not a coincidence district 9 looked like that
That woman looks looks a bonewalker. Are we sure she's not an undead?
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.
You know, the Nazis at least built barracks for the Jews.
had Jews build their own barracks I'll bet
Neat photo op for a trump hatchet woman. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth…
Seriously, every photo with her in it is clearly posed. Really going balls to the wall with the propaganda...
Hands on hips and demanding answers cause she’s the only reason anything happens.
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.
US prisons are lethal.
Plus the body count is in the hundreds of thousands if you include his previous 4 years.
So there's no genocide because of U.S. prison conditions? That's what you're arguing here?
Same as Germany, yes.
wut
Sorry... you're denying the Holocaust happened because of German prison conditions?
What? No I'm saying the US has been building concentration camps for years where people are routinely raped, tortured, starved, and murdererd.
Unless you are denying that Trump is instigating a genocide, what exactly is your point?
Did you just feel like telling someone at random about conditions in American prisons?
I think they're just stating that we've already had concentration camps, things are just ramping up ig. 🤷♀️
I don't think anyone is suggesting otherwise. We had them in WWII.
Not everyone knows this history, especially people who are not US or Japanese Americans
You're very snarky today, aren't you
Providing useful contextual information to a global audience isnt what I'd consider "snarky"
Eh, that's on me, I think I was reading too much into things, my bad
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.
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
"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.
