I’m sure that’s of great comfort to the people in concentration camps. Legit so gross to acknowledge concentration camps currently existing and being run by your own government, and somehow still making it about you.
- What can the average US citizen do about concentration camps that are outside the US but controlled by the US?
  
  Never forget. /S
  
  Did you phrase it this way to avoid talking about the ones in the US?
  At bare minimum they could not turn the existence of these camps into the opportunity to talk about how morally pure they are. Useless and obnoxious at best, callous and heartless at worst.
  
  Forgot about the new ones popping up, so I will lump them in as well: what concrete actions can US citizens take in regards to the concentration camps being set up by their government? A government that has the largest amount of military spending on the planet, and has now started deploying that military against it's own citizens.
  
  Drones.... Certain funds from the construction market... (Although, I don't know if they stock other stores in your area.) , start hunting terrorists, Badaboom
  Taking some of the millions and millions weapons in US...
  But has to be done some time ago. Now ist over.
  Edit: But you should definitely arm yourself and be prepared.
  The Purge Real Life. Anytime between 2025-2028 in your local country. Get ready.
  
  You always have options.

  Why are you asking me what to do when my criticism of the sentiment in the OP is that it’s self centered and cruel?
  If you need to be led around by the nose, probably literally anything else is going to be better than publicly jacking yourself off about how you didn’t want this to happen. I’m sure you can think of something other than self congratulatory meme posting.
  
  I'm asking as you're the one complaining. Don't bring me a dead cat without bringing me a shovel.
  
  2A exists for a reason
  
  I'm doubtful that an armed US populace will be effective against the militarized police forces and literal military being deployed against Citizens.
  The second amendment was more realistic when society had roughly the same fire power as the military, but not so much any more.
  They have predator drones, we have AR-15's. These are not the same.
  
  I find this sentiment very funny, considering the United States terrible performance in asymmetrical warfare.
  
  I don’t think we won a war against an insurgency on their own soil in….. ever?
  And that’s with the benefits of untouchable supply lines, and war production, unparalleled intelligence apparatus, and the ability to print money.
  
  Exactly. Proving you ultimately can't control an armed populace who are willing to take up arms against you.
  This all falls apart when most of the country is mass surveilled and production is automated. If only 10% of the workforce are required, it's easier to control the 10% you need by killing the other 90%, ever shrinking the population of proles until only the < 1% remain.
  That's why fascism, billionaires, and all oligarchs must be eliminated before general AI and mass automation are realized, otherwise the 99% face genocide.
  
  You nailed it, also why the next step for Silicon Valley is military robotics

  The number of Americans who showed up to protest in the streets on No King's Day was at least 1 million more than the sum total of US military and police members.
  
  Did they have predator drones in Afghanistan?
  
  I always find it funny when people put hope in 2a.
  Sure there's military personal that traffick weapons to the streets, cartel and Mafias... But citizens are going to need tanks, battleships, and airplanes. I want to see air craft carriers floating down the Mississippi.
  
  Start with small groups of ICE agents?
  Weapons manufacturing facilities?
  Infrastructure? Hacktivism?
  Economic targets?
  Rich mansions?
  Anything's better than shoulder-shrugging after decades of molon labe.
  
  so why even try to resist right? Lets just say we are sad about it
  
  Or be smart about it... op was just being honest and realistic... That's how you need to be when you are at war.
