Concentration camp. Please don't glamorize the literal fall of our nation.

[–] NewDark@lemmings.world 19 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Going to be Alligator Auchwitz

[–] ksigley@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

This is a reasonable compromise.

[–] fodor@lemmy.zip 73 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Alligator Auschwitz. It's a death camp, or will soon be.

Absolutely. They fully intend for the next hurricane floodwall to come and sweep away these people.

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 19 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The real reason it's in a Florida swamp is so they can skip the crematoria and just use the alligators to dispose of the bodies.

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Eventually that wont be "efficient enough" there's only so many gators and not enough to handle the number of people they intend to murder. There's already talk about them just dumping people in the ocean from military planes. I haven't dug into those reports enough to verify its already happened but something like that is coming if something isn't done to stop it.

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago

I call it Alligator Auschwitz Concentration (soon to be death) Camp.

[–] SolacefromSilence@fedia.io 58 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Watch who's getting the contracts and who they're bribing. That's the grift, the cruelty is just a garnish for them.

[–] besselj@lemmy.ca 35 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Unmask the contractors and their employees. Publicly shame them.

The Canadian virtue signaling recently has been absolutely unbearable. This is a sign that the true enemies have been corporations and capitalism all along. Enough with buying into the arbitrary borders.

[–] quetzaldilla@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

Canadian allies, we need your help here.

Help us boycott and sabotage these capitalistic grifters.

[–] andrej@feddit.org 23 points 3 days ago

Imagine if the Nazis built Auschwitz and the most complaints about it was that they did not torture people efficiently enough.

What a dark world we live in.

[–] LordCrom@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Complaints from those held there include lack of air conditioning...it was 96 in the shade today in south Florida, huge mosquitos...people from the North don't understand how big mosquitoes can get in the swamp, plus it's been raining so add in 100% humidity on top of everything else.

It's a terrible place to be held

[–] Hathaway@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

Minnesota knows how big mosquitoes can get. However, that doesn’t lesson the impact of your statement.

[–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

people from the North don't understand how big mosquitoes can get in the swamp

I take it you've never seen a backwoods mosquito from the Boundary Waters or, god help me, Alaska.

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Why aren't we just burning these places down?

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You first. I'll be right behind you.

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Honestly if I didn't live literally across the nation I'd maybe consider it.

The geographic spread of the US makes things like this difficult. It makes organized revolt difficult too. But hopefully not impossible.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

I feel that. I'm also nowhere near Florida, and don't have the spare cash for an airplane ticket right now. I'm making $19/hr and I can't even afford groceries.

[–] besselj@lemmy.ca 23 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Gotta pump up those numbers. Make it too expensive to operate through sabotage or other means

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I’m sure someone is pocketing most of the money.

That fencing is pure adamantium so it costs, um, hundreds of millions of dollars.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

What? It's a swindle? I'm shocked!

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 13 points 3 days ago

Now we know where all our medical money is going. To torture people with color in their skin.

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 3 days ago

So much government efficiency

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world -1 points 2 days ago

Because they have to feed all the alligators while they wait for the prisoners?
