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.

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.

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.

Dachau didn’t open until 3 months after Hitler took power. They are right on track.

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