remember that they move on vibes...they want concentration camps, authoritarianism and censorship, but using those words give bad vibes, so they have to use better words to not have their feels threatened

I just saw a text saying something along the lines: "concentrations camps, as seen by the soviets and germans" and it shook me. Even natopedia does not list the soviet union as users of concentration camps. Is there any good ressource to refute such a stupid claim?

Losurdo's book on Stalin talks about the near universal use of concentration camps by allies and axis imperial powers before, during and after ww2.

Very cool! Thank you. I just found that exact book recommended by others as well. I'll have a look.

The folks in Florida should follow the example set by Los Angeles, CA and Alvarado, TX and banish these fascists back to the snake den they came from.

This is maybe a bit too conspiratorial for my liking, but I heard this take:

RFK Jr. has said something about how everyone will have a wearable medical device soon. Him and others also want lists of people with certain medical diagnoses.

Florida has recently immunized doctors from wrongful death/malpractice leading to death lawsuits.

The research institution doing a lot of stuff for Neuralink is very close to this new concentration camp.
