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 don’t like what they put on their own bodies so I don’t care what happens to them” must be the most brain-dead sentence I’ve read all year

        stupid. half the college grads I know, a good number of vets, and none who have ever been in trouble, ever, have tattoos. you are just sick in the head. I don’t have tattos, don’t like them, but I don’t choose my friends by it, or use it as a moral compass.

            i know no good people named shuhsha, and one bad one, therefore we should fucking find and kill them, lock you up and let you suffer the most inhumane fate known to mankind.

            yeah it sounds pretty stupid?

            or are you different? this isn’t a real argument, it’s in bad faith as a matter of category.

            man i’ll stop feeding the troll but whoever you are i hope you know you’re stupid, vile fucking human garbage and partly responsible for the destruction of western society, not whatever weird bizzaro rhetoric you might have in turn to explain why it isn’t “like the good ol days”.

            i’d type more but im frankly not even sure you can fucking read, idiot. lmfao.

                Man, you guys really get upset and uncivil just because somebody said they don’t like tattoos

                No, the downvotes are because you said

                I’m honestly ok with this

                It’s fine to not like tattoos. Other people in this thread have also said that they also don’t like tattoos, but they’re not being downvoted. You’re the one arguing in bad faith here.

                There’s always been healthy discussion online about people not liking tattoos, regretting a particular one, discussing the costs of removal, and discouraging others. There’s no conspiracy pushing for one side over the other. What people do agree on is that detention based on the presence of tattoos alone, is wrong.

                somebody said they don’t like tattoos and they’re an indicator of undesirable people.

                Not the objectionable part, and you should know it. You’re either arguing in bad faith, or your mind is genuinely broken.

        So where does the jump from “people that I should avoid” to rounding up and being sent to concentration camps happen? I don’t really care if you avoid people with tattoos, but where do you get off using that as a basis for persecution?

            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

        I never liked tattoos and they’re more-often-than-not an indicator of people that I should avoid.

        I never liked bootlicking, individualistic, snowflake fascists and they’re more-often-than-not an indicator of people that I should avoid.

        I never liked glasses… People who wears glasses think they make them look more inteligent, and it’s true.

        And that’s why I’m OK with putting every g*asses wearer in the meat grinder.

        Yeah, totally normal train of thoughts
