concentration camp
CONCENTRATION CAMP
I do want to grab a journalist by the collar and say, "just say it already bitch!"
This whitewashing is just permissive
call them death camps
"I will tell you I was in one of the areas where I actually laid down on a bed. The bed was probably more comfortable than my bed at home," said Republican State Sen. Blaise Ingoglia. "I'm not kidding."
Our overlords are literally doing the 'let them eat cake' thing at this point.
Democratic lawmakers said they couldn't take pictures or bring their phones inside.
Why? There people are authorized. What would they do, arrest them?
From a political standpoint, it comes down to weighing the political cost of sneaking in a camera and possibly being arrested for trying to sneak photos out, and between the knowledge that anyone who’s listening damn well knows how fucking bad it is there already without having to see pictures. And the political value of acting like victims of fascism (which they unquestionably are) might be more valuable than showing pictures and video of horrors that Americans are already numb to.
In short, there is more value in being denied the ability to take photo and video then there is an actually showing the photos and video. That way, people will assume the worst as their imaginations will allow rather than showing yet another video of people in horrific conditions. If that sort of imagery could motivate Americans to act, it would have already. The imminent threat to free speech is far more concerning to the people of this country as a whole.
Undercover law...people have buttons for cameras. Democrats can sort this...if they wanted to do it.
I disagree completely with you. People who know it’s bad aren’t going to do anything, and people who think others are overreacting aren’t going to care without proof.
This is like a factory farm where all the animals are kept in horrible conditions. You cannot make a vegan out of “they are treated bad” but you can if you show them.
I feel you are just making excuses for weak people who can do something but choose not to.
political cost? getting arrested for outing a death camp is worth any “cost” in your politics. If someone is worried about their arc if they fight back against fascism then they’re actually fascist themselves.
They'd probably throw them in alligator Auschwitz
That would definitely be a big step in the wrong direction, but we may as well get it over with now.
Well, the main problem is the existence of Alligator Auschwitz Alcatraz, so photos are kinda pointless.
They won’t be pointless is 100 years.
Alligator Auschwitz
My favourite is Alligator Auschwitz Concentration (soon to be death) Camp.
This seems appropriate. The people that were sent to Alcatraz at least had something that resembled due process.
Where are the gas chambers or the industrial killing machines?
The american concentration camps are bad enough without this equation. Feels weird.
We have slid too far for this comparison to be weird or make you uncomfortable and just leave it at that. It should make you uncomfortable. This IS a genocide. WE won't know about the gas chambers and executions until much much too late. Like uncovering a mass grave/burn pit late.
Well they did install a bunch of "trash incinerators" that look pretty conveniently body sized
"We're rounding up legal American families and putting them in prison camps, but, since there's no gas chambers, they aren't concentration camps."
They are concentrated into a camp. I see how it could look as-if they are in a Concentration Camp.
The difference is night and day.

...and there will be accountability."
Doubt
Can the world collectively CONDEMN this fucker already??? Force his sorry ass into Nazi trials like they did to those sick fucks.
Last time it took the world teaming up to put a red flag over the legislature building of the place.
If it goes like last time, you should start stockpiling food, hiding your women and learning Cantonese.
"...for the first time after weeks of ILLEGALLY being denied entry."
I wish we could record statements like this and move their families there with no special treatment until they decide it should be shut down. Their elderly parents, their kids, all their loved ones. Then give their families a choice when the politicians says it should be closed so they can leave. 20 years of sentencing there to share. Where they can vote all 20 years have to be spent by the statement maker, of divided equally among their family. Every one of those families would be out in a few weeks and the politicians would be imprisoned for 20 years, many of which would die from mistreatment. A lot of them would never see there families again because their families would know they are vile disgusting people.
same logic holds in other areas. when they take public office their pay should be minimum wage. no bonuses. no stocks. public healthcare. one house. They should live how their constituents live.
Their families already know they are disgusting people. Most of their families are also disgusting people.
Disappear their families to camp? They'd love that. You don't really konw who these people are, do you? You believe that they think like you in any way. That's just wrong.
I didn't say disappear. It's known where they are, and they get to vote to get out. The punishment is just exaggerated but aimed towards the entire family because that is what these policies are aimed at, damaging entire families/communities
Remember folks, nazis did this last time, in Germany, too. A camp cleaned up and special is still a fucking death camp.
Who's died there?
give it time. If we continue the parallelism arc to the nazi regime it took years since Hitlers party came to power, started rounding up people into concentration camps and until people saw through censorship (if they didn’t internally denied it as they denied the knowledge after they were asked)

Also, propaganda and censorship is a hell of a drug

Edit: grammar and also a disclaimer: I would rather see it wouldn’t go as far as during WW2
are you that thick?
We don't know. We'll probably never know their names.
