$45 billion more given to ICE with the bill passed in the senate today. Your taxes going towards (more) ethnic cleansing. They want to strip citizenship from anyone who doesn’t kiss their ass and throw them in these cages. Next step after that will be “lending” the imprisoned for labor.

Any American who doesn’t have “abolish and defund ICE” at the top of their priority list is aiding and abetting fascists.

Minor correction - the bill passed today increases it's overall operating budget by $175B to over $200B total. ICE will become the third most funded armed forces in the world just behind China. $45B is earmarked for camps.

There's about 10M undocumented immigrants in the u.s. This is about $20k each. They're not just going after immigrants.

They knew the military wouldn't fight civilians, because it has a command structure, but ice will

God. The wet-bulb temperatures in August alone are going to murder everyone they send to that concentration camp.

I think the alligators are just a distraction from the fact that they are setting these people up to die in a hurricane or violent storm event. If not just the heat like you said

Without early warning systems, they’ll be hit by an ‘unexpected’ hurricane soon enough. The rising floodwaters will penetrate the cells more easily this way.

[-] msprout@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

That is an interesting point, but they'll just leave prisoners in the cells to die like they did in Katrina.

Unfortunately hell is a mind construct and they are most likely to just be gone after death with no punishment whatsoever.

That's the one thing perhaps that's sad about religion being made up by humans instead of being something real

I'm pretty sure it's light-weight psyops. Gitmo got a cutesy name as well. Anyone not directly part of the silly walks ministerium doesn't give a nickname to something so serious.

[-] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 24 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Its a psyop to make media choose for fake ai, high click rate images Rather then real pictures:

3 ai pictures used by “news” sites:

Real picture below for comparison, shows the people who made the above do know what the tents look like.

Also its “build on a runway”, makes you “think” they are using it as temporary place before being deported by plane but no the tents are build ON the runway

[-] msprout@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

You are honestly overcomplicating it. It's not a psyop, it's marketing and PR. Evil is terribly banal; it doesn't take mustache-twirling villains, only average people who are willing to do whatever they need to do to avoid being in trouble themselves.

They need "Alligator Alcatraz" because Republicans figured out 25 years ago that a catchy name goes farther than anything more serious. It is why "Obamacare" is still reviled to this day, despite near unanimous support for the ACA. Nancy Pelosi shutting down Walz for his "weird" label was perhaps the biggest unforced error in political history.

Starting to look like those 3rd world countries we've seen pictures of our whole lives.

Welcome to the future conservatives want.

This is why you don't do dipshit things like vote 3rd party or abstain from voting as a form of protest when so much is on the line.

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 year ago

The bigger issue is that somewhere near half the US is OK with this. Sure, maybe some people could have done more to prevent it. But, there were also untapped voters on the other side who fully supported this kind of thing, but were too lazy to vote.

The US is in a crisis not because of who is in charge, but because roughly half the population supports this kind of thing. It could be that some of them are actually not horrible people, it's just that they've been misled by Fox News, right-wing echo chambers, and other sources of information that have blinded them to the truth. But, a lot of them are gleeful participants in this new world, and will fully support it until they're the ones being sent to the camps.

Being trapped by a job does not sound like a life of comfort. Leaving my job would mean being flat broke in two weeks and then starving. If you work paycheck to paycheck, you literally cannot afford to risk your lifestyle to resist.

One of my Canadian friends called it "Alligator Auschwitz". I think we should all call it that exclusively and incessantly.
