      Wow so brave. Buy a rifle and learn how to use it, memes aren’t revolution.

          They are literally posting a meme about asking the pedophile in chief to release the evidence in themselves. They are posting a meme about ineffective passive bullshit.

          That’s why I said what I said. I didn’t say you have to be shooting all the time, that’s a very silly interpretation.

          I’m on Lemmy, obviously, making a comment with a message: America needs a revolution, and a revolution can’t be won without guns when he releases the military on you.

          Had their message been something effective, I wouldn’t have said anything, but posting “release the files” memes on every post is not only ineffective, it’s also distracting from every awful thing he’s doing that’s more worthy of a revolution than simply being a known pedophile. He’s running the Nazi playbook page by page, you no longer have the freedom of speech, people are being sent to international concentration camps without trial, and you’re making memes to distract from what needs to happen: you need to revolt!

          An armed minority is harder to oppress, and those willing to stand up are a minority. You don’t need to shoot everything, I didn’t imply that and I’m not a violent gun nut, but you should at least know how to operate a rifle effectively and get some ammo while you can.

          Trans people are being targeted next, are you gonna protect them with “release the files” memes when the stories of what Trump is doing to them start coming out?

          That’s very brave.

    Slaves.

    Don’t kid yourself these people are being sold as slaves. That’s why they’re being sent to these countries. We are selling slaves.

    The military flights cost up to $28k an hour, but it’s OK, he’s putting this all on your national debt, his giant credit card.

    I guarantee the conditions at these African camps will be inhumane and murderous. They’re located in places already rife with conflict and cruelty. Places like Sudan, etc. It’s the point, to offshore human rights violations. Sounds familiar

      It’s been decades now. Their in-depth reporting during the Bush II administration was leagues better than most mainstream news outlets.

      They’ve had political contributors for a long time. Iirc even Hunter S Thompson contributed some political writings, sprinkled between his more sports-centric articles, to Rolling Stone.

    At least this indicates the missing people from Alligator Alcatraz are alive. And isn’t that a sentence I would very much like to never, ever say again.

    At some point, other countries will stop taking these extrajudicial deportations, and guess what happens then?

    (*Spoiler: Hitler did this until other countries started refusing all the deportations. Only then did he start gassing people. This is stage 1.)

      Yeah, no. They are being paid to accept these people and they intend to do absolutely nothing with them. just dump them out there and say “good luck”.

    notice how they’re sending these planes to countries that barely have an airforce to chase them the fuck away with.

    they’re sending them to places where the local governments wouldnt dare protest.

      I don’t think you get it.

      Those govts are being paid to take those people, you think they are doing this for free? LOL! And why those particular places? While, probably hoping a lot of them just dissappear.

    You know, the Nazis did the same with wasting valuable military resources transporting considered undesirables to be imprisoned and killed, even though they were in the middle of a war, and the logistics were badly needed to transport supply and reinforcements to the front lines. I always say fascists will always fall because they are running on emotions. So much for “facts don’t care about feelings” from MAGAts.

      This isn’t really true. Generally, the Nazis were running trains eastward with supplies for their troops in Russia. The trains filled with victims for the camps would have otherwise returned empty. The same logistical situation is why so many POWs captured by the Allies in Europe and North Africa were brought back to the United States for incarceration.

      As far as the expense of the Holocaust was concerned, the death camp Treblinka is pretty instructive. Treblinka operated for a period of 18 months, during which approximately 900,000 people were killed by the exhaust from a single salvaged tank engine. The camp was staffed at any one time by about 25 German officers and soldiers and 100 local civilian workers. Treblinka was an utterly trivial fraction of Germany’s overall war effort, and yet it killed a million people.

        The difference though is that the Allies could spare more resources, while the Axis can’t. German rail lines also keep getting sabotaged and the blockade and air bombing kept the resources to fix them being disrupted or destroyed. The Allies didn’t have such issues on their end. The German trains coming from the Eastern front could have loaded up more wounded but even so, I imagine they would have more limited available train freight because of destruction.

        The anti-partisan action by the Axis also took up so much manpower that could have otherwise gone to the frontline. Not to mention that the very same people the Germans killed, could have been soldiers themselves on the side of the Axis. Many Ukrainians welcomed the Nazis as liberators and could have helped the Nazis against the Soviet Union, but of course, the Nazis had a different idea. Mussolini’s fascism was mild compared to the Nazis, and he was right that the Hitler’s obsession on race is a waste of time and resources.

        Well, that and the fact that it completely takes them out of the theater of war. They’re not going to be rescued and released from a camp in the middle of Montana.

        And even if a few do escape, they’re a few days walk from anywhere, and will stick out like a sore thumb if they did encounter a local.

    Jesus f-ing Christ, it’s like inverse-slavery and America having decided to be the slave sellers this time around. Literally negotiating to work people from previously active workforces to countries they have no ties and a paper agreement of their guilt that allows them to be manhandled like slaves on the industrial scale.
