    They’re still sanitizing what it is. To most USians, internment camps were just a silly little mistake we made during WWII.

    Call them concentration camps because that is their intended purpose, and that is a much more emotionally charged term.

    When hurricane season comes, all these people will be washed away and everyone responsible will shrug and say “how could we have seen this coming?” Media and politicians will call it “gross negligence” at worst, ignoring the fact that it was the plan all along.

      Honestly hadn’t even thought about the hurricanes but you’re so damn right.

      Ugh.

        Letting nature work its course is cheaper than gas chambers. This is absolutely by design.

          It also allows them to play denial. Much like how the average American thinks racism is wearing a kkk outfit and shouting slurs, Americans also believe it’s only a concentration camp if it has gas chambers and bulldozers carrying bodies. Otherwise you’re just an alarmist leftist.

          Right, I agree. Plausible deniability is viable here as well.

        She even mentioned maggots being in the food and it’s like yeah, this kind of shit has literally been going on in american prisons for DECADES now. It’s frustrating because I don’t want to detract from these people detained for nothing in inhumane conditions, but where have you been all this time?
