The majority of these people who were kidnapped by masked men in unmarked vehicles had no criminal record
Yes, and even people with a criminal record don’t deserve to be locked up forever and to be abused.
They literally had lunch with him and cleaned him up for the meeting. They just don’t want to have to admit they’d have to send a bunch of people back
We have moved from being ruled by the laws of the government
To the whims of the government
Laws now are just … Suggestions.
We very certainly have moved to a new era of disregard for the law, but in service of understanding how we got here and where the system built power in hopes of breaking it, laws have always been suggestions. The 13th goes into this well, at every step when given leniency the judicial system has been abused to enact more violence and control over people of color. The enforcers are held to minimal standards, and seldom held accountable when they somehow fail to clear the bar in hell.
We need to be honest with ourselves about what this country was and how long it’s been unjust.
America has gone full nazi at this point,
- you have the SS, i mean ICE police
- you have Auschwitz camp in another country, I mean el Salvador
- courts have no power anymore, supreme court works for trump
- congress is in on it
- the richest guy in the world is making nazi salutes
what else is there ? They will even make a deal with russia to divide ukraine, just like stalin and hitler did with poland.
And the complete absurdity of Trump’s SCOTUS voting 9-0 for returning him home and Trump just said nah…
Almost like he’s never had a consequence and…he’s actually right on this one. No one will do anything about it.
Aliens will come here and ask “oh so you all bow to them because they can breathe acid and are resistant to small arms fire?” and we’ll look them in their faces and say “no, they’re actually pretty average and some are shockingly unhealthy and weak. Pretty much all their power is comes directly from what we give them for money, as they aren’t even particularly clever. We just…I dunno, can’t? I guess?”
“Why does Ross, the largest friend, not simply eat the other friends?”
Not just that, his press secretary claimed that the supreme court voted in their favor! I know they lie blatantly all the time but this was surprising even for them.
You know, back during WWII, at least we had Japanese internment camps on good ol’ American soil. Now, we’re outsourcing everything! Even our prison colonies!
Shame.
Apparently the dictator is incapable of dictating.
I assume he can’t come back because he’s dead
What’s worse is the Supreme Court ruled they had to make an effort to get him back essentially and the Trump admin just straight up lied about the result in a recent recorded video.
“”“”“Accidentally”“”“”
The lights are on 24/7 there. Bright florescent lights. I imagine at Dachau you might be able to escape in sleep occasionally.
Wait, the top one isnt a photo from ww2?..
Umm, thanks for these images, it really puts it in perspective. I knew that they were fascists and have shown it many times, but here it looks so clear
Even the Nazi’s provided their prisoners with blankets. It’s mentioned in Night, it’s mentioned in The Men with the Pink Triangle. The Nazis took away the blankets when they felt like being especially sadistic.
After the soup, we gathered between the bunks. The veterans told us: “You’re lucky to have been brought here so late. Today, this is paradise compared to what the camp was two years ago. Back then, Buna was a veritable hell. No water, no blankets, less soup and bread. At night, we slept almost naked and the temperature was thirty below. We were collecting corpses by the hundreds every day. Work was very hard. Today, this is a little paradise. The Kapos back then had orders to kill a certain number of prisoners every day. And every week, selection. A merciless selection… Yes, you are lucky.”
From Night
If you’re curious to learn more, you can check out this video. It is a very interesting and complex issue. It helps to understand some of El Salvador’s history before passing judgement, but that doesn’t of course mean, that this prison’s facilities and living conditions are acceptable. I just think it’s worth learning a little bit about why this prison exists in the first place.
Still, the fact that innocent US citizens supposedly have been sent there is fucking terrifying and should have never happened.
Ummm, first thanks for the info, second those comments on the video are really scary… They seem to promote concentrarion camps… Third, CNN here doesnt seem to aknowledge that it is a concentration camp and seems to dehumanize the prisoners (at least judging from the title)
Yeah. I chose this older coverage on purpose because it goes into the reasons why the prison exists, but if you check out more recent coverage of the prison, the tone is very different. I have linked to the same reporter revisiting Cecot. It is a bit funny how different the tone is now that it has dawned on people that there is no guarantee that all the people in that prison are convicted terrorists and that some may even be innocent.
I still find the whole issue incredibly fascinating in a scary sort of way. It’s good that dangerous criminals are being removed from the streets, but everything past that action is drenched in human rights nightmares.
But yeah, funny how people can think one way 5 months ago when it didn’t concern themselves and now it is a death camp and a human rights violation and yadda yadda.
True. It is very messed up. It’s one of those situations where there is a positive outcome that will look good for awhile, but it will probably not remain good forever, if they continue to arrest people. At some point it will go from violent criminals to whatever excuse they can make to imprison people. And woop, here we are today. It is happening.
I understand why the prison happened and I understand why the population of El Salvador was happy about their president’s decision to crack down hard on crime, but when does it stop? When have they caught enough people? Because they say they won’t stop until every single criminal has been taken off the street and be me that sounds like they will start seeing ghosts everywhere.
And that is still not even touching on the living conditions of the inmates.
Teenagers are also tried as adults, by the way.
Only difference is the lack of human experiments.
