Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
They can get away with a concentration camp on the mainland. That's not the problem.
What they want is secrecy. That concerns me considerably more because it means there's something they want to do in it that they won't be able to keep secret on the mainland. It's not just a concentration camp.
Perhaps less Auschwitz and more Unit 731?
Maybe? Elon wants to put chips in people's brains doesn't he? He's gonna have tens of thousands of people to medically experiment with like all the monkeys he killed.
Wasn't there an interview where some billionaires quizzed a marxist on how to control people in their survival bunkers post-collapse and one of the suggestions one the billionaires had was brain chips? I might be misremembering but someone might know the article I'm talking about.
EDIT: This is the one I had in mind. Brainchips not mentioned so I misremembered. But I think it still fits.
How do I secure the viability of my tiny society of post-apocalyptic survivors?
Do I set up a fair and equitable system that benefits all and promotes the building of community and solidarity?
Nah... I'll just put bombs around my armed goons' necks.
Did that person interview Ted Farrow?
It’s more likely to be something along Unit 731 than Auschwitz. If we’re going to keep making WW2 comparisons then we should also start with the precursor to those which would be the Shark Island concentration camp in Namibia. It was a concentration camp in Namibia that used the people sent there for slave labor and medical experiments. No gas chambers though but it didn’t really matter with how many people died in the camp anyway.
Edit: Didn’t Australia do something similar with their detention centre in Nauru? It could also be something more along the lines of that. Still not good but a little less dramatic than immediately assuming it’s on the scale of Auschwitz.
I don't think it will be Auschwitz. Not yet.
Auschwitz didn't happen overnight, those things develops over time as the barbarism of fascism accelerates.
It will be another step on the road to American Auschwitz though. Like current US prisons and concentration camps but worse and more lawless.
When we eventually learn of the crimes committed there the reaction will be like that to Abu Ghraib, widespread liberal horror and maybe the ritual sacrifice of a low-level scapegoat or two but no fundamental reckoning with the west's dark rotting core of white supremacy.
It's horrifying what is happening. I can only imagine what will be revealed after someone risks their life to expose it.
And then - at best - the libs will be mad about it for a couple of news cycles. It will have absolutely no consequences to the people responsible.
If anything it will start a "open-minded debate" on whether non-Aryans deserve human rights. Most people will thing they don't.
I remember in Australia they moved our refugee/immigrant camps because the local ones got harrassed a lot. It apparently doesn't take that much to put it far away
