    I don’t suppose anyone thought of humane conditions while building a concentration camp in a Florida swamp. Even prisoners deserve something to control the heat, the humidity, the mosquitoes, or were causing yet more needless deaths

    And yes, employees overseeing obviously inhumane conditions should absolutely face justice for those illnesses and deaths

      Even Especially prisoners deserve something to control the heat.

      part of the problem is that so many are OK with these concentration camps because they believe criminals deserve whatever happens to them in prison.

      if people stopped indulging that false dichotomy between criminal and upstanding citizen, we might not be seeing such a large-scale kidnapping.

    Housing the homeless: I sleep

    Build a concentration camp: real shit

    This is the first Lemmy meme I’ve seen that’s been deep fried compared to how I saw it on Reddit.

    There’s no brainrot underline on the other version.

    There is no profit in sheltering the homeless. Those ICE camps are all the rage amongst investors … particularly private equity firms. Private equity firms will do literal evil to make a few dollars.

    The absurd irony of all these “Good Christians” testing the limits of their own religion’s capacity to incarcerate hypocrites, liars, and golden idol worshipers in a hell they would certainly end up in after they die.

    Why would literally anyone want to live in a concentration camp for any reason. The streets seem way better than this.

    It’s not that difficult to build a concentration camp with shitty cots, inadequate facilities, and hazardousness as a feature built in on nearly unlivable land in the Everglades.

    It likely is slightly more difficult to build housing for homeless people unless you’re also trying to build death trap, concentration camp housing for them as well.

      Yeah, I get the point they’re trying to make, but this is a pretty silly comparison. It’s like “oh, so you can eat a 6” sub but not an 18" pizza? Pff, fake hunger".

      Just you wait, I’m sure that’s in the works too.

    Daily reminder to all ICE agents. By signing up for ICE, you have signed yourself up for a lifetime of fear and criminal liability. There are Nazi concentration camp guards that were tried for their crimes in their 90s. There is no statute of limitations on crimes against humanity. Your names are recorded; your deeds are known. And you will face justice for your crimes.

    I want every Democratic politician to be repeating this every chance they get, a modern day “Carthage must be destroyed.” My greatest fear is that when this is done, and Democrats are eventually back in power, that they will fall back on the same suicidal tendencies that got us here in the first place. Obama came into power on the back of the criminal Bush administration, and his first act of office was to declare “it’s time to move on,” and to announce that no members of the prior regime would be prosecuted. And Biden did the same after the first Trump term. We need to be willing to hold people accountable. And we need to be talking about this now. We need to fully embrace the idea of prosecuting ICE agents for their crimes against humanity. We cannot declare it’s time to move on and to let them get away with what they have done.

    And no, “I’m just following orders” is not an excuse. Anyone who says that deserves to hang.

      This needs to be (if it isn’t already) a copypasta that finds its way onto every post and comment board concerning ICE and the current administration’s barbarous acts towards people who’s only crime was not being a white person who was born here.

        I suppose I should add to this, “and do not count on a blanket pardon saving you. Crimes against humanity are violations of international law that cannot be pardoned.”

      Yeah but in a country dumb enough to elect Donald Trump twice? And before that Joe Biden? Obama? Bush? TWICE. BOTH BUSHES. Maybe a bit harsh to throw Obama in there, because the other options were bleak too.

    if the U.S was to ethically and legally house the homeless it would cost much more because criminals, the homeless, as well as some other outgroups are the only groups whose dehumanization is legal, meaning that to ethically house (and therefore humanize) them would be much more expensive as humans require more than just cages to live.

    i agree with the tweet though, im just saying that the homeless can and should be provided with adequate housing and that we can and should imagine and work towards better then cages for our future.

    Sure, they can provide quick housing for the homeless… As long as your standards are “puppy mill” or “chicken farm”.
