Concentration camp, definition 1. Mass detention: Ppl held in large numbers 2. Extrajudicial: No fair trial or due process 3. Targeted populations: Religion, ethnicity etc 4. Harsh conditions: Poor sanitation, abuse etc 5. State-backed: Sanctioned by government #CECOT is a concentration camp.

The people of Greenland:

*But* there's also a larger-than-zero chance that E-Loon himself, between two lines of ketamine, actually gets his own boneheaded cues and distorted conclusions from Grok, so that'd even events out, eventually. :P

I guess most people just couldn't *imagine* how serious it all was because it never happened before in their lifetimes. They still can't. The general sanewashing is astounding, with some folks already hypothesizing about the midterms when we'll probably have ethnic cleansings before March.

I feel it's increasingly likely that this whole dreary mess has only two possible outcomes. Either Republicans finally get their second civil war or Democrats get a republican dictatorship.

You don't scare me!

I have a theory that around 2016, the earth was used as an eight-ball in an intergalactic pool match by unknown deities, got knocked into a black hole, and ever since then, we're all living in some freakish parallel universe where news is satire, and satire is news.

MAGA Christianity has become synonymous with hostility to outsiders, contempt for the poor; with privilege and supremacy, with rabid nationalism, with a religion of compulsion. In other words, practically speaking, Jesus of Nazareth has been driven out. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-loving...

There's an ancient warrior wisdom, passed down from mouth to ear over countless generations, translated into every language known to mankind, and the gist is: "If two enemies are fighting, shut up, watch closely, and enjoy your refreshments." 🍿

Why oh why are people only sharing the cropped versions when the full message is so juicy?

Here's a thought for your moral universe: Donald Trump is the quintessential American shadow in a jungian sense. He embodies everything the US never wanted to be true about itself; a reckless, violent, hypocritical, racist, ignorant & utterly corrupt narcissistic bully who gets away with everything

Indeed, and what I'm trying to point out here is that OP and everyone else are actually commenting on last year's outdated message. Here's this year's update.

There’s some…interesting memetic energy on X being directed in support of US territorial expansion. Given Trump’s recent rhetoric along similar lines, we should probably pay attention to it.

You've heard the speech before, but did you know a remix artist made a song out of it years ago? Please give it a listen. ❤️ youtu.be/ouzKl0oD6sU

I'm at a point where I'm ready to assume US justice has either been entirely fictional to begin with or is at least laughably inadequate. Hard to say, is it more because of that judicial coup on top, or the violent street thug culture at the bottom?

Found him!

I made this GIF about Musk 2 years ago and I got told by one of my mates I was being over the top and he wasn't that bad. Well, Elon's shown his true colours, he is absolutely this bad. He's a nazi

Reminds me of a German joke: What borders on insanity? Canada and Mexico.

I mean, he said he wanted to crash the economy as far back as 2014, didn't he? Because that's "where we used to be when we were great." No, he really said that verbatim.

I see your oligarchy and raise you for plutocracy, neo-feudalism, kakistocracy, kleptocracy, and pathocracy. I believe that's a straight.

It bears repeating that the congressman-elect saying this, Brandon Gill of Texas, is the son-in-law of Dinesh D'Souza. It's all a big club.

I forgot, are we at war with Oceania or Eurasia?

Depends on the murderers, I guess. Strangling a homeless black guy = good murderer Shooting a CEO trafficking in death = bad murderer

I've somehow never gotten over the fact that my childhood hero, Commander Skywalker of the Rebellion, is now also a public figure as Commander Hamill of the Resistance. Surreal times, man.

Did someone say "nihilistic societal breakdown"? 🤨

Well, I'm afraid we ain't seen nothing yet.

Funny enough, but no one hates America more than its incoming president. He's really hell-bent on burning it all to the ground and remaking it in his own deranged image if people aren't going to stop him. Which would most certainly trigger that 2nd civil war, the far right keeps dreaming about...

No other civilized western country is exploiting and torturing its own citizens as much as the US, denying them even most basic commodities like health care or a living wage. Yet people demanding this are branded "radical left" when it's only common sense. Except maybe when you're an Oligarch.

So, the Orange Menace is set to be named Time Magazine's Person of the Year? I'd rather name him 350 other things, so here's a comprehensive list.

"I belive in Jesus but fuck his teachings" is probably the most compact explanation for what's wrong with US Christians and why they keep playing for the other team.

Most people don’t realize that the FBI does not have a legislative charter. It is a creation of the Justice Dept and operates under rules promulgated by the Attorney General (the AG Guidelines). Those guidelines — which seek to protect civil liberties and baseless investigations— can be rescinded.

Good point. The FBI selection process right now is highly bureaucratized, to ensure vetting and fairness. But that is internal policy. I can’t see anything that would stop scrapping that and hiring any rando, including 1/6 convicts and giving them special arrest powers. What could go wrong

I once quoted Stephen Miller right back at himself and got flagged for hateful conduct. I wish this was just a joke.

*Coughs in German*

The fictional TDS or "Trump Derangement Syndrome" is When a deranged person tells a normal person: "You're deranged," For reacting negatively to the derangement Of a narcissistic psychopath. Here's some notes about that, written by myself in 2016.

"What's this fascism thing anyway?"

Their feelings don't care about facts.

Well, here we are, folks.
