Internment Camps already?
Immigration detention centers have been around for a while now. Virtually all of them ran by private corporations. People rail against private prisons but they make up a tiny tiny minority of prisoners. Over 90% of immigration detention centers are privately owned.
So we're going to throw millions of people into camps so that a few corporations can extract a ton of public taxpayer money. They're also gonna stay there for years because it's logistically impossible to move over 10 million people quickly.
I didn't think fascism would happen again my lifetime. But I guess here we are
Moving them is expensive, just letting them die in poor conditions or working them to death is far cheaper... Seeing how it happened yet?
exactly. it escalates over time as things become normalized.
if there are 10 stages we're like at stage 3
in 2016 we were at stage 1. back then, Trump wouldn't dare have said "immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country" - that wouldn't have had a good reception back then. too on the nose. but you start with more subtle things and slowly you shift the overton window of what is and isn't socially acceptable
it's a treadmill and we're jogging
Expanding a camp that's already been there for over 20 years, yes.
