      You know what, it’s fine. At least you’ll be sitting in a lower ring of hell than me for laughing at this. 😌

    The picture on the left is from when the prison first opened, so won’t show any of the deportees

      Oh hell. OTOH, I’d imagine we have no reason to think it’s looking better these days.

      Still, thanks for the correction, I took that as I found it.

      It seems this new technology is not much benefit in stopping it? Observers are great, powerless and disorganized ones not so much.

        Too many people live in willful ignorance

        You can see the obvious big picture and scream from the rooftops, but everyone who is comfortable enough and in denial that things are actually that bad straight up just ignore you

        It’s only now that people are starting to get their wakeup calls, like a lot of Europe, for example

        But god, if it isn’t super frustrating to watch the local news in my European country and have politicians repeatedly say “nobody thought we would be standing here talking about this 4 years ago”

        I did, fuckers! I did!! The fascist threat was obvious ever since the first trump presidency, and the trends could clearly be seen from even before then, however, I was a child at that time

        I don’t get it. Especially because politicians are supposed to be the experts in trends like this. Is everyone just fucking clueless??

        I swear most people are just so neoliberal ideology brained, and heavily struggle seeing anything outside of that. It’s been a massive failure on the part of society that political philosophy has not been a bigger part of the education curriculum. Or part of it, at all.

            I’m not sure how relevant this is outside the USA; but when I was helping build grassroots for social activism in Texas - I realized people had forgotten how! Their grandparents could, and did. I saw it as a child.

            But something happened over two generations, and the knowledge was not handed down, or was not applicable when things changed so much .

            I remember enough to know critical things in the community is missing. I suspect a major missing piece is that people stay indoors too much.

              Same in Germany. I don’t know what it is either but I’m convinced it’s related to the loneliness epidemic among the younger generation. People have seemingly stopped connecting in meaningful ways in general. No more religion, no more sports teams, working from home and getting your social interaction fix through social media. I think all of this is seriously starting to take its toll.

      Let’s see what they look like 2 years in. The Buchenwald picture was taken at liberation.

      Edit - also as someone else pointed out, although the picture is from the El Salvador camp, it is NOT a picture of the same group of people discussed in the article. I did not know that when I posted.
