Repeating the same goddamn mistakes again. This is what Americans supporting Trump want, all "undesirables" to be murdered. This is what tens of millions of us are.
"eat the rich" and "grab the guillotine" can be seen as having the same vibe ("all “undesirables” to be murdered"). Maybe violence shouldn't be the answer for either side, or maybe it is the answer for one side. I'm not going to advocate for it here, but I will say, we are a larger crowd... maybe don't fuck with us?
There is a world of difference between evil people doing violence to innocent people who just want to live their lives, and doing violence to those evil people in order to protect the innocent
Yes. But people are people. Just like not all us poors are innocent, not all them richs are evil. "eat the rich", for example, sets a presence of blanketed violence that we will never be able to escape. Preemptively killing someone because they might do evil isn't really any difference in end result to where we are now. The "undesirables", as they've been stated earlier, are not all innocent, and the USA government is kicking all of them out, because some of them might be evil (same as killing all the rich, because some of them are evil). I'm all for protecting the innocent, but the cost for doing so cannot be to kill other innocents. I don't have answers, only criticisms, which is one reason I never got into politics. And, in case it wasn't clear, these concentration camps they're proposing are abysmal, evil, and likely illegal (like that ever stopped them before).
I don’t think you understand that quote. “Eat the rich” is part of the full quote, “when the people shall have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich”. It’s not about killing rich people, it’s about class struggle and avoiding the situation where the wealthy have accumulated so much that the people are starving. In other words, it’s a warning to the rich not to take so much that they are the only food left.
No I understand the origins. But I also have witnessed it used on here as a call to arms. I'm not referring to the origins, with which I fully agree but, rather, to what it has become as of late; it's current colloquial use.
You really think “eat the rich” is too strong of a response to the rich literally building death camps and making snide jokes about feeding all of the brown people to the alligators? People saying “eat the rich” are crossing too big of a line in this situation?
so in the face of stripping human rights from vulnerable people, you willfully side with the fascists doing said human rights violations. I am from Germany and we went through our history thouroughly in school and I can guarantee you one thing: Any person that advocated for the Nazi cause, were part of the Nazis (even mere infantery cannonfodder), or silenced critiquers were tried in the Nürnberg (Nuremberg) trials as fully guilty. So when the MAGA craze settles, and people look at this situation with a 20 20 vision, I hope you are aware at what you are promoting here. The Hague is there for a reason and any sane person in the western world is just waiting for the trials to begin.
You can't be a good person and be a billionaire. The simple fact that you have that much money means you're taking more than your share. No one is creating a billion dollars worth of work.
Fair point. Maybe that's the disconnect. To me, 'rich' covers a whole slew of people that aren't even close to billionaires. Someone who is living very comfortably and has, say, £200k in the bank, to me, would be considered rich.
That's how the french revolution went. Not a great outcome in the short term for most people involved. Violence, no matter how justified, has a tentency to spin out of control.
if Nazi Germany was around today, this is the type of shit SS officiers would post on their social media, just to be clear. They are all powerhungry violators of human rights and should ALL be trialed accordingly
Seriously though, . . . wtf happened to her? She went from complete unknown to bitch-splattered hellcunt in a few months. russian kompromat? Meth? Drinky Pete Hegseth’s vodka shot diet?
She had a book to sell and realized that her base loves vitriolic poison. The more disgusting shit she can spew the more attention she gets. The more attention she gets the more donations she gets. No more books needed.
Daily reminder to all ICE agents. By signing up for ICE, you have signed yourself up for a lifetime of fear and criminal liability. There are Nazi concentration camp guards that were tried for their crimes in their 90s. There is no statute of limitations on crimes against humanity. Your names are recorded; your deeds are known. And you will face justice for your crimes. And do not count on a blanket pardon saving you. Crimes against humanity are violations of international law that cannot be pardoned.
it's the only answer and i don't see how more people don't recognize that. we have to shout if from the rooftops if we want to react in time to prevent a full collapse.
2A or not 2A, that is the question. Whether tis nobler in South Carolina to suffer the tweets and gators of outrageous assholes, or get strapped against a sea of idiots and by opposing, Luigi them.
FYI if this wasn’t posted via TOR/IP2, you might be fine today but wouldn’t count on it
I’m non-violent just want folks to know prison is nearby, and btw Kash Patel I’m an unarmed non-immigrant but I understand you can still make this comment illegal if you ask daddy orange
The goal isn't to safely and effectively house people awaiting due process for immigration offenses.
The goal is to create a brutal inhumane quasi-death camp to eradicate scapegoat ethnicities and to provide a slush fund for pro-Nazi state governments and their jackbooted SS.
History doesn't repeat itself, it just rhymes. These are concentration camps. Not the first time the US Government has used them on their own citizens.
Bet you dollars to cents she goes to a church and considers herself a Christian. Let's not forget that whole "wwjd" bullshit doesn't forbid beating a mother fucker.
32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink,43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
James 2
6 But you have dishonored the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court? 7 Are they not the ones who are blaspheming the noble name of him to whom you belong?
8 If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing right.
…
15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
18 But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.
