Concentration camp/torture camp.
Lots of people fantasize about what they might do if they had the opportunity to act to stop what was happening in WWII Germany but here we are.
All the big, strong, don’t-tread-on-me styled people just rolling on their backs and showing their bellies to fascism. What a time to be alive, at least Germans of the 1920s-30s didn’t have a direct case study to refer to.
Its worse in some ways, the US is a far bigger country. While the 3rd reich destroyed their economy under the repayment plans of WW1 The US seems to be committing a similar kind of economic suicide with absolutely zero pressure to do so.
My grandmother fought in the Dutch resistance, helped people who were Jewish escape, and was put in a camp. She died a few years ago. This is how that happened, too. And we’re all watching. Even with americas vaunted 2nd amendment, Russian-backed fascists just walked in and took over, and everyone is just watching them. No riots, no fighting back, just passive resistance.
I wish all of you the best of luck. I’m going to go hug my kids.
Don’t blame the Russian for what the US is doing. A country that spent years of committing war crimes and establishing laws that invade privacy, haunting down journalist and humanitarian, is destined to use that power to abuse their own people sooner or later regardless of foreign intervention.

Your grandmother sounds like a fucking hero
She really was. The war changed her forever, though. On her death bed she disavowed her lifelong Roman Catholicism, saying “No God would allow what I have seen and lived.”
Before that she was an absolute badass and had many dalliances with a man of the clergy, causing his expulsion from the order.
Russian-backed
USians try not to blame other countries for their own fascism challenge: impossible version
Fièrement pas tabarnak Américain, bien versé dans psyops Russes. Erreur facile à faire, vatnik.
Je ne sais pas pourquoi tu me parles en français. Me podrías hablar en español, oder auf Deutsch auch. I’m not a vatnik, fuck the capitalist modern Russian government, it’s actively oppressing people I hold very dear for being women or LGTBQ. I’m just fucking exhausted of Americans having to explain away fascism in their country in racist terms like “White Taliban” or “y’allqaida”.

Then why the fuck are you arguing against the reality that Trump is a manchurian candidate for Russia?! That Russia is spreading psyops online to agitate people in Canada, the US, Europe, etc, to vote Conservative? I’m not ‘blaming’ Russia, it’s a fact that Russia is causing a lot of this to happen. No-where did I assuage the US of any guilt, I just pointed out that Russian-backed fascists: Trump, Elon, the entire Republican party, just took over. They are literally backed by Russia, this is not some conspiracy or hand-waving, it’s reality. I didn’t use any racists terms, I didn’t shift focus to the middle east, I merely said, how fascism is happening in the US and blaming them for watching it happen. You’re strawman-ing with the ‘white taliban’/etc comments, you know damn well I didn’t say that.
Stop fucking helping them by parroting them. I know there’s an exhaustion in you, I have it too, but this isn’t how we do what you want.

I’m sure imprisoning 30000 innocent people next to highly trained terrorists won’t come back to haunt the US.

Doesn’t seem like misreporting. I found other sources reporting it too.
I sent a text to those I love in any capacity, even former coworkers who’ve probably deleted my number. Not a group text - one by one. I think it’d be prudent for all US readers to consider doing the same.
Knowing some of you are like me, in that you might not know how to word such a text to someone not expecting it from you, I offer you my copy/pasted text:
America has a concentration camp now. I won’t send you anything more…it’s kind of rude that I’m sending this one. https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/donald-trump-announces-plan-to-send-migrants-guantanamo-bay/
