      No it doesn’t.

      The resistance has already been steamrolled. Everyone who thought they’d “rise up” didn’t. They’ve given up.

      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.

        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.

      There are still things you can do that will drastically help.

      1. 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.
      2. 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.
      3. 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
      • 🇬🇷 Greece: ESE
      • 🇮🇹 Italy: USI
      • 🇳🇱 🇧🇪 Netherlands & Belgium: Vriji Bond
      • 🇪🇸 Spain: CNT
      • 🇸🇪 Sweden: SAC
      • 🇬🇧 United Kingdom: UVW
      1. 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.
