And yet, no one is rioting in the streets or even participating in a general strike. Are you all so indoctrinated in the American brand of capitalism that you're resigned to your fate? F*ck your rugged individualism & American exceptionalism & 'bootstrap' a revolution. No one is coming to save you.

Given criminal indictments, felony convictons & multiple charges, we need to find a cell for 47. No more needed, just lock him up!

No one is safe from being disappeared by Trump Dictatorship Inc. Not even natural born American citizens are safe. Soon fellow citizens will become coerced tattle-tellers on others who aren't sufficiently bending to the Orange Monarch's whims.

So Mr. Chief Justice...any comments?

msdavinci.bsky.social•4 days ago

It’s Pinochet redux. As we are seeing it only takes a few people to be terrorized before most others come along with the dictatorship. Pinochet only had to disappear a few thousand people, and “regular” Chileans weren’t bothered, since they were the “other”, they were “subversivos”. It’s not them.

mcgimleteye13.bsky.social•4 days ago

True, but Chileans had real subversivos to contend with before Allende's ouster, so the junta's claims of defending the country seemed plausible at first. Not so in the US now.

msdavinci.bsky.social•4 days ago

They arrested protesters, students, anyone with opinions that other people might follow and so they were a threat to the regime. The Chilean lady who told me the subversivos thing was expressing her genuine sentiment.

I also learned that Musk did an all-hands last night with employees to give them this wild pep talk about how global self-driving was happening in 5 years, save your stock, crazy stuff. The link to the meeting is in this brief Verge piece. You guys, we’re winning. https://www.theverge.com/tesla/633671/elon-musk-live-streamed-a-surprise-all-hands-meeting-with-tesla-employees

We are in an era where the President of the U.S. demonizes empathy, and Republicans double down. The heart of America has turned cold and hard as stone.

It’s going to go a very ugly place as I don’t think the majority will accept this and will resist at the needed level.

Well if his claims that pardons can be reversed are upheld, then we need to send all the J-6 convicts to El Salvador as soon as his term is up.

rockitsurgery.bsky.social•4 days ago

And when he can define “terrorism” to be anything he wants. Torching Teslas. Boycotting Twitter. Not buying Goya beans. Dunking on Kid Rock and Chachi.

Because fascism, a strategy for minority control by concentrated capital that's never been more clear, relies on the intimidation.

cal2neb.bsky.social•4 days ago

I want to give attribution, but I can't remember who pointed it out: The Nazi Death Camps were not located in Germany. And that's mostly true.

desktopfromhell.bsky.social•4 days ago

Auschwitz, for example, is in Poland.

cal2neb.bsky.social•4 days ago

I think Belsen was in Germany, but that wasnt specifically a "Death Camp" just a camp where a lot of people died. And I would expect this current DOJ to make that distinction.

mcgimleteye13.bsky.social•4 days ago

It started as a labor camp.

desktopfromhell.bsky.social•4 days ago

And you can die from conditions in labor camps, even absent the whole gas chambers/ovens horrors. Arbeit macht frei and all that.

desktopfromhell.bsky.social•4 days ago

I would not put anything past the sycophant's parade at DOJ, but no way this doesn't get a 7-2 ruling at SCOTUS smacking this down quite forcefully under the 8th amendment.

Once people have been handed off to El Salvador, is there any real path to bringing them back? Or does every option rely on a President who has leverage with Bukele?

badgersnmaps.bsky.social•4 days ago

No. Bukele is not going to return his slaves and I doubt the Trump admin is keeping records of these people, where they are kept, where they are moved, what their condition is etc.

If the USA gets out of this is it will be a long process to get these folks back as Bukele plays games to keep them.

agape.bsky.social•4 days ago

It's also worth remembering that if and when the winds DO change here in the US, Bukele can have them all killed far faster than the US could mount a rescue mission.

badgersnmaps.bsky.social•4 days ago

In which case, I would be down for a mass two coast amphibious invasion that same night with the stated objective to the world of “Righteous Vengence” and Bukele being dragged to DC in irons.

badgersnmaps.bsky.social•4 days ago

(I confused El Salvador in my head for Costa Rica, El Salvador has one coast. My bad.)

cylindricalsea.bsky.social•4 days ago

Anyone sent to El Salvador or Guantanamo is basically an 'unperson'. They don't exist. That's the point.

No one should be surprised. Also, as long as this applies to American citizens that they don't like, MAGAts will be perfectly happy with it.

No, there are select incidents, probably as trial balloons. We're not at the "anyone" stage. Yet.

Just going out on a limb here...but maybe the world should look a little harder into what in the world is going on in El Salvador just in general. Donald is really doing his part to sound the alarm and establish beyond the shadow of a doubt that they are apparently openly violating human rights.

But even beyond that extreme, he’s decided protestors are terrorist thugs? It’s wild. His allegiance to Musk is scary. Keep hoping to wake up from this nightmare.
