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.

    So where does the jump from “people that I should avoid” to rounding up and being sent to concentration camps happen? I don’t really care if you avoid people with tattoos, but where do you get off using that as a basis for persecution?

        I’m not using it as a basis for persecution. I’m saying that I don’t care if they are persecuted

        Those things are the same thing.

        First they came for the Communists

        And I did not speak out

        Because I was not a Communist

        Then they came for the Socialists

        And I did not speak out

        Because I was not a Socialist

        Then they came for the trade unionists

        And I did not speak out

        Because I was not a trade unionist

        Then they came for the Jews

        And I did not speak out

        Because I was not a Jew

        Then they came for me

        And there was no one left

        To speak out for me
