Concentration Camp. Call it what it is.

Yeah, but this time Europe and China can do precision strikes, so the new allies can do for Americans what WW2 allies couldn't do for the Jews in Auswitch - and that's target the administrative section exclusively.

This is how the Holocaust started

Here is the important question.

Why keep all these people?

Why not just ship them back out asap ?

Slave labor.
Trafficking of kids and women.

SLAVERY.

Also private contractors making tons of money building, staffing and managing this.

The line between a concentration camp and a slaughterhouse begins to blur

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dachau_concentration_camp

After the takeover of Bavaria on 9 March 1933, Heinrich Himmler, then Chief of Police in Munich, began to speak with the administration of an unused gunpowder and munitions factory. He toured the site to see if it could be used for quartering protective-custody prisoners.

Himmler announced in the Münchner Neueste Nachrichten newspaper that the camp could hold up to 5,000 people, and described it as "the first concentration camp for political prisoners" to be used to restore calm to Germany.[18] It became the first regular concentration camp established by the coalition government of the National Socialist German Worker's Party (Nazi Party) and the German National People's Party (dissolved on 6 July 1933). Dachau was the concentration camp that was in operation the longest, from March 1933 to April 1945, nearly all twelve years of the Nazi regime.

History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme.

We said we would never do this as a country again, yet here we are for round two.

Why the fuck does the floor plan include a gun range?

Zero their sights probably

So they are concentrating immigrants in warehouses now?

Aaron@lemmy.nz · 2 pts · 158d

Unfortunately, they have been. There are dozens of these all over the US.

Edit: oh sorry you specified warehouses. About a dozen of those. When I said dozens I was referring to concentration camps.

It's bad enough already, laid out like bunks at Auschwitz or on a slave ship, with little ventilation, and public water and sewage that has already been called inadequate, but this made my blood run cold:

The floor plan shows only a single path for 8,500 detainees and hundreds of staff to evacuate in an emergency like a fire. While the warehouse has at least 30 more doors that the floor plan does not appear to account for, even those may not be enough for egress.

Fire. 8,500 people and only one point of egress at this time. And they want to have it open by May.

But hey, it's in the admin section so at least some of The Right People™ get out, I guess.

Are we still pretending these are for immigrants?

Disgusting from ICE.

Lots of people could fit there

This is such a disgrace to be replaying this historical chapter again. It should be that if you even suggested to ever do this in a real political way that you should be taken to a public spot and made to wash everyone's car for a week. Its such a terrible future that we're allowing to happen. There should be a way to never become this politically or socially built into our laws and regulations.
