Reminds me of John Oliver who observed “Once you start parsing the age of consent in different states, you know you’re in hot water.”

Transportation of people to camps 'suspected' of being 'concentration camps' by a country guilty of 'PAST' acts of 'Genocide' as U.S.A. makes them a suspect of future similar crimes. Reservations, genocide and 'the path of Tears' against Indigenous nations plus Japanese internment camps is proof.

Thank you for your refreshing brevity and humour. Much needed now, even if its ridiculousness mirrors the shitshow we’re living through.

True, it means there’s lots of freeze peach and public discourse over important issues and stuff!

I don't recall seeing anything about frozen peaches.

And keep in mind it is called a 'concentration' camp, as we are pooling or 'concentrating' a large group of people in this one spot. We could easily call it a 'grouping camp' or a 'confinement center' or even 'the Wrigley Field bleachers'. It's just a name, pure and simple.....

I like to think of it as a close knit community of like minded individuals who share the common interests of not being into the GOP.

Quibbling, aka debating knowledgeably, is an essential part of higher thinking. However expecting agreement on a single, transhistorical definition of a social phenomenon can be a dangerous way of letting society’s monsters of the hook.

I think it's better to call it a gulag as it's for political dissidents rather than racial groups, but it's the same shit

You think these men were rounded up for their political beliefs?

dogmaticpyrrhonist.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Well, so far it's the combination of racial profiling and having once been within a few miles of anti Trump ideas. It's hasn't got completely to just race yet. Same as so far it hasn't targeted citizens, yet. Give it another week or two though.

dogmaticpyrrhonist.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Actually, rethinking this. The main difference is just that Trump is targeting people who aren't citizens. Their "race" OR political views. Of course, he's also working on destroying citizenship in the background, so he'll be going full Hitler when his supreme Court cronies rule on that

Also, the focus on working people to death, but without inhumane medical experiments or just mass gassing is more gulag like too. Not that concentration camps didn't work people to death. The two ideas are basically the same though. It's all just slight colour differences. Both evil as f

And fire clarity, the Soviet gulags were basically for dissidents and whichever cultural group Stalin or whoever didn't like that minute. It only looked less racist because it's harder to see the difference between a Ukranian, Bulgarian or a Russian

You guys are funny, but you could use some work on your headline writing. Too often you leave out the verb, turning your headline into a word salad.

"And we need a new, updated motto to go over the entrance. Something with a little 'pep,' more 'American.' "Arbeit Macht Frei" is so 'German.' And overused."
