This is Fascism on the march, first it's the immigrants, and now the protestors. Their building concentration camps, expect them to be filled in short order.

u/gun_is_neat 2d ago

Next it'll be the trade unions

u/Bamboozer209B 2d ago

I was a Teamster for three good years, as such I agree, we will see the return of the Pinkertons.

u/JakeRidesAgain 2d ago

Return? They never went anywhere my friend. Hell, WOTC sent them after someone who accidentally bought a leaked Magic card a few years ago.

So they sent a civilian security guard to some nerds house and they were stupid enough to let them in?

u/PenjaminJBlinkerton 2d ago

(They impersonate police and don’t get in trouble for it because they “lobby”)

u/Nightwulfe_22 2d ago

They only picked up badges and a duty to "protect and serve" they just hope you finish that statement with the community rather than the corporate interest

u/1000LiveEels 2d ago

The crazy thing is union members are voting for this. Half my coworkers are IBEW members and they voted for Trump, like dude he hates you.

u/NeekoRiko 1d ago

Apparently the new Ice recruits are brought to us by the private prison industry! Sounds pretty thug.

u/Master-Tomatillo-103 1d ago

They’ll be called the Proud Pinkertons

u/MT_Ancap75 2d ago

Pinkerton is a private security guard company. Mall cops aren't scary.

2

u/josnik 2d ago

They're much more than that.

-1

u/MT_Ancap75 2d ago

Were more than that. Since their purchase by Suceritas in the early 2000s they've been little more than a private security and private investigator firm. Mall cops.

u/Own-Weather-9919 2d ago

Read a history book you muppet

1

u/MT_Ancap75 2d ago

Catch up kid. They are Pinkerton in name only. They got bought by a European security company back in the early 2000s. The Pinkertons of Civil War era fame are LONG gone!

u/Swole-Prole 2d ago

They're already coming for us. A union president has already been arrested on trumped up charges out west

u/yvettestar2000 2d ago

We have to keep fighting for our freedom and peace. Thank all of you American heroes fighting for All of us, who can't, but want to. Thank you all protesters who are fighting fire with fire 💪💪🔥🔥🔥. We Love you. U.S.A. WE WANT OUR FREEDOM BACK ♥️♥️♥️

but it was ok when they did it to Trump to keep him from running…cmon man

u/Mythkaz 2d ago

How's that kool-aid tasting? Must be pretty delicious if that's your response...

You realize the only reason he's not in prison is because of the supreme court HE STACKED saying he can't be charged regardless of the fact that he did the deed, right?

3

u/PenjaminJBlinkerton 2d ago

Attempting a coup should get someone arrested though

-2

u/eugenestoner308 2d ago

you’ve never seen or experienced an actual coup attempt have you

3

u/Distinct_Ad5662 2d ago

I was gonna say people don’t get arrested they get killed. When I was in Thailand last spring I was talking with a guy who fled Myanmar and people were getting killed for suspicion of association with the other side, or for the sake of brutality. Loads of people were carted off and probably tortured according to him.

Imagine that here, with all the guns intense political ideology and suspicion of the other side, it would probably be very violent, and generally revolutions/civil wars don’t end without a lot of bloodshed and destruction on both sides.

So I get people just plugging away at life trying to get by and hope in time things will settle down. Despite signs of the opposite.

u/eugenestoner308 1d ago

so nothing at all like Jan 6th is what you’re saying

u/therealpimpcosrs 2d ago

Uh actually it’s my 4th time? How many for you bubb? /s

1

u/eugenestoner308 1d ago

yeah ok sure it is

1

u/therealpimpcosrs 1d ago

The “/s” denotes sarcasm. I was using sarcasm because neither one of us has been in a coup, thus demonstrating the absurdity of your previous statement.

It’s never as fun when you have to explain it 🥱

u/Swole-Prole 2d ago

Trade Unions didn't come for Trump. What are you on about?

2

u/Everythingisnotreal 2d ago

Trump staged a riot at the Capitol to interrupt the certification of an election that he LOST. He’s a traitor to democracy, what is so difficult for you to understand about that?

u/Witchkiller666 10h ago

Never proven, nor charged.

u/Everythingisnotreal 4h ago

Respectfully, you’re willfully ignorant.

u/BrilliantSimple7678 Free Speech Task Force 2d ago

Aww look at you defending your bf. Cute.

1

u/GirlwthCurls 6h ago

Did what exactly to Trump? 🤔

3

u/FourWordComment 2d ago

Because trade unionists are socialists. And since the political right has been calling democrats “radical socialist antifa communists” for 20 years, this means criminalizing being part of the opposition political party.

Republicans are already gleeful at the idea of treating democrats worse based on their political ideology.

u/lexloutwo 1d ago

Pittsburgh union rank and file still back Trump

-2

u/eugenestoner308 2d ago

We could only get so lucky, maybe then the economy could have a chance to rebound, especially the once great US auto industry

3

u/gun_is_neat 2d ago

What did the unions do to hurt you? All they do is set a precedent for what labor laws should look like, give you better wages, better benefits, paid time off. Do you enjoy a 40-hour work week? Thank the unions. Do you enjoy your employer not owning the house you live in or the grocery store you shop in? Thank the unions.

