Ok, so I’ve never been a “meme” guy and think it’s stupid we have to force everything into the “meme” format but seriously, this is not a meme. I don’t think it should be removed but just sayin.
Dachau didn’t open until 3 months after Hitler took power. They are right on track.
Next week:
You know what, it’s fine. At least you’ll be sitting in a lower ring of hell than me for laughing at this. 😌
Thanks to modern technology we can watch the whole thing unfold in real time!
fuck yeah, subcontracting out the concentration camps!
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.
This sums it up nicelyI’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.
It’s a European tradition to spectate torture and execution for entertainment.
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.
A little reminder, apparently Salvadorians are loving Bukele for this.
I tried reminding them that, removing due-process is a can-of-worms that you rather not open
there are people in other parts of latam that want that same shit in their own countries…
where there are marches asking where the people that were “disappeared” during the dictatorship went.
well i guess they weren’t against it, they were just really curious. like at a magic show!
Reminder that before all this El Salvador was sweeping up anyone and I mean anyone they found on the street during their sweeps and throwing them in huge overcrowded cells to await mass trials without representation.
even more damning that the populace has cheered for it; non of the human right abuses matter so long as it’s not them.
With tattoos
Remember kids, fascism only ends one way.
Only one way, but there are many ways to approach that way. My favorite is the Italian method.
My favorite way to approach them is the donkey punch method as well!
“Accused without proof” excuse me what they literally have the gang signs tattoo’d on their skin. Are we gonna pretend that people get tattoos of criminal gangs but are actually not part of it?
Jesus christ el salvador was one oft the deadliest countries in the world. People were going to work in the morning and there was a big chance of not getting home alive. The population celebrates bukele, as the country plunged from like 40 homicides per 100.000 people in 2019 to 1.9 per 100.000 people.
Tattoo of a gang sign or a rose with their family members’ names on it. Either or.
Yes, if you go on with that drastic measures, you are bound to hit innocent people aswell - just as ukraine is bound to kill innocent civilians by bombing russian infrastructure, despite all their attempts to mitigate those.
I don’t think you guys understand the severity of the situation that has been cooking down there.

“Everyone that disagrees with me is a nazi” you know, come back once you got any kind of argument, okay? And stop embarrass yourself on topics you know jack shit about.
Having been in a gang ≠ in a gang. Lots of people wear school runs that are long long out of school, provide evidence of an actual crime instead like our constitution and bill of rights demand you fucking authoritarian simp.
Having been in a gang ≠ in a gang
Shows how little you know about el salvador. People who have gang tattoos are either in a gang or dead. A criminal gang is not a club you can leave whenever you feel like it. Hell, even here in the west, people who try to leave the banditos or the hells angel often end up dead, and you think in el salvador, the (at that point) most murderous country in the world, they can just quit?
provide evidence of an actual crime
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_El_Salvador
The thing is, I’m as libertarian as you can get in the west. However, unlike most of you drones, I do recognize that at some point, being a civilized human stops working. Do you really think you can “reason” with criminal gangs that have been controlling your country for over a decade? Are you also one of those clowns that keep crying “No no no do not send ukraine weapons, you just have to TALK with putin!!!111 :(((((((((”?
Is the situation down there good? Absolutely not. Are a lot of innocent people being caught in the crossfire? Absolutely.
I’m not in favor of that at all, but I do recognize it’s the only way. Just like an infection that has progressed too long untreated, the only option is amputation of the affected limb. And el salvador had previous governments fail on every possible level.
And the people of el salvador probably are happy they can leave their houses again without being shot. Bukele has incredibly high approval ratings, often above 90%: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_on_the_Nayib_Bukele_presidency
I work with ex gang members you’re wrong and your ancedotal bullshit means nothing. Prove an actual crime like the goddamn constitution and bill of rights demand. If you’re accused of something I’d want them to prove that as well, what kind of racist fucking bigot do you have to be to say fuck it no due process for these people and moreover how absolutely fucking stupid do you have to be to expect that not to be precedent to imprison other people without due process like I dunno… You dipshit.
You see, it isn’t so bad, they can sit up!

Yes the Jews had tattoos too, some were put there after they got there. I suggest a public library to help yourself champ.
Their comment was dumb, but comparing full body tattoos to id numbers tattooed on Holocaust victims is somehow dumber.
Your God king even backed off that claim dumb guy.
You would be a Linux user too lol. Too on the nose.

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.

I think you need the /s so people know this is sarcastic.

I can name about 30 very tatted people who have never committed a crime that I have personally met. Tattoos are not an indicator of criminality.

I mean, things have different meanings depending on your local culture. I think it’s much rarer for normal people to get tattoos in El Salvador than where you love.
Well they lived in the US. Hence the deportation. Which is also where I live.
