Comment on Is anyone planning on doing anything about trump creating a concentration camp at guantanamo bay?
Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 1 day agoBush II was already fascist and used gitmo for exactly that. It’s specifically outside the US boarder so they can make an argument that American civil rights laws don’t apply there. At the very least, press and public can’t reach it.
People were screaming from the top of their lungs that this exact scenario. Yes, this was expected and we cared too much about the economy to care.

Again, this is a false equivalence. Show me where bush II staged a coup. I have no love for the man but it’s entirely irrelevant to what is happening today.

Show me on the timeliness where, “people shouted at the top of their lungs” that gizmo would be repurposed to open concentration camps.

You really don’t understand what false equivalence is and frankly I can teach you if you haven’t caught on yet.

Oh so as long as people aren’t open and proud about it, you’re fine with thousands of innocent Iraqis and Afghanis being raped and tortured by Uncle Sam.
Good to know the only real problem here for you is the rhetoric.

What you’re saying right now is rhetoric. I have never been for gitmo, and you fucking know that. Gtfo with you lecturing anyone about rhetoric.

It’s not rhetoric. It’s what you’re saying by attacking those critical of GitMo pre-Trump.
