Early Picture of the Florida Concentration Camp

One of my Canadian friends called it "Alligator Auschwitz". I think we should all call it that exclusively and incessantly.

And just like that, conservatives have brought us back to some of the most disgusting times in history.

Conservatives: Making America Great again

"Oh nice, we've discovered new photos of the WWII concentration camps for Japanese Americans."
- I feel absolutely sick to my stomach.
- It sickens me that we've not only gotten here, but we managed to do it quickly enough that there's a living public figure who survived those camps
This is the absolute worst time to be vindicated in your "radical end of the world" predictions. I hope everyone who said people were "just overreacting" are welcoming the leopards into their homes with smiling faces.
Their definition of great has always been when slavery is still allowed.
Making Holocaust great again

More like Alligator Auschwitz

fucking disgrace, all these just to detain migrants. Meanwhile in Wisconin in 2020, a white kid shooting 3 black men gets off scot free. I forgot his name, the chubby kid with a puchable face.

found it, kyle fucking rittenhouse. Jesus that case made my blood boiled.
- Hate to break it to you, but everyone involved in that case was white. They also over charged trying to make an example of him due to the media circus.
- If it's any consolation, he has no education, no job prospects, and is getting pushed out of the conservative talk show circuit. He will be destitute soon (if he isn't already).
Maybe not just migrants, Trump was literally quoted as saying something like "even some people born here are not so great, that might be the next step." And other officials have already hinted at mechanisms for stripping citizenship from US born people that "pose a threat to the US".
remember the white guy that shot up a bunch of asian massage parlors, and they call it "he was having a bad day"

The Nazis used wood. Other than that, I don't see much difference here.

Wait, "alamy" claims ownership of the picture?! As in monetizing the fucking Holocaust!?
And gave them windows. Trump doesn't even give his victims that much

$45 billion more given to ICE with the bill passed in the senate today. Your taxes going towards (more) ethnic cleansing. They want to strip citizenship from anyone who doesn’t kiss their ass and throw them in these cages. Next step after that will be “lending” the imprisoned for labor.

Any American who doesn’t have “abolish and defund ICE” at the top of their priority list is aiding and abetting fascists.

Minor correction - the bill passed today increases it's overall operating budget by $175B to over $200B total. ICE will become the third most funded armed forces in the world just behind China. $45B is earmarked for camps.
- There's about 10M undocumented immigrants in the u.s. This is about $20k each. They're not just going after immigrants.
- wtf. It’s almost ENTIRE Chinese army budget ($246 billion). And china has aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines! It’s a budget for a new army
- They have to be exterminated. Arm up.
- its
200b This is insane amount of money. They're gearing up for something huge.
They knew the military wouldn't fight civilians, because it has a command structure, but ice will
They actually edited to bill so it has to go back to the house again to pass there before it’s law. There’s a chance of it failing with how close the first was but it’s still pretty slim.

God. The wet-bulb temperatures in August alone are going to murder everyone they send to that concentration camp.

I think the alligators are just a distraction from the fact that they are setting these people up to die in a hurricane or violent storm event. If not just the heat like you said
- Trump canceled hurricane season by turning off the monitoring software. Can't have em if you don't track em!
  /s
- Alligators make for great food recyclers.
Eventually, concentration camps always turn into death camps.
They are already dying.

Starting to look like those 3rd world countries we've seen pictures of our whole lives.

Welcome to the future conservatives want.

This is why you don't do dipshit things like vote 3rd party or abstain from voting as a form of protest when so much is on the line.

