They have to be exterminated. You HAVE the 2A

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

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

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 week ago

Eventually, concentration camps always turn into death camps.

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

The fucking mosquitoes. Cruel and unusual.

Hey whatever happened to cruel and unusual anyway???

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

The proper thing for Americans to do is arm up and raid it.

They won't.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

Do it enough and it's not unusual anymore.

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.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago

I mean, Alligator Auschwitz would probably be more apt anyway.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

It’s ~~not~~ a psyop, it’s also marketing and PR.

Marketing and PR are psyops too. It is very important to those in power that you don't think badly of them. Psychology is really at the root of marketing and PR.

In case anyone want's to read up, wikipedia link to "the father of public relations".

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

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It's chain link. How's it going to burn?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Anything burns if the fire is hot enough.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Drones and a shitload of thermite. Same as everything else.

It actually does double as a drug storage facility.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Gotta rinse up before birdf flu.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 week ago

That is an interesting point, but they'll just leave prisoners in the cells to die like they did in Katrina.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Free cleaning, or something.

$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.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 79 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

Minor correction - the bill passed today increases its 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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

They have to be exterminated. Arm up.

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

There's about 10M undocumented immigrants in the u.s. This is about $20k each. They're not just going after immigrants.

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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?"

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago

Somehow the amenities look worse than concentration camps from the 40s.
