SAY THE WORDS: AMERICAN CONCENTRATION CAMP
davidgate.substack.com
We are sending people there and they are not coming back.

By all criteria, this a concentration camp. Not “concentration camp” as rhetorical inflation, or emotionally manipulative shorthand, or edgy metaphor—but as in: literally.

As in: detention without trial, state control, inhumane living conditions, forced labor, dehumanization, brutal violence, isolation from accountability, psychological torture, and—by every available logical extension—murder.

That last one we can’t yet verify in the strict evidentiary sense, but the circumstances suggest it like smoke suggests fire, and they are already trying to hide their actions and deny what is occurring.

    This facility, built under President Nayib Bukele’s “war on gangs,” houses over 40,000 men, most of whom were arrested en masse without any process resembling justice—just tattoos, zip codes, or looking nervous.

    Not just American deportees…

        The salvadoran government was significantly supported by the US during their civil war. The war lead to mass migration of Salvadorans to the US. MS-13 was originally an LA street gang that the US deported to El Salvador, an act which launched it into an international cartel. They didn’t “make their culture this way”, the US sluffed it’s own problem upon them.

        Tattoos are not a sign of a culture getting bad.

        Your behavior of intolerance is a sign, however.

        People like you are why I wish the US had re-education camps like China. You need to unlearn your bullshit.

            most of whom were arrested en masse without any process resembling justice—just tattoos, zip codes, or looking nervous.

            That’s the price they pay for letting their culture get that bad.

            Why are you talking about tattoos here?

            The person you’re responding to highlighted some text from the article, pointing to injustice of the regime by believing tattoos automatically = jail.

            You said their “bad culture” is the price they pay, implicitly grouping tattoo, zip codes, and looking nervous defined by the previous comment all under “bad culture” of those who do go to jail.

            You then gaslight me for pointing out your fascism and disregard for civil liberties by avoiding any correlation with tattoos because you didn’t mention them explicitly.

            Every knows what you were talking about bro. The fact you asked this question makes me think you’re a troll with no convictions for attacking modern fascism. Thanks for giving that away so all of us can treat you as such.
