How's everyone feeling about America having Nazi Gestapo and concentration camps?

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Supermax Prison, not just for brown people anymore

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 38 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I guess, after trying it, I'd have to say nah, not really into it.

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Too bad Americans are stupid enough to have to see for themselves before they judge.

The conservative sister fucks are still celebrating all of this

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 10 points 1 day ago

Your generalizations, friend, cut me to the quick.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

I feel used to it. We had concentration camps during the FDR admin, and we've had gestapo since shortly after 9/11. Trump didn't turn the US into shit, all he did was smear it on our faces.

[–] Allemaniac@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

non of these raids happened under Biden, stop lying to yourself. Trump is 100% exponentially escalating the surveilance state

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 4 points 17 hours ago

Biden didn't do anything to roll it back, either, AFAIK. The democrats built their 2024 campaign on "Trump is a dangerous fascist" (and he is) right up until they shitcanned it when that kid took a shot at him. Well, they said he was a dangerous fascist, but they sure didn't act like it, and they left all the tools he would need handily lying around for him.

we’ve had gestapo since shortly after 9/11.

What?

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

and we've had gestapo since shortly after 9/11.

Ignorant shit right here

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 6 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Oh look, someone too young to remember life before the patriot act

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

I wish.

But no, I'm someone who knows what the Gestapo was and actually did.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Me too. It was shit like this. It was shit like this.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

Is this free association?

Do you know what the Gestapo was? Abu Griahb is not analogous at all. Two completely different (both awful) things.

Your photos were taken in Afghanistan.

The Gestapo operated domestically

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

You're splitting hairs. The United States arreats people without warrants, holds them indefinitely without trial, tortures them, and kills them. It's been doing so for over 20 years. I don't care where they're doing it. I care that they're doing it. You can "no true gestapo" at me all day long but that's close enough for me.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

It's not splitting hairs at all, they are important distinctions.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 40 minutes ago (1 children)

Why? Are American lives more important than Afghani lives? Does torture suddenly become acceptable once you cross a national border? You know el Salvador isn't part of the US either, right?

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 minutes ago* (last edited 7 minutes ago)

Are you incapable of good faith discussion? Who the fuck said anything about one thing being better or worse than the other? They're just different, and the distinctions are important.
