GEO Group and CoreCivic face competition as the agency looks to dramatically reduce the number of immigrant jails by shifting to massive warehouses

What's going on is that people are rejecting most of the warehouse-to-concentration-camp conversions, so they're going to pick a few really huge ones to do, and pick locations where they can overcome local opposition.

We've already had folks try lighting them on fire, but that's tough with modern construction. Nowhere near as easy as when the OSS simple sabotage field manual was written

I'm sure people are creative enough to figure stuff out

Nah Pam Bondis brother has a company with old warehouses they bought up that they are selling to ice for 4x market value.

These are ultimately going to be death camps. That's why they need the incinerators in all these places not meant for human habitation.

It took almost a decade for Nazi Germany to get to the point of concentration camps and then to start turning to gas chambers/incinerators to perform mass genocide.

Turns out, even the most hardcore jew-hating Nazi's couldn't handle just unloading on a crowd of prisoners in the concentration camps with a gun on full auto and mowing innocent people down.

We know this because they legitimately tried that first, and their most hardcore Nazi SS troopers couldn't do it.

So then they built the gas chambers.

We're not there yet, but we're very, very close, and we're barely a year in.

Fascism's moving faster than it used to.

I'm not sure we're going to get extermination camps, or at least not ones dedicated to killing. They need slaves since they're rounding up a lot of people doing jobs that no one else wants.

Not saying that millions of people won't die, I just think they'll be worked to death instead. It's basically how the US was built anyways.

I doubt they'll be straight up death camps. They'll be forced labor camps because the country will need slaves once all the immigrants who were basically slaves to begin with are rounded up.

Not that it's much of a distinction, but theoretically less should die before we piss the world off enough to invade us.

Just tell a bunch of meth heads there's copper in there. The building would be useless overnight.

So there's actually a non-zero chance it's just a scam and they won't actually be used.

All research in successful drug policy shows that treatment should be increased and law enforcement decreased while abolishing mandatory minimum sentences.

Trump is going to do the same shit Putin did and funnel the money for maintaining the nuclear arsenal into the pockets of oligarchs. I'll be surprised if we have functional nukes 5 years from now.

We should all consider what to do when we see a cattle truck full of people on the highway.

They're going to kill by the most efficient means possible: inaction & bureaucracy

They're going to drag their feet and pretend that they are not leaving people to die in cages, when they are.

We Will never know the total number. Where are the 2,000 people from alligator Alcatraz? Where the fuck did they go?