Acts 2
32 All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. 33 With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all
34 that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales 35 and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need.
Matthew 24
24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
Save your strength for something more constructive. The hypocrisy is part of their ideology, because they don’t actually believe in words. They believe in power, words is just a plaything. You will get no gotcha moment out of these people.
Literally nobody cares. That's why we're here. It's ALWAYS where christianity goes because christianity is an evil ideology that uses the concept of "righteousness" as a basis for division and ultimately genocide. It cannot do anything else.
I assume it is a reference to the idea of holding immigrants in swamp based concentration camps and pretending that the local wildlife will eat anyone who tries to escape. It is even dumber and more malicious than it sounds.
It is even dumber and more malicious than it sounds.
It's like the Republican Party got taken over by incompetent James Bond villains. However, despite what's portrayed in Live and Let Die, alligators don't normally prey on humans.
as an inlooking european I gotta say, the republican party always seemed very whack to me, ngl. But then again I would have voted for Bernie, so I am a incorrigable democratic socialist scary communist
Thank you. Just what I was looking for.
I should have known "immigrants" would be involved, I think i just got thrown off by memories of "Drain the swamp" and thought this was about rival politicians.
Good luck with everything.
Let me know if there's any way we can help 🫠
No idea about who she is, didn't even read the post first, just noticed her dead eyes and (bulletproof) combat vest, and immediately realized that she is probably a replublican.
I then read the text, and was more confused, but leaning toward her being pro MAGA.
It's crazy to look at these people and just see the layers of the onion. Here is a person who knows she's doing wrong. It's written on her face. And yet, she puts on a defensive layer and keeps right on trudging forward with tears in her eyes as she digs deeper and deeper into her hole.
Mike Johnson is another one of these. You can look at him and know that his smug little grin is a thin veneer trying to keep the outside world from realizing that he knows how wrong he is and somewhere in there absolutely hates himself. Even with Trump and Vance, it's written all over their faces. They spend every day fighting it, denying it, trying not to let themselves look, but you can see in their eyes that they can't help it. They know, and they keep on anyway despite themselves.
It would be so easy for any of them to just let go of all that and start trying to help people. To listen to that part of themselves they desperately try to shut up day in and day out. To stop feigning ignorance and try to make things better. They could pick any second to just stop poisoning themselves for a sake of a sunken cost cult mentality held up by people who feel just as sick about their own decisions.
I do think there's a sizeable difference between having deeply buried shame about what they're doing and actually having doubts that make their way to the surface where they could actually change the behavior.
I know these people. This hate is their real religion. They listen to the sermons of Fox News and conservative radio more then their actual preacher and more then their own families. One of them has a homoerotic, nearly pornographic, and very much photoshopped poster of Donald Trump hanging in his workshop. Another has 25% of his workshop covered in conservative bumper stickers. Their hatred for "others" and their condescension for anyone with empathy is their pride.
The combat vest is because they really really want someone to take a shot at them because that way they can actually be the victim they envision themselves as.
If she just wandered around on the street not wearing anything no one would know who she was and would totally ignore her. That's totally unacceptable so out comes the combat vest.
Not correcting as much as clarifying. For some reason I find the word "correcting" insulting. May be a personal prejudice, but I didn't mean to insult you.
That, and alligators don't really see people as food, unless you are a small child playing near the edge of the water at dusk. They can be defensive of their personal space and breeding territory, but they'd much rather be 10ft away from you than attacking you.
Source: Spent a week kayaking in a burning swamp absolutely filled with alligators. They just want to sit in the sun and be left the fuck alone.
Also they're generally chill. I grew up in South Florida and have encountered more than my fair share while canoeing, and outside of breeding season you can walk right up to them and give them a slap and tickle and they couldn't be fucked to give you any grief.
Edit: please understand the difference between alligators and crocodiles. Also don't slap their tail regardless if you know.
You should have seen my friend who "hunted" them with nothing more than a knife. He's the one who teased me into actually slapping one. This fool would straight up just jump into some water and come back with a dead gator.
Not glorifying him or his actions, but Florida man got some experiences you can use.
Every day I open Lemmy and go "what they doin over there" at all the Americans. It's like my very own fascism terrarium. I get to enjoy it until the coup my government again
I am a South Carolinian. This vile person in no way represents the will of most South Carolinians. I am constantly embarrassed by our politicians. If people of good will in thus state woke up and just went to the polls, we could end the tenure of this evil fool and so many others, but it never happens. I am so very tired of this perpetuation of evil, and I'm so heart sick that so much of it comes from the people I grew up with.
What's going on is we live in a country with A LOT of racists and one of them is in the Oval Office, giving the thumbs up to the other racists, telling them their racism is not only acceptable, but desirable.
And a bunch of other people who are not racist, but very stupid, decided to make stupid decisions last November, allowing the racists to flourish.
Repeating the same goddamn mistakes again. This is what Americans supporting Trump want, all "undesirables" to be murdered. This is what tens of millions of us are.

