Call it what it is: American Auschwitz
- Alligator Auschwitz.
- Let's collectively remember that Hitler was inspired by the colonisers of the Americas and their methods of destroying the population of natives so they could move in. America is the inspiration for concentration camps. Not Nazi Germany.
  Reading material: A Brief History of US Concentration Camps
  The country was borne of blood and cruelty, superiority complex and genocide, and the current administration are keen to restore that brutality.
  
  Germany can still be an input as it is more recent, even if it isn't the original source.
- Eh, not yet. We're probably looking more at Dachau for a few months at least.
  
  Crocodachau?
  
  Can you elaborate on the distinction you're making?
there are too many people actively cheering these concentration camps
- Is that a quote from c.1940?
  
  c. 2025
  Unfortunately
It's The Everglades Concentration Camp.
We should not call this what they want us to call it. Do Not Comply. Resist and speak the truth!
I hope we on Lemmy and elsewhere can start a trend of refusing to parrot their bullshit talking points and speak the Truth instead of spreading their propaganda for them.
I hate that the media and the public immediately parrots whatever 1984-speak terminology they roll out, letting them define the narrative and pacify people to accept their atrocities as normal.
(Likewise, it's not the "big beautiful bill", it's the "Kill Americans to Pay Billionaires" bill. January 6 was not a "protest by patriots", but an armed insurrection, etc. etc. etc.)

FFS, didn't take long for you guys to get something better than his fucking wall: proper concentration camps! And those seem much more realistic and affordable this time around. Every Americans will be paying for them and sadly could end up there if they don't walk the line.
Better use that 2nd amendment quick before they take that away too. Trump was already clear that he does not support guns and started getting mental health tied to gun control.
I was speaking with some locals from central Washington state and they believe one is to be built there as well. Omak area somewhere.
Dear Trump Administration: nobody asked for a remake of the holocaust. Come up with something original
How bad are Americans going to let it get before they do something? Will they finally realize they should stand up for what's right when they're being pushed into the cell?
- if you think there are no Americans doing anything, you aren't paying attention
  
  If Americans were doing "something", DC would be burning to the ground already like in 1812. The French would have destroyed Paris by now. They have for much less.
  
  Walking down the street with a sign isn't going to stop fascists.
  
  Cute little parades don’t count.
  No Americans are doing anything that matters.
- It's still america. As long as gas is cheap and the factory meat is flowing, how bad can a little concentration camp be?
I literally have no idea what this is. And I'm on leftist site often.
- I too am on leftist site, fellow human.
  
  Yea cut the shit. This isn't Reddit. That's idiotic
- Did you try reading the article?
  
  Nope and I'm the average do you think the average person is reading all these articles every day. I got shit to do
