Yeah no viva Bukele

People saying "if you arrest all those gang members economy will collapse because even though they get their money from illicit activities they still spend it back into the economy"

Nayib Bukele "dude are you fucking stupid?" they arrested the violent criminals and the ones that organized themselves in violence promoting bands... and they GDP went up by like 5% I believe? mainly because honest working people didn't have to struggle against the villain.

Nah those pieces of shit are there for a reason, society and tolerance are a social contract... you respect it and you fall under it, you don't then you feck off.

ARRIBA BUKELE!!

Did you catch the words "without proof", and "without due process" in the OP? It would appear that these people pictured are innocent.

[-] drmoose@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

"Accused of being gang members" lmao let's be clear here 90% of these dudes literally have gang tattoos 🙈

Also you can cover tattoos at any time, it's not that hard.

[-] crapwittyname@lemm.ee 2 points 13 minutes ago

But they're innocent until there's proof of guilt. Sending people to forced labour encampments because of their tattoos is just a different nazi move.

[-] huppakee@lemm.ee 7 points 1 hour ago

Even if 99% of them are actually gang member, then there is still a bunch of innocent people locked up. Using the word 'accused' or 'suspected' isn't meant to cause doubt, it's to make clear they haven't been convicted. I really wouldn't want to be falsely accused and treated as these men are, and it's really awful knowing some of them could be there without having done anything wrong.

"innocent until proven to have tattoos"

[-] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Honestly, when I was a kid, one of my classmates dressed up like that and I'm pretty sure he would tag around the school. The kid was a trouble maker. But that doesn't mean much when I realized that he was homeless and his mom would still clean him up and send him to school.

Yes the Jews had tattoos too, some were put there after they got there. I suggest a public library to help yourself champ.

[-] slackassassin@sh.itjust.works 3 points 12 hours ago

Their comment was dumb, but comparing full body tattoos to id numbers tattooed on Holocaust victims is somehow dumber.

[-] tragicinfo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Seek a trash can and put your GED inside of it, then come back with something better.

You must have used your history book to color in.

[-] tragicinfo@lemmy.world 1 points 36 minutes ago* (last edited 34 minutes ago)

Perhaps your own history will be delightfully colored with attempts to get it right despite a debilitating lack of awareness.

[-] slackassassin@sh.itjust.works 1 points 23 minutes ago

Brb, gonna go check for full face and body tattoos at auschwitz. Damn, you're right they're all over there place. Mind blown.

Dachau didn't open until 3 months after Hitler took power. They are right on track.

You know what, it's fine. At least you'll be sitting in a lower ring of hell than me for laughing at this. 😌

Thanks to modern technology we can watch the whole thing unfold in real time!

fuck yeah, subcontracting out the concentration camps!

It seems this new technology is not much benefit in stopping it? Observers are great, powerless and disorganized ones not so much.

[-] SkyeStarfall 9 points 23 hours ago

Too many people live in willful ignorance

You can see the obvious big picture and scream from the rooftops, but everyone who is comfortable enough and in denial that things are actually that bad straight up just ignore you

It's only now that people are starting to get their wakeup calls, like a lot of Europe, for example

But god, if it isn't super frustrating to watch the local news in my European country and have politicians repeatedly say "nobody thought we would be standing here talking about this 4 years ago"

I did, fuckers! I did!! The fascist threat was obvious ever since the first trump presidency, and the trends could clearly be seen from even before then, however, I was a child at that time

I don't get it. Especially because politicians are supposed to be the experts in trends like this. Is everyone just fucking clueless??

I swear most people are just so neoliberal ideology brained, and heavily struggle seeing anything outside of that. It's been a massive failure on the part of society that political philosophy has not been a bigger part of the education curriculum. Or part of it, at all.

This sums it up nicely

[-] limer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 22 hours ago

I’m not sure how relevant this is outside the USA; but when I was helping build grassroots for social activism in Texas - I realized people had forgotten how! Their grandparents could, and did. I saw it as a child.

But something happened over two generations, and the knowledge was not handed down, or was not applicable when things changed so much .

I remember enough to know critical things in the community is missing. I suspect a major missing piece is that people stay indoors too much.

[-] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 4 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Same in Germany. I don't know what it is either but I'm convinced it's related to the loneliness epidemic among the younger generation. People have seemingly stopped connecting in meaningful ways in general. No more religion, no more sports teams, working from home and getting your social interaction fix through social media. I think all of this is seriously starting to take its toll.

It's a European tradition to spectate torture and execution for entertainment.

The picture on the left is from when the prison first opened, so won't show any of the deportees

[-] octopus_ink@slrpnk.net 13 points 1 day ago

Oh hell. OTOH, I'd imagine we have no reason to think it's looking better these days.

Still, thanks for the correction, I took that as I found it.

[-] DeusUmbra@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Remember kids, fascism only ends one way.

[-] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago

Only one way, but there are many ways to approach that way. My favorite is the Italian method.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

My favorite way to approach them is the donkey punch method as well!

Let's see what they look like 2 years in. The Buchenwald picture was taken at liberation.

Edit - also as someone else pointed out, although the picture is from the El Salvador camp, it is NOT a picture of the same group of people discussed in the article. I did not know that when I posted.
