Boycott US

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

I didn't think that we would be going into the death camp stage this quickly.

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 72 points 5 days ago

These are the death squads they warned us about with Obama. It is always projection every fucking time.

[–] Captain_Baka@feddit.org 51 points 5 days ago (1 children)

If this doesn't scream "concentration camp", I don't know what else will.

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 37 points 5 days ago (1 children)

We're past concentration camps, that's entering the death camp territory

As @Kynsey@lemmy.ml said, there were multiple types of camps, and the distinction is extremely important to make. Concentration camps are bad, death camps are magnitudes worse.

Those people, the costs. They should just die.”

Donald Trump said this in the Oval Office after a meeting on disability resources.

This whole article is from the onion, yes? Or maybe just totally misunderstood everything.

[–] NoForwadSlashS@piefed.social 33 points 5 days ago (2 children)

No, this is just present day USA when you actually analyze it.

Don't worry though, I'm sure the incinerator in the 100,000 person detention centre will only be used for medical waste like they say it will and they will happily bear the cost of deporting each and every person to country of origin.

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 34 points 5 days ago

Funny how they're not providing medical care, yet need to dispose of medical waste.

[–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 23 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Being a German whose grandparents... Well you know....this all rings certain bells. But present day? In plain sight? I can't even... Just testing to see when those dirty evil immigrants and lqbtqs leave by their own will?

I'd be so gone if I was in this situation. Mexico, Canada and more. All near. None can be worse.

This still reads like a mildly funny onion.

I desperately want to leave the country, but Canada doesn’t make it easy (which is an understatement) and despite growing up and living in Texas I don’t speak any Spanish. Mexico seems alright, but given the climate situation I don’t really want to move further south.

[–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Oh yeah right...the climate would kill me there. Europe is probably happily taking some sane muricans? Speaking English already at least doesn't leave you stranded anywhere. We mostly all speak or at least understand it.

If I could choose (and endure the horrible sounding languages) I'd pick Finland, denmark, Iceland (for the living - standards) or the Netherlands (if you like biking).

[–] rhymeswithduck@sh.itjust.works 15 points 5 days ago (2 children)

It's not an article, it's just someone's substack blog. Their only source about the incinerators in detention centers seems to be some Navy contract that they never actually quote from, probably because they later admit the document doesn't mention incinerators. So I don't think there's any actual evidence for this "crematorium network" yet. I don't doubt they want to do it, but let's get some receipts before screaming that it's actually happening.

[–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 days ago

I would really find that hard to believe, even for the current state the US is in. Whole story sounds fishy. But then again...I would've never thought such a silly clown could become a president of ANYTHING.

[–] fiat_lux@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 days ago

The documents on the government site. WEXMAC TITUS A0001 ELIN Spreadsheet SAM.xlsx has medical waste management as a line item under ELIN "AA1N".

It doesn't specifically say incinerators, and there are a few ways regulated medical waste is disposed of, but all methods of biohazardous medical waste treatment use heat. If it weren't intended for biohazardous waste, it would likely fall under one of the multiple other waste management line items.

I'm not sure if a network of camps with autoclaves or microwaves instead of crematoriums is any better.

first they came for the illegals and i said nothing...

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 32 points 5 days ago

What a weird way to say "extermination ovens."

They are going to need it for all their comrades once we are done with them.

Paul Celan - Todesfuge

Schwarze Milch der Frühe wir trinken sie abends wir trinken sie mittags und morgens wir trinken sie nachts wir trinken und trinken wir schaufeln ein Grab in den Lüften da liegt man nicht eng Ein Mann wohnt im Haus der spielt mit den Schlangen der schreibt der schreibt wenn es dunkelt nach Deutschland dein goldenes Haar Margarete er schreibt es und tritt vor das Haus und es blitzen die Sterne er pfeift seine Rüden herbei er pfeift seine Juden hervor läßt schaufeln ein Grab in der Erde er befiehlt uns spielt auf nun zum Tanz