The bigger issue is that somewhere near half the US is OK with this. Sure, maybe some people could have done more to prevent it. But, there were also untapped voters on the other side who fully supported this kind of thing, but were too lazy to vote.
The US is in a crisis not because of who is in charge, but because roughly half the population supports this kind of thing. It could be that some of them are actually not horrible people, it's just that they've been misled by Fox News, right-wing echo chambers, and other sources of information that have blinded them to the truth. But, a lot of them are gleeful participants in this new world, and will fully support it until they're the ones being sent to the camps.
- It's hard to believe that any level of watching fox news would make a healthy decent person okay with literal concentration camps
- Somewhere between 30-40 percent of the population doesn't vote, so if it's any consolation it's only about 30 percent who are for this. Not even factoring those who are so propagandized that they basically exist in a different reality and have no clue what the fuck is going on.
- Seeing this I think now it's more than half the US.
  Probably they'll point at this and say "finally, a politician that does what he promises, I should vote for him next time"
People are just dumb, plain and simple. So when the vote forces you to choose between far right politics, and far right politics+racism+shaking up a broken system, I can sympathize with why they voted for a third party, or even why they voted for shake up the system.
What I don't understand is the smaller group of dipshits, who don't understand even the basics of causality. Who will shout to whoever will listen that Donald Trump is the fault of that small group of third party voters, and not ENTIRELY the responsibility of the Dems being ineffective, woe is me, deep right, billionaire agenda, pretend to care but do nothing, pieces of useless shit that they are, so much so that an orange conman won the election. Stop fucking pretending the that the choice between cutting off your dick, and cutting off your dick and eating it, are valid enough choices that your typical uninformed, heavily propagandized voter, should definitely have obviously chose cutting off their dick but not eating it.
Lets not even get into the fact that the GOP can only be this extremely far right because the Dems have themselves moved so far right that the rubber band between them doesn't have to stretch barely at all.
But yeah lets blame the third party voters.
- But yeah lets blame the voters.
  I am. And will continue to do so.
  Our government is a reflection of our electorate. If some dumb assholes who have never bothered looking up the voting history of both parties and the economic trends related to both parties and the criminal conviction history of both parties so they can see that one option is way, way, way, way, way, way better than the other, then I'm going to call them dumb assholes, because they are. Especially if those dumb assholes continue being dumb assholes while one party is openly embracing fascism, to the point they even publicize a fucking fascist manifesto leading up to an election.
  Politicians lie. They will continue to lie....forever. It is 100% the responsibility of voters to do their due diligence and do their fucking homework, and vote intelligently. If not, then they will lose their democracy, which appears to be the direction we're heading.
  Anyone who isn't a dumb asshole knew that there was exactly 0% chance a 3rd party could win, so logic states you vote for the option that is best. And again, if you do your homework, one of those options is absolutely better than the other and that has been proven beyond doubt to us every single day since Jan 20.
- not gonna lie, this really make the US look like its now an authoritarian regime, especially from the outside. Not sure what would be the benefit for the US on that
Not voting is extremely dipshit. That contributes to outcomes by over an order of magnitude more than third party voters do. We get into theses shitty situations by always compromising. First and foremost everyone should be in favor and push for ranked choice voting. That empowers voters and cuts down the power of party machines. I'm convinced it's one of the most powerful forces for restoring something that resembles democracy. I'll always stand behind people supporting candidates that support their interests the most as long as they have made the effort to make sure their candidate has their best interests in mind.

For anybody wondering: Yes they got merch!

WTF America...

I just read what you linked. $450 million annually for 5000 people. Isn't that 90 000 per person per year ?
- Literally would be cheaper to just give people ubi
- $1000/yr to rent a bunk in a tent and 3 bowls of gruel per day. $89000 into the bosses pockets.
- Yeah incarceration is big business and we lose tons and tons of tax money just keeping people alive in buildings against their will. Thats sorta the point I bet, that aside it looks so much like a commercial chicken coop.
- The best accountants.
- Australia spends $4m per year, per person to lock refugees up in Nauru, and $3.5m per person, per year on Christmas island

Without early warning systems, they’ll be hit by an ‘unexpected’ hurricane soon enough. The rising floodwaters will penetrate the cells more easily this way.

