Wanted to repost this since Trump yet again has floated sending US citizens to foreign gulags. Erik Prince has a loophole for that aimed at “illegal” citizens but that can easily be applied to all Americans open.substack.com/pub/trumptyr...

I posted the first version (left) of this piece 6 months ago and was called an alarmist. I updated it a little under 3 months ago (right), because everything has gotten so much worse. This is why you cannot give fascism any room to breathe in a civilized society; they are opportunists.

The criminal doesn’t have to abide by laws or ethics, while the victim presumably does. That allows more latitude 4 the criminal to act in engaging their crimes"
