Concentration camp. It's a concentration camp. Call it a concentration camp. You should call it a concentration camp because it's a concentration camp. DON'T FUCKING GIVE TRUMP WHAT HE WANTS DON'T USE HIS SANEWASHED WORDS, IT'S A FUCKING CONCENTRATION CAMP

I have been told multiple times on Lemmy now that it isn't a genocide because no one has been murdered yet.

Similarly, I was told a couple of days ago that America isn't a fascist dictatorship because they aren't shooting protesters yet.

People will keep their head in the sand until they're loaded into a boxcar themselves. Possibly even then.

anyone denying the long ongoing latin american genocide has their head either in the sand or up their ass. every dipshit who said things couldn't get worse than weimar joe or kamala doesn't understand just how bad things can get and elected for things to get worse all for the sake of their conscience. it hadn't shit to do with what would actually make things better or worse. they didn't want to help gazans. they wanted to feel good about themselves.

so. now i implore you, reader. the election was the chance to do something the gentle way. now it's time to do things the uncomfortable way. monitor the police and tell your marginalized peers what they're up to. hide people. fight. grow food and share it. don't be a fucking coward. get out here and help us help as many people survive as we can. voting was literally the least you could do. now it's time to do a little more

Yeah I just typed this yesterday and it's worth putting here too: in the 1930s in Germany there was a group that basically tasked itself with the protection of democracy and they waited for a signal from leadership that never came. Because leadership was waiting for the one moment. Don’t wait.

Just like MAGA on Palestine, the tankies will deny it the whole time.

"But why didn't the good Germans opposed what was happening??"

I miss the boring late 1990s, and I hate to be living in historical times. Bin Laden really managed to destroy the US with those 4 planes.

The onion is scary accurate sometimes. This is exactly what is happening.

Bin Laden? Bush helped him escape. Then kept the military industrial complex rollin’ while spying on US Citizens. Source

I just skimmed the article, but it looks like it was not Osama but members of his familiy...

But yeah, Patriot Act and sequels are still running to this day.

You know, the Nazis at least built barracks for the Jews.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

had Jews build their own barracks I'll bet

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

this is inhumane. if this is what the US government can provide then they are fucken failures in all aspects of governance. could this be worse conditions then what the Nazis provided for their concentration camps?

Tent camp on an island with hurricane season coming in 3.5 months. Average temperatures for Cuba: 80

I'm sorry everything will be just fine.

Neat photo op for a trump hatchet woman. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth…

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Seriously, every photo with her in it is clearly posed. Really going balls to the wall with the propaganda...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

Hands on hips and demanding answers cause she’s the only reason anything happens.

[–] Lucidlethargy 6 points 1 day ago

That woman looks looks a bonewalker. Are we sure she's not an undead?