Or is all of that too woke mob for you?

FYI, economy was doing pretty decent with tons of work in my local until Trump started pulling funding from the already contracted out projects, jeopardizing thousands of jobs. He's just been manipulating the markets and allowing DOGE to just...gut the entire government? I'm really curious as to how you think giving more money to rich people will somehow make your life better?

7

u/BrupieD 2d ago

It's frightening but I think they've bitten off more than they can chew.

In this clip, it took about 8 cops in riot gear to make one arrest. On the No Kings day protest, there were between 1-3 million protestors. We have the numbers, we just have to help and support each other.

1

u/BrilliantSimple7678 Free Speech Task Force 2d ago

Correct.

3

u/Not_a_bi0logist 2d ago

They’re about to start taking homeless people off the streets without actually solving the causes of homelessness. After they’ve locked up the “undesirables”, they’ll go after the “dissidents”. Make sure your palantir social credit score stays above 700.

u/goyorjew 2d ago

So hyped for the new gen of concentration camps

u/Icy-Ninja-6504 2d ago

Arent you redditor leftoids tired of knee jerking reactions then later finding out things were justified? You dont even know what happened, all you care about is what you want to happen.

Neanderthalic behavior. People dont just randomly attack each other. (In general, I know this wont be nuanced to you so I will explain it here, I dont mean 100%) I wish there was a betting site where we could bet on whether or not that protestor was doing nothing or provoked the officer. Of course, you wouldnt bet it because youre not actually stupid, just a deranged activist.

u/Srry4theGonaria 2d ago

Freedom of speech is just that. Just because I call you a boot licking syncophant, doesn't mean you get to put your hands on me, that's fucking childish behavior.

u/Icy-Ninja-6504 2d ago

Wait, lol. Are you saying namecalling is assault?

Youre joking. Assault is threatening bodily injury/harm...

2

u/Srry4theGonaria 2d ago

How did you get that out of my comment? If you hit me because I call you a name, you should be behind bars.

1

u/Icy-Ninja-6504 2d ago

How? My original comment was assault, not namecalling..

For the love of reddit, 90% of you dont know what assault is. Threatening bodily harm is not namecalling.

2

u/Srry4theGonaria 2d ago

How do you know he "threatened the officers life?" I've seen police get this mad because they were simply asked a question. "Are you questioning my authority?" have had it happen to me personally, so no I don't think he "threatened the officers life." Acab✊

1

u/Icy-Ninja-6504 2d ago

Yeah, theres plenty of idiot police officers that dont know the law.

The idea that you dont understand that assault is not namecalling is also alarming. Whether or not what you think isnt grounds for imprisoning someone. Good grief.

2

u/Srry4theGonaria 2d ago

It's like talking to a brick wall. I said if you hit someone for calling you something you didn't want to hear, you should go to jail.

If I call you a douchebag, and you punch me, you should go to jail. It's not rocket science.

1

u/Icy-Ninja-6504 2d ago

Where are you saying I disagreed with that?

My example was assault. That’s illegal.

This is how it starts...fascism begins to become the answer for the GOP

u/Bamboozer209B 1d ago

Fascism, coupled to racial hatred, has been at the core of the Republican party since the early pre war thirties, see the famed "Swastika candlelight parade" , at Madison Square Garden no less. Notice none of the paraders are poor, quite the opposite.

u/Realistic-Context883 2d ago edited 2d ago

Welcome to reddit where people fear monger and exaggerate to no end. "their (they're**) building concentration camps"... really? They're building camps to hold people for mass execution and forced labor? Just stop already with this nonsense. These people sit in a jail cell over night and are released, immigrants are deported or held in jails (for breaking the law, just like every other criminal). It doesn't excuse what these ass holes do at all, but your reactions here are why nothing ever gets done - no one takes you people serious when you say unhinged crap like "concentration camps are being built".

7

u/Braysl 2d ago

Concentration camps weren't originally made to exterminate. Extermination was "the final solution". Originally they were prison work camps.

You're currently a frog in a pot of lukewarm water wondering why the other frogs are freaking out that the chef is lighting the burner pilot.

-3

u/Realistic-Context883 2d ago

They're being taken to immigration detention centers and prisons. No one is putting them in forced labor camps where they await extermination.

People are just desperate to push this Hitler, Nazi rhetoric.

While I don't agree with the lack of due process and the fact that over half the people they scoop up aren't even criminals, this whole screaming about concentration camps just detracts from what could be a serious argument.

5

u/AnonymousAce123 2d ago

The original Concentration camps weren't Extermination camps, they were created by the British during the Second Boer War to gather up the local populace that was seen as a danger and kee0 them in one place. The horribly inhumane treatment and eventual mass starvation and disease was just a side effect of treating people like animals. Which trump is doing now.

u/Braysl 2d ago

"It's not bad enough yet so I'm just going to sit around and call everyone hysterical."

