Isn’t Trump a convicted criminal? There would be a lot of happier people if they just sent him to El Salvador.

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 34 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

It's not for people who were convicted. No due process allowed.

[–] Greyghoster@aussie.zone 6 points 19 hours ago

I thought Trump was expanding it to everyone. Probably including people in other countries he doesn’t like.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 142 points 1 day ago (19 children)

We knew they wanted to go in a fascist direction, but I doubt many of us imagined they'd have the concentration camps up and running within three months. Bukele says he won't return anyone, even if innocent, from this prison in El Salvador, and the director of the prison says that no one who goes in will ever return to their community. So how do you keep shipping prisoners into a camp without any of them coming out, and without the camp filling up? Maybe we're further along with the Nazi program than most people realize.

[–] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 97 points 1 day ago (7 children)

We're on pace with Nazi Germany. If you use that as a template you'll expect:

  • Concentration camps in about 60 days (milestone reached)
  • October we're due to leave the UN/NATO
  • Draft coming in 2027 if Trump remains in power
  • In 2030 we'll annex Greenland
  • By September 2031 we will start WW3

Now a lot can change between now and then and Trump isn't a young guy, but that's the blueprint to watch.

You want to talk about concentration camps? We're already expanding our own Black Site.

America has the highest incarceration rate in the world. The average maximum security prison holds 800-1200 prisoners. The largest, Angola, LA, holds over 8000.

Our most famous black site, Guantanamo Bay, located in CUBA (WTF?), currently holds about 120, but that's about to change. HitlerPig has already signed an executive order to build a 30,000 bed detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, and a $249 billion contract has been awarded. This will be in a remote corner of an island controlled by a hostile enemy, far out of the prying view of the courts, or the media. Anything could happen there, and nobody at home would ever known about it.

So they are now building a facility there, that will hold 30,000 prisoners. That's nearly 4 times our largest prison, which is already about 8 times larger than average. Clearly, they are intending to incarcerate far many people that they already do. I wonder who those people will be?

Perhaps the most worrisome piece of news is this: It is expected to be finished in 2030. Why would HitlerPig commit to such a facility if he wasnt going to be able to use it? Perhaps he expects to still be in power in 2030.

We're much further ahead than them. Unlike Nazi Germany we're already the world's undisputed hegemon and all of the world's most advanced economies are aligned w us.

Even though some are starting to learn to regret it; they're still more skeptical of China or Russia than they are of us and our military presence within their borders and their dependence on our financial system ensures that they won't stray unless the bombs literally start flying and, by then, it'll be too late.

No. No I’m not allowing “I doubt many people knew this would happen” no. Plenty of us did nothing but scream for decades. You shooed us away. You sided with them because we were inconvenient to you.

[–] Draces@lemmy.world 22 points 23 hours ago

You're saying "you" to the people that were shouting it. You're shouting into an echo chamber. Maybe go say it to them

In a sane country people would be ripping the piping from their walls to use as weapons against a regime like this. Instead most people just don't notice or don't care. I actually don't see a future for my country anymore...

~people aren't doing anything~

literally millions of Americans organizing nationwide protests and resistance events, uniting with friends and co-workers to strategize, with larger and larger turnouts with each passing week....

🤔🤔🤔

An entirely spontaneous movement will end up reproducing the dominant ideology in a given society, because the dominant class has the means at its disposal to propagate and reproduce the dominant ideology.

So a revolutionary movement must know in advance what its revolutionary theory is; it must be united around a particular vision of society, a particular theory of revolutionary change, or it will simply reproduce the society that it is acting against.

Ideas that support capitalism have been around much longer than alternative ones, are more refined, and have way more tools to spread themselves—like the media, schools, and culture. A drastic change in structural thought is necessary.

Where is the evidence that this change in structural thought is actually occurring in the United States? How is this present in the dissent that has manifested thus far?

I haven’t seen a future for this country for a while now

I was hopeful that after 2020 we had learned our lesson but I was gravely mistaken...

Hey we should all discuss it at length yet not actually do anything about it. Go team 'murica.

Discussing begets knowledge, and knowledge is half the battle.

MAGA are going straight to Krystallnacht, but it’s ok because Bernie went to Coachella.

[–] RidderSport@feddit.org 1 points 10 hours ago

Kristallnacht, but as that is the Nazi term and euphemistic at that, pls use the official term Reichsprogromnacht

at what point is this not just a reactionary coup - the president's complete disregard of the Supreme Court's ruling and the Constitution means the United States of America is over, no? I mean, whatever this government is, it's no longer operating by the fundamental rules and laws that established this country, that define this government - this is a new, autocratic government operating by different rules.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 14 points 22 hours ago

Trump should be first in prison shouldnt he....

[–] Punchshark@lemmy.ca 29 points 1 day ago

What else do you expect from a shit hole country

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 41 points 1 day ago (11 children)

Americans, either fix your shit, or start thinking about how to get out, before the big beautiful wall keeps you in.