Schwarze Milch der Frühe wir trinken dich nachts wir trinken dich morgens und mittags wir trinken dich abends wir trinken und trinken Ein Mann wohnt im Haus der spielt mit den Schlangen der schreibt der schreibt wenn es dunkelt nach Deutschland dein goldenes Haar Margarete Dein aschenes Haar Sulamith wir schaufeln ein Grab in den Lüften da liegt man nicht eng

Er ruft stecht tiefer ins Erdreich ihr einen ihr andern singet und spielt er greift nach dem Eisen im Gurt er schwingts seine Augen sind blau stecht tiefer die Spaten ihr einen ihr andern spielt weiter zum Tanz auf

Schwarze Milch der Frühe wir trinken dich nachts wir trinken dich mittags und morgens wir trinken dich abends wir trinken und trinken ein Mann wohnt im Haus dein goldenes Haar Margarete dein aschenes Haar Sulamith er spielt mit den Schlangen Er ruft spielt süßer den Tod der Tod ist ein Meister aus Deutschland er ruft streicht dunkler die Geigen dann steigt ihr als Rauch in die Luft dann habt ihr ein Grab in den Wolken da liegt man nicht eng

Schwarze Milch der Frühe wir trinken dich nachts wir trinken dich mittags der Tod ist ein Meister aus Deutschland wir trinken dich abends und morgens wir trinken und trinken der Tod ist ein Meister aus Deutschland sein Auge ist blau er trifft dich mit bleierner Kugel er trifft dich genau ein Mann wohnt im Haus dein goldenes Haar Margarete er hetzt seine Rüden auf uns er schenkt uns ein Grab in der Luft er spielt mit den Schlangen und träumet der Tod ist ein Meister aus Deutschland

dein goldenes Haar Margarete dein aschenes Haar Sulamith

Paul Celan - Death Fugue

Black milk of dawn, we drink it in the evening.

We drink it at noon and in the morning, we drink it at night.

We drink and drink.

We shovel a grave in the air, there one doesn't lie cramped.

A man lives in the house, he plays with the snakes, he writes.

He writes when it darkens to Germany, your golden hair, Margarete.

He writes it and steps before the house, and the stars flash. He whistles his hounds to him.

He whistles his Jews forth, has them shovel a grave in the earth.

He commands us, play now for the dance.

Black milk of dawn, we drink you at night.

We drink you in the morning and at noon, we drink you in the evening.

We drink and drink.

A man lives in the house, he plays with the snakes, he writes.

He writes when it darkens to Germany, your golden hair, Margarete.

Your ashen hair, Sulamith, we shovel a grave in the air, there one doesn't lie cramped.

He He calls, digs deeper into the earth, you one, you another, sing and play.

He reaches for the iron in his belt, he swings it, his eyes are blue.

Dig deeper, the spades, you one, you others, play on for the dance.

Black milk of dawn, we drink you at night.

We drink you at noon and in the morning, we drink you in the evening.

We drink and drink.

A man lives in the house, your golden hair, Margaret.

Your ashen hair, Sulamith, he plays with the snakes.

He calls, plays sweeter, death, death is a master from Germany.

He calls, strokes the violins darker, then you rise as smoke into the air.

Then you have a grave in the clouds, there you don't lie cramped.

Black milk of dawn, we drink you at night.

We drink you at noon, death is a master from Germany.

We drink you in the evening and in the morning, we drink and drink.

Death is a master from Germany, his eye is blue.

He hits you with a lead bullet, he hits you right.

A man lives in House, your golden hair, Margarete

He sets his hounds on us, he gives us a grave in the air

He plays with the snakes and dreams, death is a master from Germany

Your golden hair, Margarete Your ashen hair, Sulamith

Wow. This "article" is hard to read. Stream of consciousness rambling.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago

Thanks for the warning. I'll skip it.

Did I say death camps? I meant happy camps

This doesn't sound like 1930's Europe at all. You are in great track US.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 8 points 5 days ago

55 billion? Those numbers are so freaking ludicrous and meaningless that grift is very easy. Very, very easy indeed. Cost-accounting on that estimate would most likely tell you a completely different story.
