The link to the Panama concentration camp article is explicit and nauseating. Y'all, it’s a concentration camp, right down to the cages and lack of food and shelter.

The USA officially has concentration camps. And since Trump has revoked the visas of international college students and immigrants who came in legally under a policy set in motion by Biden, he is preparing to put anyone and everyone in those 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. 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.

The question is: Who do they intend to put in that new facility, which is far from any oversight by the media or the courts. It's in fucking Cuba, which is controlled by...well, you get it.

I was a victim of the recent Reddit bloodbath, with a 12 year/ 900K+ karma account. Clearly, they reviewed my high-volume posting account, and they know how I feel about them, and the punishments they have earned. I expect that at some point, there is a pretty good chance I'll be getting a free vacation to Cuba.

Cuba does not want them there. They want the US out of Guantanamo and have for a long time.

Basically the US-friendly pre-revolution government gave the US a perpetual lease to the land. After the revolution the Communist government wanted them out but they don't really have the military power to force them. The US still sends them checks (which they don't cash) for whatever pittance the old agreement listed so they can claim it's "legal". That territory is completely under US oversight, there is no land connection to it.

Don't blame Cuba. They're cool, and if you ever get a chance to visit you definitely should. It was very cheap when I went. Cheap flight from Miami and very cheap Airbnb in downtown Old Havana. Beautiful, safe, and full of history and kind people.

To be fair, the US has had concentration camps for hundreds of years (starting in the 1830s for holding natives)

It's out in the open is what is new.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Yes. I suppose I should add this: modern-day, “average” Americans have been fed the false narrative of American greatness and equality of opportunity their entire lives. This particular concentration camp flies in the face of that narrative and is living, breathing proof that the USA is a violent, racist country obsessed with the “in group=humans” and “out-group=animals” ideology.

And the horrors of this camp and a bit of the cognitive dissonance between that false narrative and the reality of what is happening cause nausea.

also any internationals criticizing BIBI's government too.

This here is the most compelling argument that you know tmurp has no religion, or perhaps his soul is already spoken for?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Why would him having a religion make any difference?

I was unsuccessfully implying that people responsible for creating and shipping people to concentration camps likely wouldn't need to worry about picking out prime real estate in the good place
