    Seriously. Look at this: https://archive.is/itNDE A WSJ article describing how Bukele is already planning to double the size of his concentration camp.

    I am fully convinced that he has signed his own death warrant at this point. Eventually, one way or another, the Trump regime will end. And building a concentration camp for American citizens is not something people will forgive or forget. Cries will go out to depose him like we have countless Central American leaders before, except this time we’ll actually be on the side of the angels for once. Bukele is going to get the Osama Bin Ladin treatment by the time this is all over. He has signed his own death warrant.

      Lmao you won’t be on the side of Angels. You know what kind of shit you people did to Pakistan in order to get Bin Laden? Probably don’t care because the bad guy died and everyone got to feel good for sitting back and awaiting the news. Absolutely disgusting to see this kind of take. Just casually overlooking the amount of lives suffering over a potential American invasion. Because those always manage to be subtle with few civilian casualties.

        If one country is happily holding innocent people from another country in concentration camps, I’m not going to cry many tears when they invade. Of course I’d prefer the USA deals with its own shit first and stops sending them over in the first place, but if Bukele isn’t sending them back when the US asks for them back, then what else do you expect to happen?

          You are parroting the neocon position and directly showing the logic of how socialism without anti-imperialism just devolves into liberalism and imperialism. The logic you’re using has justified the American empire for the last 30 years.

      :i-want-to-believe:

      History so far says the democrats won’t do this. But there has to be a breaking point somewhere. I can sell “Kill Bukele” to any Democrat voter pretty easily. They might flinch but at most they’ll just say “not in public”. Getting democrat politicians on board is an entirely different story. It makes for a compelling transitional demand. Will certainly serve to separate the chaff from the wheat with democrats.
