want to emulate what Hitler did. We have to accept how serious this is - we cannot hide from it.
Dear all saying no worries, Trump can't round up 10M immigrants because their work is needed for the US economy: please, remember that MOST of the camps in Germany from 1938 were "Arbeitslager" - labor camps. Deporting people is hard. But locking people up and making them work, that's been done. 1/

The misogynistic fantasy of creation without women is also wrapped up in AI & robotics.

Consider early versions of Siri & Alexa. That's Big Tech's vision of women's roles.

TBF, most of these men prefer machines to other humans. One of the gravest post-war mistakes the US made was empowering them.
Basically, Asimov gave the worst people in the world the idea that they could both invent a new kind of slave AND make sure it didn't sass you, so long as the positronic coding was dope enough
The only take on Asimov that matters is @zsamudzi.bsky.social's, which is that his "Three Laws of Robotics" are just chattel slave laws, and that the ubiquity of these "Laws" in culture is dangerous
