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.

      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