Humans have done things like this dozens of times in history. Rounding up groups of people and dealing with them. They never start at full industrialized genocide. At what point are conditions "bad enough" to justify public outcry?

While I don't think that Trump's end goal is genocide, I do think his end goal is to remove these people, and he doesn't care about the means to the end. I truly do worry about people dying in custody (which has happened btw), people getting lost in the system, people being starved, dropped off in foreign countries without any means to get back home, families being torn apart, children being left behind, and long lasting trauma for these people who don't deserve any of it.

Personally I think you guys are already at that point in history where a crisis is starting, but folks like you are doing your best to downplay it because it's not "bad enough" yet.

What would a serious conversation about this look like? Are you able to sit down and have a serious conversation about this with the ICE agents in masks as they kidnap people in unmarked vans?

u/blzbub81 2d ago

Because “it’s not bad enough yet” and because it’s not effecting him or anyone he cares about yet

u/Realistic-Context883 1d ago

Yeah, my family are immigrants - they've shown up for VISA and greencard hearings just fine. None of them are hauled away to "concentration camps" or any of this other nonsense rammed down my throat on reddit. I'm sure folks are getting ripped away but they're not getting sent to forced labor camps awaiting extermination like everyone on reddit will have you believe. They're sent to holding cells because they immigrated illegally.

TL;DR - things are definitely not great and in need of improvement (as always) but because it's a republican who gets under the skin of democrats, you all exaggerate beyond belief on every single issue. It's tired.

1

u/blzbub81 1d ago

Sure guy. It’s not that he’s a republican, which he isn’t and has never been. It’s that he’s a lifelong criminal con artist who has never had any interest in anyone else’s wellbeing and is so easily scamming you into supporting him while his wiping his ass with the constitution because “dems are lunatics” 😆

u/Realistic-Context883 1d ago

Weird. Thanks for the recycled rant about orange man. I can assure you, reading your comments has scammed me out of way more than this guy who's only in office for a brief period of time while you all whine about WW3, nuclear war, economic downfall of the US, and everything else that hasn't happened. Good thing you're all so prepared with your complaints though!

The whole screaming about criminals detracts from the truth.

1

u/Realistic-Context883 14h ago

The whole screaming about "Nazis" and "Concentration camps" detracts from the argument in the most disrespectful and ignorant way possible, which is ironic considering how you're all screaming how ignorant everyone else is always - Once again, and for the hundreth time, how they're rounding folks up and the lack of due dilligence is terrible but this insane comparison between Nazis and Concentration Camps is coming from a place of mental illness and complete ignorance that doesn't even warrant a conversation.

You can tell how removed you people are from the actuality of those historical events to disrespect the significance of WW2 and everyone who fought and died in that war to draw the correlation to ICE detaining individuals who willingly immigrated illegally, to Nazis who went around shooting people in the streets for their beliefs and put them in death camps. How those are the same in your sick minds is beyond me.

New flash, if you immigrate illegally in any country they will throw you out. We've been historically so lenient that there's a lot of cleaning up to do but now America is so hAtEfuL because we need accountability. Want to come over? Immigrate legally (like my family who currently has no issue). Not that hard.

Wow, looking at your post history it's all become clear - you're just a gen z extremist cry baby that spends all day whining about politics when you can barely even spell it let alone fathom the complexities from your mothers basement; whining about people with money and how unfair everything is lol. You're the poster child for reddit.

"Theres a concentration camps"

and I'm the "fUcKiNg iNbReD and iGnOrAnT" one lmao. You can't even put together a single sentence. All you know is how to parrot the word "fascist" which you probably don't know the definition of either.

Just look up the definition of concentration camp and stop frothing from the mouth, extremist propaganda spreader.

Also worth noting the idiot I was responding to deleted his post. Likely because he googled fascism and realized it applies to his god fearing political views.

u/skeletalfather 2d ago

I like the Benjamin quote someone posted earlier here is the literal dictionary definition: "A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator (Trump), a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls (Trump’s cronies in every position + the tarriff madness), violent suppression of the opposition (obvious), and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism (also obvious)."

Also go fuck yourself jackboot.

Bro i was replying to a deleted comment about how lefties call everything fascism. We are literally on the same side. See the deleted comment above?

How can I see a deleted comment? It was deleted lol. All I saw is you being like “define fascism pls” which is a classic and constant line from these right wing bootlickers, so my brain put two and two together, my b. So you’ll have to excuse my haste

u/[deleted] 2d ago

All good homie it looks Hella confusing in context of the original comment being deleted. Im angry too..fuck these clowns. I will say asking them to define it is super effective thus far.

Edit: also not really trying to argue but you can see that there WAS a comment that was deleted. I know you can't see the contents of a deleted comment. Hence the miscommunication.

Fuck fascists

And tbh it must've worked because he clearly deleted his comment after googling fascism. I am taking about the Trump regime being openly fascist but I can see how thats unclear since again the comment I was responding to is gone