That is an interesting point, but they'll just leave prisoners in the cells to die like they did in Katrina.
Free cleaning, or something.
The rising floodwaters will penetrate the cells
...and bring the 'gators.
There, no evidence.
Send like an unnecessary complication over using zyklon-b
Gotta rinse up before birdf flu.

The people doing this are evil. What can I do, I’m trapped in NYC by a job I can’t leave, and I have a family, so I’m not going to be a guerilla… but I give it 3 months before idiots on the right start posting their Florida gas chambers

At some point people are going to start having to risk their comfortable lives to resist
- Being trapped by a job does not sound like a life of comfort. Leaving my job would mean being flat broke in two weeks and then starving. If you work paycheck to paycheck, you literally cannot afford to risk your lifestyle to resist.
- I really don't think Americans will be taking up arms against this, certainly not en masse.
- Yup.
  Start buying firearms and ammo and training now.
  You don't want to be behind the curve when it starts.
- The germans didn't, the allies had to fight their way across europe
they'll do slavery then gas chambers for those who can't work due to injury, exhaustion, and malnutrition
There are still things you can do that will drastically help.
find local communities and get involved to make connections, this is essential, as resisting alone without a community makes you much less effective, and easier to suppress. Any real resistance requires community.
We can effect things drastically with a general strike. This targets the establishment's income streams, and can bring a fascist government to its knees if done on a large enough scale.
Contact a union and attempt to unionize your workplace so that the general strike is even more effective (plus, ya know, better pay and working conditions as a bonus!)
This method would not only work in the US, but anywhere in the world.
Union Suggestions:
🌍 Global: IWW (Français) - (Español)
🇦🇷 Argentina: FORA
🇦🇺 Australia: ASF-IWA
🇧🇷 Brazil: FOB
🇧🇬 Bulgaria: ARS, CITUB
🇩🇪 Germany: FAU

Continuing to participate in publicly visible resistance demonstrations like 50501 (the next one is July 17th) to encourage others to stand up with you and prove to that there are millions of others who will join them in the fight. A large part of Nazi Germany's success in taking over the country was a lack of massive public demonstrations against the new regime, making people feel helpless and afraid to take a stand.
If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Look at how effective these methods were when used in Chile in 2019.. If we completely reject the political system and rebel on a mass scale, there is NOTHING they can do to stop us.
Ask yourself: What would you want a Russian, Israeli or a German in 1940 would do...
- Russia in 1940s helped the nazis. So you dont even need to take modern russia

We have a better A name to describe it than Alcatraz.

I haven't heard anyone say Alligator Auschwitz yet, but at the rate we're going it might be appropriate.
Edit: Ah I'm too late, I saw it further down
- They beat me to it many hours ago. I hope it catches on because that's sure as hell what I'm calling it.

If you wanna see how “great” a society is just look at how they treat their prisoners and the animals they eat.

the animals they eat
- Solyent Green here we come!
Why would I care specifically about the animals that prisoners eat?
- No not that, you can see how great a society is by the way they treat their prisoners and how they treat the animals they eat. Meaning the society as a whole is rotten due to how they treat things that they believe they are better than.

Evil. I fucking hate how I'm living through a major historical event like this

Concentration camps

So many fake Christian’s are going to burn in hell. I’m here for that tea.

