    It’s The Everglades Concentration Camp.

    We should not call this what they want us to call it. Do Not Comply. Resist and speak the truth!

    I hope we on Lemmy and elsewhere can start a trend of refusing to parrot their bullshit talking points and speak the Truth instead of spreading their propaganda for them.

    I hate that the media and the public immediately parrots whatever 1984-speak terminology they roll out, letting them define the narrative and pacify people to accept their atrocities as normal.

    (Likewise, it’s not the “big beautiful bill”, it’s the “Kill Americans to Pay Billionaires” bill. January 6 was not a “protest by patriots”, but an armed insurrection, etc. etc. etc.)

      Let’s collectively remember that Hitler was inspired by the colonisers of the Americas and their methods of destroying the population of natives so they could move in. America is the inspiration for concentration camps. Not Nazi Germany.

      Reading material: A Brief History of US Concentration Camps

      The country was borne of blood and evil, superiority complex and genocide, and the current administration are keen to restore that brutality.

          Dachau was one of the first concentration camps built by the Nazis, meant to house political opponents, and at the start didn’t have forced labor. Then, to quote Wikipedia,

          After its opening by Heinrich Himmler, its purpose was enlarged to include forced labor, and eventually, the imprisonment of Jews, Romani, Germans, and Austrians that the Nazi Party regarded as criminals, and, finally, foreign nationals from countries that Germany occupied or invaded.

          The treatment was certainly brutal and there was forced labor and torture, but it was ultimately a concentration camp, not a death camp like Auschwitz. Compare Dachau’s 41.5k deaths out of 188k prisoners to Auschwitz’s 1.1 million out of 1.3 million. My point is that they won’t jump straight to death camps or the brutal treatment we associate with concentration camps. That kind of stuff will come later, when MAGA has consolidated power more, but for now they’ll stick to “just” imprisonment. First Dachau, then more Dachau, then Auschwitz.

    FFS, didn’t take long for you guys to get something better than his fucking wall: proper concentration camps! And those seem much more realistic and affordable this time around. Every Americans will be paying for them and sadly could end up there if they don’t walk the line.

    Better use that 2nd amendment quick before they take that away too. Trump was already clear that he does not support guns and started getting mental health tied to gun control.

    How bad are Americans going to let it get before they do something? Will they finally realize they should stand up for what’s right when they’re being pushed into the cell?

    I was speaking with some locals from central Washington state and they believe one is to be built there as well. Omak area somewhere.