It is 100% about killing rich people. Also why guillotines are talked about in the context. I don't know why you are trying to spin it any other way.
Yes. Correct. Because extreme wealth ALWAYS leads to violence against the less wealthy.
No I understand the origins. But I also have witnessed it used on here as a call to arms. I'm not referring to the origins, with which I fully agree but, rather, to what it has become as of late; it's current colloquial use.
You really think “eat the rich” is too strong of a response to the rich literally building death camps and making snide jokes about feeding all of the brown people to the alligators? People saying “eat the rich” are crossing too big of a line in this situation?
If you're good with murder, stop talking about it, then, and start acting. But keep in mind, there are worse fates than death.

I have no clue how you went from "I believe murder is wrong" to "praise the nazis", but ok.
You can't be a good person and be a billionaire. The simple fact that you have that much money means you're taking more than your share. No one is creating a billion dollars worth of work.

200k in the bank? That pauper is just one bad medical event from being homeless.
How do you define 'rich', then? Not 'ultrarich', to which I'm thinking that phrase refers in today's world.
That's how the french revolution went. Not a great outcome in the short term for most people involved. Violence, no matter how justified, has a tentency to spin out of control.

Which is almost enviable from a certain perspective... but only if you don't think about it for more than a fraction of a second.
She had a book to sell and realized that her base loves vitriolic poison. The more disgusting shit she can spew the more attention she gets. The more attention she gets the more donations she gets. No more books needed.

Seriously... She's a congealed mass of hate and greed that is roughly human shaped.
born from the very sludges of florida swamp.
Definitely ugly on the inside.
Yep. Nazis aren't actual people.
What for me about the new concentration camp was that it would have 1000 inmates but cost 500 million a year to run.
Like wtf? You could buy them all a fucking house each for that. Every year. But hey, fuck food stamps right.
The goal isn't to safely and effectively house people awaiting due process for immigration offenses.
The goal is to create a brutal inhumane quasi-death camp to eradicate scapegoat ethnicities and to provide a slush fund for pro-Nazi state governments and their jackbooted SS.
A damn nice house, too
Everybody is comparing this to nazis, I dont recall Nazi politicians competing for private prison industry backing in campaigns.
What she is doing here is vying for support from specific moneyed interests groups.
...concentration camps full of slaves for german industry?
They did compete for private industry though and thereafter for control after nationalization.
The only thing that's different from Nazis is is that Nazis were big on paper work. They absolutely competed for prisoners in one way or another.
Yes but thats the thing about it, they weren't colluding with industry they owned it. They didn't beg business owners for pittances.
What this woman is doing is a special kind of shameless and inhumane.
History doesn't repeat itself, it just rhymes. These are concentration camps. Not the first time the US Government has used them on their own citizens.
Honest? Virtue signaling though the virtue they're signaling is maliciousness.
Vice signaling
Sin signaling. It's the seven virtues and sins.
Vices are what lead you to the deadly sins. Alcohol or gambling is a vice, but not sinful in itself, etc.
They're well past vices.
What a simple, unassuming sentence filled with pure evil. Telegraphing that she is fully in favor of concentration camps and genocide
Bet you dollars to cents she goes to a church and considers herself a Christian. Let's not forget that whole "wwjd" bullshit doesn't forbid beating a mother fucker.
Imagine bragging about more prisons in your state. Like that's your fucking platform? How does that enrich the citizen's lives?
There is a perverse logic to increasing GDP by employing every white male to round up and detain mexicans. But aligators are taking white jobs, now.
And anyone who knows alligators would know they ain't down for the job! My swamp puppies eat anything regardless of skin tone.
Jesus would be ashamed.