Unfortunately hell is a mind construct and they are most likely to just be gone after death with no punishment whatsoever.
That's the one thing perhaps that's sad about religion being made up by humans instead of being something real
- Punishment in an afterlife always seemed like a petty human idea to me. Better for people to gain true understanding of why what they did was wrong and how it hurt others. Supernatural abilities are available, and the system set up is to just punish people? Very small-minded.
Unfortunately, religion is wide enough for interpretation, that one can use it to justify all kinds of horrid things in the name of it.
- It's almost as though it was created for that purpose
So many fake Christian’s are going to burn in hell.
Or they would if it was real.
- Yup.
  The only suffering they're going to do is here on Earth if we choose to hold them accountable for their actions.
- Don't worry, we are making it real!
If you think these thugs should be punished for this heinous shit, it's your job to make sure it happens in this life. Hoping for karma or divine justice is wishful thinking, and worse, a cop-out to excuse inaction.
- I’ll do what’s needed when the response begins. More states need to mobilize to thwart this shit.
I'd rather they burn before they die, tbh. in the scorching heat ofc, of a detainment camp
'Fake' Christian just means any Christian that doesn't believe what you do. Christianity is great at dividing people and creating prejudice, bias and fear.
Look out, here come's an 's!

Amen.
No it doesn’t.
The resistance has already been steamrolled. Everyone who thought they’d “rise up” didn’t. They’ve given up.
- How do you imagine this ends? Does the US become pro-humanity in the next 50 years? 100??

Soon the showers get installed. And we all know how that goes.

I wonder which members of the GOP personally profited from these being built.

Do they have to give some fucking stupid name to everything like some 5 year olds? I can't stand we have the shittiest, dumbest people in charge.

I'm pretty sure it's light-weight psyops. Gitmo got a cutesy name as well. Anyone not directly part of the silly walks ministerium doesn't give a nickname to something so serious.
- Its a psyop to make media choose for fake ai, high click rate images Rather then real pictures:
  3 ai pictures used by “news” sites:
  Real picture below for comparison, shows the people who made the above do know what the tents look like.
  Also its “build on a runway”, makes you “think” they are using it as temporary place before being deported by plane but no the tents are build ON the runway
- You are honestly overcomplicating it. It's not a psyop, it's marketing and PR. Evil is terribly banal; it doesn't take mustache-twirling villains, only average people who are willing to do whatever they need to do to avoid being in trouble themselves.
  They need "Alligator Alcatraz" because Republicans figured out 25 years ago that a catchy name goes farther than anything more serious. It is why "Obamacare" is still reviled to this day, despite near unanimous support for the ACA. Nancy Pelosi shutting down Walz for his "weird" label was perhaps the biggest unforced error in political history.
I mean, Alligator Auschwitz would probably be more apt anyway.

Yeah for being in the Florida Everglades that doesn't even look air conditioned. Cages aside.

when this is over, could we use this to house all the ICE thugs and MAGA politicians?

The Weimar Republic isn't coming back, my friend.

The Simpsons should live in one of these now to reflect the changing times.

The fucking mosquitoes. Cruel and unusual.

Hey whatever happened to cruel and unusual anyway???

Do it enough and it's not unusual anymore.
5 to 4
Cruelty is the point and they are working hard to make it usual.
It's a blueprint now.
The proper thing for Americans to do is arm up and raid it.
They won't.

This is all the right hand puppet's fault. I prefer the left hand puppet.

Simpsons predicts the future again
I prefer a completely different puppeteer with a better selection of more reasonable, compassionate puppets.

Is there any air conditioning in these units??? Jesus fucking Christ it’s the Florida’s Everglades. They are trying to kill people through heat exhaustion

They are trying to kill people through heat exhaustion
That's a risk they're willing to take (with other people's lives)

What do thé showers look like?

like they'd dispense Zyklon B

These fucking things are held together with zip ties. Jesus Christ. It's both evil and at the same time incompetent.

There are rednecks with guns hoping for an excuse. So it's just plain evil.
I mean there's no fucking roof either and those beds are 3/4 of the height of it, I think they've been watching too much Squid Games. Actually maybe there is a roof.
These fucking things are held together with zip ties
so are the hands of the detainees!

If I lived in Florida I'd be doing everything I could to burn that place to the ground. Damn the consequences

Just start spreading a rumour it's made of meth ..
- It actually does double as a drug storage facility.
It's chain link. How's it going to burn?
- Drones and a shitload of thermite. Same as everything else.
- Anything burns if the fire is hot enough.
I believe the solution is flooding...