This is a big part of the Network State or Freedom Cities that are being proposed.
And the lack of such experiments is assumed. Not proven
Can have as much ideas as he wants, we don’t live in 1945 anymore, he has no chance to make them a reality.
Ah, the classic maxim: history cannot repeat itself.
Yes, because we’re very clearly following the rules of law here, and a central American nation would never be coerced by the US into engaging in flagrant human rights abuses.
Dude, they don’t even see prisoners as humans, neither do their lemmings. The US even got a rather recent backstory with torture and human trials. I understand your hope, but please be real. I’d be surprised if they weren’t already making “deals”.
How small-minded of you.
If I remember correctly they also don’t get even a bedsheet. They just sleep directly on the metal.
I remember hearing about this prison awhile back and it genuinely sounds like hell. I have very little compassion for rapists and murderers, but even they don’t deserve to live like that. I cannot imagine what it must do to your psyche.
If first you enter that prison, that is it. The president of that country is very adamant that no one is released, if I remember correctly.
Fucking terrifying to think someone who did nothing at all could end up in there, but there is probably more than one of those in there.
The thing is these aren’t rapists and murderers. These people haven’t been convicted of crimes. Even those not sent by the US. The Salvadoran dictator just decides that people are rapists and murderers and sends them there without trial.
Yes folks. Its obvious what this is. The end goal in orange mind is deport anyone whos against the regime.
They take this guy as a stepping stone.
The sad part is so many people havent woken up to the totally corrupt and off the rails society we live in
What they really want is to silience free thinkers that expose their lies. Thats their end state.
I have hope though. Theyre stupid and areogant and will push too much too fast and hopefully wake up enough people to get of their ass and start speaking up.
The end goal in orange mind is deport anyone whos against the regime.
It’s not. The math doesn’t work out. There are far more undocumented people alone in the US to fill up foreign prisons. What is more likely to happen is is that at a certain point, the US will start building their own concentration camps, then when all the businesses that relied on those people are struggling to fill positions, the camps will start leasing their prisoners to those businesses. It will be billed as some “Work sets you free” or “Service Guarantees Citizenship” Program.
Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution: prohibiting “slavery [and] involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime.”
Ice director wants to run deportations like ‘Amazon Prime for human beings’
then when all the businesses that relied on those people are struggling to fill positions, the camps will start leasing their prisoners to those businesses.
You already have that, since decades, they were just euphemistically called “prisons”. Just think about how much money can be made by shareholders of those prison companies (who already cheered) by renting out their S̶l̶a̶v̶e̶s̶ criminal inmates to companies for a 2000% profit margin.
Like, seriously, Hitler or Mussolini would be deeply impressed by the US government. Not exaggerating.
“Slave labor” is a weird way to refer to “involuntary human experimentation subject”
They can’t return him. He’s already been experimented on.
He has a chip in his brain already
He’s proactively dead.
Oh fuck. You think they’re being used as test subjects for Neuralink?
All they have to do is prove they are not doing that.
And they won’t.
It’s not a slave labor camp. It’s a concentration camp. That dude is probably dead now. Call your representatives ASAP if you live in the US. Trump must be deposed and arrested. Same with his fucking Goebbels wannabe, Pam Bondi, and Propaganda Barbie the second.
Don’t forget Miller in this
So we are all now sheep that can be plucked up and sent away to a private for-profit prison. That is the definitive end to freedom as a United States citizen. Neat Republicans. Fucking swell.
What were you expecting from fascism? Or did you just find out that trump is a fascist?
If we don’t take action now We settle for nothing later Settle for nothing now And we’ll settle for nothing later
“Anymore” in what timeline they cared anyway? Besides people serving the state or White House.
whatever absolute purity they must have to pass your “cared” test, they sure cared a lot fucking more than “accidentally sent to concentration camp, whoopsie” for all of american history…
Is there any chance, that you’d know where these Buchenwal exhibition items are today? President Eisenhower ordered that exhibition to take place and audience was the citizens from city of Weimar. I’m mostly interested to know where I could see these human skin lampshades, shrunken heads where hair still grows and ashtray made from human pelvis.
I emailed Buchenwald museum years ago and they didn’t know. They provided me a link from their website, which states that human skin lampshade is fake: https://www.buchenwald.de/en/geschichte/themen/dossiers/menschliche-ueberreste/kleiner-lampenschirm
yeah okay, holocaust denial bot
Your assumptions are worse than your arguments lol
as if i was arguing or otherwise discussing the veracity of the event, when you chimed in with “skin lampshades are fake!”.
i’m not taking your rage-bait, loser….
hey guess what? your life sucks because of you and you alone, and not because of jews or any other racial excuse you’ve chosen to cling onto…
I hope all those „be careful around windows in russia” jokes made you laugh because this is your reality now.
Has been for a few decades at least, but now the targeting is more random.
The real differences are that the scope is massively expanded and they’ve stopped trying to hide it. Now they’re just doing it out in the open.
Bold of you to think I live in the USA. I’ll keep making Russian window jokes, but now I need a good USA one too, hmmm…
I propose: Don’t leave your fridge open in the US.
