    It’s not that difficult to build a concentration camp with shitty cots, inadequate facilities, and hazardousness as a feature built in on nearly unlivable land in the Everglades.

    It likely is slightly more difficult to build housing for homeless people unless you’re trying to build death trap, concentration camp housing for them as well.

      Yeah, I get the point they’re trying to make, but this is a pretty silly comparison. It’s like “oh, so you can eat a 6” sub but not an 18" pizza? Pff, fake hunger".

      Just you wait, I’m sure that’s in the works too.

      That’s assuming IF there ever was a push to build things like this to help homeless they WOULDNT find a way to make it look as inhumane as possible.

    Imagine how quickly they can build these concentration camps for all of us who don’t fall in line

    Daily reminder to all ICE agents. By signing up for ICE, you have signed yourself up for a lifetime of fear and criminal liability. There are Nazi concentration camp guards that were tried for their crimes in their 90s. There is no statute of limitations on crimes against humanity. Your names are recorded; your deeds are known. And you will face justice for your crimes.

    I want every Democratic politician to be repeating this every chance they get, a modern day “Carthage must be destroyed.” My greatest fear is that when this is done, and Democrats are eventually back in power, that they will fall back on the same suicidal tendencies that got us here in the first place. Obama came into power on the back of the criminal Bush administration, and his first act of office was to declare “it’s time to move on,” and to announce that no members of the prior regime would be prosecuted. And Biden did the same after the first Trump term. We need to be willing to hold people accountable. And we need to be talking about this now. We need to fully embrace the idea of prosecuting ICE agents for their crimes against humanity. We cannot declare it’s time to move on and to let them get away with what they have done.

    And no, “I’m just following orders” is not an excuse. Anyone who says that deserves to hang.

      Yes, but that needs that we actually win, and not just be in the period of the slow death of the “free world” and the “rules based world order”, instead of heading towards a dark age of globalized neofascism and neocoloinalism.

      Yeah but in a country dumb enough to elect Donald Trump twice? And before that Joe Biden? Obama? Bush? TWICE. BOTH BUSHES. Maybe a bit harsh to throw Obama in there, because the other options were bleak too.

      This needs to be (if it isn’t already) a copypasta that finds its way onto every post and comment board concerning ICE and the current administration’s barbarous acts towards people who’s only crime was not being a white person who was born here.

        I suppose I should add to this, “and do not count on a blanket pardon saving you. Crimes against humanity are violations of international law that cannot be pardoned.”

        the nuremberg trials were a joke. only 22 people were tried and it was more of a political show to show to their own soldiers who fought hard that they were doing something about the nazis, while actually they abducted a lot of the scientists and made them work for themselves.

        i wish there had been actually meaningful trials. but i guess the ruling class is never gonna punish itself.

    Not just for the homeless, people in North Carolina are literally STILL FINDING BODIES, living in tents and cars, and can’t swim in any river or lake due to run off pollution

    This just shows the government is fine killing us via exposure to the elements

      Your food too. The more I learn about American food production the happier I am that I have never set foot in the states. Way before all this crazy shit started happening, I already had many issues with the idea of visiting the country and one of the main ones was that I really didn’t want to eat any of the food or drinking any of the water over there. They are literally poisoning you guys your whole lives.

        Glyphosate, DDT, lead, mercury are huge issues in the US. Imo mercury is the biggest issue with what is happening in NC because that’s all old gold mining territory and back in the 1800s they used mercury extensively to extract gold (severely poisoning the water supply and imo to this day it impacts us). But there’s ofc lead in buckshot, and all the houses and cars that washed away had tons of different materials, oil, gas, MDF, etc etc

        Corporations wont let us (via lobbying) have Medicare for All - because that would detect cancer (and toxins) and allow us to class action sue companies for them. Can’t sue if it was never detected. Thats why they find carcinogens and lead in kids’ products so much - their products dont have more lead in them, but kids all can be on Medicaid and that catches it. Flint, MI, water poisoning was detected by a kid on Medicaid.

        They don’t want us to all have healthcare because that is public science and it will absolutely detect what theyve been lying and poisoning us with. It would probably destroy all the big companies like Nestle, Johnson&Johnson, Colgate, etc…

        Yeah, don’t blame you for not coming here.

    This is what conservatives are. Don’t forget it. They will always choose performative cruelty. It’s built into the very core of their diseased culture.

    “The director tells me it could have been done in 72 hours if we were allowed to make it even more inhumane / unsafe”

      Don’t forget to make the working conditions inhumane and unsafe for the workers building the place! That could probably shave off a few hours, too!

        Honestly, if you build or work at a place like this, you deserve to die. If you’re a guard at a concentration camp, I hope you die quickly. You don’t deserve to live.

    Where are they going to deport all our homeless poor to?

    Remember? Those people who used to have homes like the one you could have possibly purchased? Perhaps a homeless person used to live in your house at some point in time? Maybe they lost their job, income or became ill or had an accident?

    They could be any color. But since they haven’t showered, maybe they look brown? Does that mean they can just be deported?