Looks exactly as I visualized the first chunk of the book I Who Have Never Known Men

Ugh, I have that linoleum in my house.

That's a good choice, I bet it hides dirt really well.
- At first glance, I thought it was dirt.
- Meh its super ugly and i did not install it.

Cant get tired of saying: TOLD YOU SO!

This years Fyre festival looking neat.

How often will they let alligators roam? Really dark times we're in. I can't believe how much I took for granted.

I was just thinking yesterday how much we've taken for granted. It's going away soon, so the psychopaths can pursue transhumanism and pointless trips to planets with no air or water.

Well, it's not the worst concentration camp, but I'd rather be in a POW one.

Somehow the amenities look worse than concentration camps from the 40s.
Monkey Paw: Wish granted, you are now in an Isreal IDF run camp for suspicion of being a Hammas Insurgent .
Good luck
- Israel: puts food out for the Palestinians to eat
  Palestinians: goes and gets the food
  Israel: "what the fuck?"
It's interesting how words change. These kinds of camps have always been bad, but the term "concentration camp" was initially chosen to make it seem benign. The idea was that it's not a prison camp, it's not a detainment camp, they're merely "concentrating" people there. Then, in WWII, the term became associated with Nazi death camps.
What's different this time around is that although the government doesn't want people to think "death camp", they're gleefully promoting the idea that they will be incredibly unpleasant. Torture maybe, but not death.
But, in truth, death is likely. Cramped living conditions in a swamp in the summer in Florida? People are going to die.
Actual PoW camps were much, much more pleasant. They had to abide by the Geneva Conventions.

That'll be tree fitty... million dollars

Ugh, I need to find more ammo.

DEATH CAMP!

This is fucked, yall, for real.

They have to be exterminated. You HAVE the 2A

The first time as tragedy, the second time as farce.

Reminds me of Scarface

As horrible as this is, those are fences with plastic zip ties. That won’t keep them very long.

Yes, the gestapo that will murder anyone who does something they don't like will be the main deterrent.
- Or the gators.
If you think we are all safe because of some plastic zip ties then I have bad news for you.
- I think you missed my point.

Sad inevitability: if a Democrat somehow manages to win in 2028, they will not close these facilities. In fact, they will expand them.

Kind of disagree. The only way the Democrats can win in 2028 is by making sure there is a fair election. That requires them to actually fight the Republicans. So any Democrats who can actually win the 2028 election would have to be much further to the left.
- Maybe they won't win. But it's inevitable that the leading Democratic candidate will have a position on immigration just as far right as Trump's. Trump will of course be more performatively cruel about it. The Democrat won't want to make big shows out of torturing innocent people. But they won't actually want to defund ICE, to decrease the number of ICE agents, or to close any of these facilities. ICE funding has only gone up and up and up, regardless of what party is running things.
- much further to the left.
  In the US? Won't win. Not via an election anyway.
No need to worry about anything. Republicans aren't giving up power regardless of what happens in 2028.

if you contribute to USD economy you are part of the nazi problem too

If you live in a country that trades with America, you are part of the problem.
In fact, every minute you spent posting your stupid comment instead of fighting the great Satan means you are a Nazi sympathizer and want to see children die.
- well, yes, funding the US helps them.
  everybody should be doing what they can to leave the US behind. let them fend for themselves. It's not going to be quick, but we can work towards it.
- You joke, but the great Satan is a correct term here. Actually, if there really is a God somehow, then the antichrist would be whoever is behind Trump. Trump himself being kind of...too stupid to be the Anti-christ.
  Maybe Vance is the anti-christ?
are US dollars even safe anymore... it looks like the value is artificially on life support from the FED interest rates, it already dropped like 20% on value or so. so when they start lowering the interest rates on the debt, who knows how low it's gonna get... not to mention the additional tariffs. I definitely wont put my money in the US
