Is there going to be room in the detention camps for the homeless?
Instead of Jews, it's Hispanics. Instead of gypsies, it's the homeless. And instead of trans people....well that one is the same.
What makes you think that Trump intends to spare the gypsies?
We don't really have Roma people in the US.
But we do have people who can be accused of being Roma, followed by an explanation of why that is somehow bad.
Objective truth no longer has a horse in this race.
Yeah but I don't think most people in the US know what that is. It wouldn't be useful to them. If they wanted to demonize someone, they'd call them addicts or illegal immigrants or something.
Most people in the US don't even know the Roma consider 'Gypsy' to be a slur.
They also don't know that the same slur is used for Irish Travellers. Or that there are such a thing as Irish Travellers.
Bro america has Travelers. They are Roma people. You didn't know this?
Lolbruh, plenty of room on the cattle cars for all of the above. Maybe I’ll run into you.
It's so easy to imagine camps where they implant the homeless with a neuralink chip, dress them up in an Optimus suit and put them to work in a mega factory.
I think you would like the movie "Sorry to Bother You".
I was thinking more of The Black Hole (1979). They used this concept in a way. And that was even a Disney movie.
I loved that movie growing up. Idk if you saw the one I mentioned, but it really has almost everything you talked about in it. Not Optimus suit so much, but the rest.
I've seen the Sorry to bother you. I recall the jail/sweat shop thing. Seems like conditions in many Asian places.
Those camps will be the answer to homelessness if these ghouls have their way.
They are having their way, there's no "if" anymore.
They have to put that concentration of people somewhere.
Aren't you listening? There are no homeless and there definitely aren't any detention camps.
