Will you stop posting shit claiming he was accidentally deported? He was deported intentionally. The government lawyer who argued in court that the government had deported Garcia by mistake has since been fired. Stephen Miller himself said that "There was no mistake". They are deporting whoever they can get their hands on.

He wasn't deported, he was kidnapped and sent to a concentration camp.

til deportations aren't just sending them to a different country, and out-of-the-country camps count as deportating (not sarcasm, I seriouslly didn't know that)

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

The Trump administration said in court filings he was accidentally deported.

That accident was because they are deporting whoever they can get their hands on.

I hope all those „be careful around windows in russia” jokes made you laugh because this is your reality now.

[-] obinice@lemmy.world 35 points 1 week ago

Bold of you to think I live in the USA. I'll keep making Russian window jokes, but now I need a good USA one too, hmmm...

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 13 points 1 week ago

I propose: Don't leave your fridge open in the US.

Has been for a few decades at least, but now the targeting is more random.

[-] BearGun@ttrpg.network 10 points 1 week ago

The real differences are that the scope is massively expanded and they've stopped trying to hide it. Now they're just doing it out in the open.

The lights are on 24/7 there. Bright florescent lights. I imagine at Dachau you might be able to escape in sleep occasionally.

[-] BlastboomStrice@mander.xyz 6 points 1 week ago

Wait, the top one isnt a photo from ww2?...

Umm, thanks for these images, it really puts it in perspective. I knew that they were fascists and have shown it many times, but here it looks so clear

[-] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 54 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Slave labor?

They are kept in pens for 23.5 hours a day. I don't think they're getting any labor out of them. It's a death camp.

[-] D_C@lemm.ee 45 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

He's most likely dead. That's the reason why they can't get him back.

Edit: furthermore even if Chunky Cheeto said on TV that he knows the guy is dead because he killed him himself then absolutely nothing would be done about it.
USA, the land of seemingly unlimited guns yet none of you will do anything about the dictatorship that is happening before your eyes.

USA, the land of seemingly unlimited guns yet none of you will do anything about the dictatorship that is happening before your eyes.

Remember how America has the largest military on the planet, and how even our local police forces are armed with machines of war and mass destruction. Yeah, every single one of those guys works for the dictator so forgive me if I don’t go John Fucking Rambo on the White House with a repeater I bought at Walmart.

We’re showing up to protests by the millions, we’re using our voices, we’re pressuring elected leaders to stand up and fight back, we’re fucking trying to stop this shit, so honestly fuck off with this sort of reductive armchair general critiquing.

This guy went against a column of tanks with two bags of groceries.

Americans can't get organised to march with their guns to see how far the military will defend the dictatorship, when you make it hard for them.

So for years we've been right about the 2A, completely useless and only there to feed the military-industrial machine, weak egos and gang violence.

[-] Jax@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago

He also got disappeared, never to be seen or heard from again. Not exactly the example I'd use.

Millions of us are protesting and direct action groups are gaining more support and being more active. We're slow to the draw yes, and this type of movement should have happened much earlier, but it's inaccurate to say none of us are doing anything

Edit to add: https://lemmy.world/post/28297299

[-] Alloi@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

i think the point hes getting at mainly is that none of the protesting groups are taking up firearms and removing the potus by force along with his cronies. you are not militant enough compared to what is written in your constitution for this exact scenerio.

protesting where the police allow you to is "controlled opposition" and its part of the allowed illusion of potential change. its what allows viewers at home who may agree with the movement, to feel hopeful, and like they dont have to do anything because someone else is already doing something. resolving things democratically will only take you so far with a head of state and entrenched system of control that not only doesnt follow the rules of democracy, but is actively trying to dismantle it.

protest as much as you wish, but if theres no bite after your bark, it rings hollow.

source? occupy wallstreet. where they poured champaign on protestors from high rises and skyscrapers, laughing, and taking pictures as they continued to rob everyone below. nothing changed. not really. if anything it got worse.

[-] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Every protest is a sea of organization. Thousands and thousands of people convening in a public space for a cause compels people to think about those next steps. It's a process of breaking inertia. But yes, these always require a politival mechanism: support for a bill, a race, a party, etc or they will get co-opted by the ruling class.

That's what happened with Occupy Wall Street, yes, though it still resulted in a major wave of political organization. The movement being ignored resulted in a major wave of disenfranchised people who turned to fascism thinking it would be a viable alternative. But at the same time it helped prime people to actually give Bernie a chance in 2016.

[-] morrowind@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

Taking up arms at this point would be absurdly foolish. They'd just deploy actual militant forces to stop you and you'd essentially kill any progressive movement for a couple decades, because they'd be associated with violence and extremism

I like how this still implies that it's only wrong because he had a legal situation.

After all illegal immigrants are not really human, right?

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I thought it implied that he couldn't be returned because he died.

what do you mean 'no reason in particular..."?

the reason is that he is not white enough, how is this a mystery to anyone???

[-] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

The post implies that they aren't being returned because they are dead.

[-] zebidiah@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Ooof, wow I totally missed that....

[-] ameancow@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

If he's not dead, they will make sure he is before any press or diplomats can find him. They don't want anyone speaking out or reporting what's happening. They just want all the "ethnic people" to quietly disappear.

We allowed the smallest, stupidest segment of the country to have absolute power to literally start ethnic cleansing on US soil, and our "opposition party" is frowning deeply and saying "This is inappropriate!"

We're done. There's no fixing this. We will need a complete government overhaul and it will take decades, assuming we survive and our country doesn't just become another ruined dictatorship, hollowed out and left to rot.

[-] Etterra@discuss.online 8 points 1 week ago

Apparently the dictator is incapable of dictating.

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

There is very much a reason.

[-] Robotsandstuff@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

So there's only two reasons they didn't just get this guy back one he's dead or two they are doing it to prove they have total power

We have moved from being ruled by the laws of the government

To the whims of the government

Laws now are just .... Suggestions.