Why tf is that limp pastry wearing a flack jacket?
She's wearing an empty plate carrier, because she forgot her never maintained ar15 and wanted to look tough.
I guess I shouldn't bitch about the ar15 maintenance, it doesn't need any when you don't fire it.
Seems like a good idea I guess if you're going to publicly say dumb stuff that makes people want to shoot you?
No idea about who she is, didn't even read the post first, just noticed her dead eyes and (bulletproof) combat vest, and immediately realized that she is probably a replublican.

The combat vest is because they really really want someone to take a shot at them because that way they can actually be the victim they envision themselves as.
If she just wandered around on the street not wearing anything no one would know who she was and would totally ignore her. That's totally unacceptable so out comes the combat vest.
shes one of the reps of NC i believe, she got her position, because she was using her "military service" as a campaign tactic.
she's the one that shouted the t-slur at Sarah McBride on the House floor.
There should be a slur database, I have no idea of what the t-slur is.
Those who would use it will find slurs anyway, those would wouldn't should have more info.
EDIT: I just found out what it is, and I have never been even close to using it in any context.
Plate carrier*
But it's all performative to these wicked fuckers. I'd wager she doesn't even have any ceramic in there.
Thanks for correcting me on the terminology!
Yeah, makes sense that she is only using it as a prop
Not correcting as much as clarifying. For some reason I find the word "correcting" insulting. May be a personal prejudice, but I didn't mean to insult you.
You absolutely did not insult me, I would have made it absolutely clear if I believed that you had.
You're a rockstar homie.
American Taliban
Just different skin tones than the actual Taliban. Otherwise pretty verbatim.
Honestly I think alligators would be less of a threat. Frankly they are easier to run away from and they're not that big on object permanence.
If you go into a room and close the door they forget about you.
That, and alligators don't really see people as food, unless you are a small child playing near the edge of the water at dusk. They can be defensive of their personal space and breeding territory, but they'd much rather be 10ft away from you than attacking you.
Source: Spent a week kayaking in a burning swamp absolutely filled with alligators. They just want to sit in the sun and be left the fuck alone.
Also they're generally chill. I grew up in South Florida and have encountered more than my fair share while canoeing, and outside of breeding season you can walk right up to them and give them a slap and tickle and they couldn't be fucked to give you any grief.
Edit: please understand the difference between alligators and crocodiles. Also don't slap their tail regardless if you know.
I think that might be the most Florida thing anyone has ever said.
You should have seen my friend who "hunted" them with nothing more than a knife. He's the one who teased me into actually slapping one. This fool would straight up just jump into some water and come back with a dead gator.
Not glorifying him or his actions, but Florida man got some experiences you can use.
Instructions unclear, closed the door and now I'm stuck in a room with an alligator. He doesn't seem to be forgetting yet.
Every day I open Lemmy and go "what they doin over there" at all the Americans. It's like my very own fascism terrarium. I get to enjoy it until the coup my government again
I'd like to see her try to wrangle up some gators to send to Florida. I'm sure they wouldn't attack her or anything.
It's astounding how fucking dumb these people are.
Alcatraz and Auschwitz are interchangeable whenever they're spoken.
Maybe she's hoping there will be movies made about her. Like Nanzi, She-Wolf of the DHS.
I am a South Carolinian. This vile person in no way represents the will of most South Carolinians. I am constantly embarrassed by our politicians. If people of good will in thus state woke up and just went to the polls, we could end the tenure of this evil fool and so many others, but it never happens. I am so very tired of this perpetuation of evil, and I'm so heart sick that so much of it comes from the people I grew up with.
Unfortunately, people of good will rarely have the willingness to go along with it.
What's going on is we live in a country with A LOT of racists and one of them is in the Oval Office, giving the thumbs up to the other racists, telling them their racism is not only acceptable, but desirable.
And a bunch of other people who are not racist, but very stupid, decided to make stupid decisions last November, allowing the racists to flourish.
We got Dedra Meero at home
Bless her heart.
