Concentration camps? Never again! Unless my billionaire boss tells me it's okay, of course, but that is obvious

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 8 points 16 hours ago

MAGA is also quietly building a 30,000 bed facility in Guantanamo Bay right now, that isn't being covered in the media. Clearly they intend to lock up a lot of people far away from relatives, lawyers, the courts, and the media. If they are intending on deporting undocumented people to other countries, who do they intend to hold at Gitmo? People they CAN'T deport? Like American Citizens?

For context, the average maximum security prison holds 800-1200. The largest, in Angola, LA, holds about 8300. So this new facility hold almost 4 times more than the largest prison, and many times more than the average. Gitmo currently has a capacity for about 300 people. Again, who do they intend on keeping there?

It should also be noted that a few years down the line, when they've finished rounding up the majority of their immigrant boogymen, what are they going to do with this giant federal death squad agency, and their giant detainment facilities? Just disband the predators, and tear down their prisons? Or will they just identify a new "enemy?"

We all know the answer to that.

Burn them down.

If you leave near one of these and don't protest it to hell and back, think about how in 20 years time you'll be talking about how your town had concentration camps

"If I had known it was going to get as bad as it did then I would've done more. It's not my fault, we just weren't warned at all."

"What about all those warnings. The years of escalation of terror and kidnapping. The murders on the street. The history of fascism once again repeating itself?"

"We just weren't warned at all. It's not my fault. It's not my fault."

"But.."

"WE WEREN'T WARNED, I TELL YOU." {buries head in the sand and continues to blame everyone else but themselves, whilst simultaneously wondering why the rest of the civilised world can no longer trust america.}

They're building the camps. They're looking to fill them. Act accordingly.

Not in anyway trying to say it would be justified even if he was only planning to put immigrants in warehouses, but just so we're on the same page... we all know it's not just going to be immigrants he's putting into these warehouses, right?

Just want to make sure we don't waste another year hearing people say "They won't do that because this is America, and American citizens have rights." These people give exactly the same number of fucks about your rights as they do about America. Zero.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

it ain't just been immigrants they been disappearing already. it's mostly just been brown people and protestors

Walls still plastered with giant faded and cracked murals of Martha Stewart promoting her collection.

Oh god. She is going to be the last face I see.

[–] silence7@slrpnk.net 20 points 1 day ago

And ICE is quite explicit about their plans

When they told the agents they were U.S. citizens, the couple said, one responded, “It doesn’t matter.” Another offered, “What you’re doing is illegal. This is like Germany 1938,” the court papers said.

concentration camps here we come.

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 2 points 20 hours ago

Death* camps.

[–] MalReynolds@slrpnk.net 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The fuck? They're building (soon to be) death camps and the headline is 'Not in my backyard'. This is what an unfree press looks like.

[–] bassow@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago

Nah, that's America. Children as young as five and two years old, some sick and all without parents, have been abducted for months all over the US and all comments were mostly about hurrdurr-conservative-values. Things only got really heated when two white people got shot. People are only in it for themselves.

[–] muxika@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago

While the jobless, homeless masses wither and die. Imagine how much we could do to alleviate poverty and starvation with that money. Such an awful waste of space and funding.

[–] MyDogLovesMe@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago (2 children)

How many people do they intend to detain?

That’s a lot of concentration camps!

[–] silence7@slrpnk.net 25 points 1 day ago (2 children)

About 70% of the current population

if it was up to Mr. Miller there would be only 100 million people in this country, and they would all look like Mr. Miller

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

i kept saying "no that can't be right" and then promptly forgot how to do math. I really need to buy a powdered wig and bayonet

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Serial Rapist?

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He seems more the type to watch someone get murdered then jack off in a closet while choking himself.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 2 points 23 hours ago

while choking himself.

If he would finish that job it might be worth sacrificing one of us.

Dick so small he can only fuck Cheerios

[–] n0respect@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

Well, they intend to deport at least 100 million (out of 345 mil total). Pulling from the other comment, that's 145 million left in the concentration camps (barring any deaths).

How many ~~slaves~~ prisoners do you think they want? ...How many can they control?

[–] huppakee@piefed.social 1 points 16 hours ago

Why y'all complaining? They'll get plenty sunlight in those boxes. /s

Burn them down

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is GREAT because ICE Agents are NOT Known Criminals, Child Molesters, and Murderers and they ALWAYS Follow the LAW and are kept ACCOUNTABLE by the Courts!

[–] huppakee@piefed.social 1 points 16 hours ago

Thank YOU for "using CAPS LOCK" to emphasize the IMPORTANT WORDS!!

Timeline for the Bell Riots is 10 years off...

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 1 points 23 hours ago

They came to Kansas City to look at one and right after the left, the city changed the zoning laws. Fuck yeah.

Theres still some controversy about if a developer in the area will sell it to the Feds, but the city is trying to fight back.

[–] JargonWagon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How does one build bombs that could destroy said warehouses? Asking for a friend.

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

It's honestly not that hard but getting close enough and/or not harming innocents in the process is hard
