    These will become impossible to deny as concentration camps. The regime must be prosecuted like Nuremberg. Let’s not forget that.

      well as i understand it, concentration camps are defined as places you concentrate “undesirables” to get them out of society while you figure out what to do with them long term.

      like, definitionally, we’re undeniably already there. the first nazi camps were supposed to be deportation camps too.

      problem is no country will actually let you dump people on them like that. the only truly viable long term answer for this kind of plan is to kill them in the end. however, that’s distasteful, so they usual end up staying there until they all starve because at least then no one had to give the order to kill.

      Lets also not forget that Nuremberg was woefully inadequate and failed to push Nazi collaborators out of power.

      “The Nuremberg trials could try only a small sampling of major Nazi war criminals. German restitution negotiations were bound to have an unhappy ending, since no payments could possibly erase the harm or painful memories. No problems related to the Holocaust could be resolved quickly or adequately. Nor could they be swept under the carpet and be expected to disappear.” ~Benjamin B. Ferencz, Chief Prosecutor of the US Army for the Einsatzgruppen Trial"

      I can only imagine how satisfying it was for the world to watch the Nuremberg trials unfold and Nazis get hung or shot.

      I really hope we get ours.

        I wonder how the “good” Germans who didn’t support Hitler but also just showed up every couple of months for a few hours to protest the concentration camps when and where the Nazis said they could felt after the trials. Totally vindicated in their inaction in the face of pure evil I’m sure.

      They’re already impossible to deny as concentration camps, and we’re only a few months away from (Spoilers for 2026 ahead, stop reading here) being undeniably death camps.

      I genuinely worry that trump will just drop dead before he faces justice for all the heinous shit hes done. He’ll die without facing any accountability for anything.

      The fact that he’s not rotting in prison for the rest of his life after 1/6 is such a fucking miscarriage of justice

        Hitler killed himself to avoid prosecution, that didn’t stop the prosecution of other people who participated or followed his orders.

          Sure, and I know that will happen, but I want the people at the top to face justice too.

          Any justice is better than none, but I want the architects behind bars.

          And to clarify, I don’t even think it will get to the point where Trump offs himself, I just think he is a very sick old man who is showing concerning medical signs.

    this drove me a little nuts because its aurora and the place is on peoria street and the writer comes from chicago. I think. this is somewhere in colorado near denver but it sounds like it could be in far suburban chicago.

    • A persistent failure to adequately treat inmates’ health issues with medicine beyond a single dose of Ibuprofen
    • A proliferation of diagnoses for serious mental health conditions like schizophrenia that inmates had never suffered from before *
    • An overall lack of sufficient calories and vegetables
    • Verbal and physical abuse by guards
    • Extreme temperatures
    • Forced labor

    * That’s the worst one IMO. They want to make these people disappear even if their fascist takeover does not go quite as planned. It’s planned. A failsafe. They go to the effort of “encouraging” doctors or even hiring those they know will do their bidding.
