hey friends where is that picture of boromir with the gondor flag except its a pride flag?
Couldn’t find it so I made another because you’re right that it’s a crime and it’s definitely my duty to remedy it

its time for the tantrum hole
its kinda hard to celebrate trans day of visibility because the visibility we're getting lately is like
gender essentialism is soooo funny bc it's like "this is what women are like" and you're like "I've met women and many of them, if not the majority, have not been like that" and it's like "well women SHOULD be like that" and you're like "why should women be like that" and its like "because that's what women are like"
Something I wish more people acknowledged when making the Nazi / ICE comparison is that concentration camps were more than just places where people were sent to be imprisoned and/or to await execution.
Like modern prisons, they were also conveniently filled with masses of easily exploitable free labor forces- and this goes for both sides of the war. The German camp that my great-uncle was placed in forced them to repair railroad lines destroyed during the war, and per the War Relocation Act, many Japanese Americans interned here in the US were also forced into hard labour in agriculture & construction.
When Donald Trump says that rounding up immigrants will fix our economy, many people look at those pretty words from a workers perspective and assume he means freeing up American Jobs(tm) for Real American Patriots(tm) to secure. After all, that's the narrative his regime has been spinning. But even beyond the grotesque and racist implications of believing that justification at face value, it's also just fucking stupid to believe him at all. Donald Trump is a billionaire part of the capitalist ruling class which exists solely on the exploitation of workers- as evident by his own slew of lawsuits from workers he refused to pay- so why on Earth would he do anything to benefit them?
No, when Donald Trump says these camps will fix the economy, he is working for the benefit of other billionaires in his class. And only one thing truly benefits them; free or ridiculously cheap labor.
In 2019, folks imprisoned by ICE in California sued GEO Group for forcing them to work under a "voluntary" work program (actually under threat of harm or solitary confinement) so that the company did not have to hire more staff to maintain the detention center. CoreCivic was accused of the same in 2023. These are private companies hired to create and staff these detention facilities & they were also some of the biggest financial supporters of Trump's campaign. Conveniently, these lawsuits tend to die in or out of court, or be drawn out indefinitely. A man who sued GEO Group for forced labor in a Colorado detention center in 2014 is still pending resolution. (Side note but GEO Group also just rejected a shareholder vote to review their Human Rights conduct. Normal behavior when you're definitely not violating human rights.)
Why does all this matter? Because it's exactly how things started in the Holocaust, too. Forced labour was, at first, limited to working within the camp completing everything that needed to be done, as it far exceeded the capabilities of the Nazi workers alone. Easy enough to justify. Only when the war created shortfalls in other work sectors did the Nazi party push this labour to the next level- outsourcing that labour to companies like Volkswagen, who coordinated with Hitler to take control of several of those camps. This is not to say that extermination wasn't always the end goal of the Nazi Party, only that forced labour played an active part in the design of that cruelty, and it GREATLY benefited the German economy. Trust that it is part of the design here, too- and that it always has been. Trump is just one president in a long line to continually expand these operations to their own benefit.
And of course, I would be remiss not to mention it again; poorly-paid, outsourced labor is already the status quo for the American prison industrial complex. If you can justify it once, you can justify it again and again and again... Just something to chew on as ICE detainments ramp up and that untapped labor force keeps growing. Watch for billionaires frothing at the mouth for opportunities to use it.

Picture it. You spend a year getting ready to confront the Big Bad so you can then get everyone to focus on the whole End of the World thing. The Big Bad has a Second Guy who tells Big Bad they should hire an assassin. Second Guy then hires an Assassin with Big Bad's money to go and kill you. The Assassin fails and is at your mercy. You end up sparing his life. Now he's your friend. You finally confront the Big Bad. You duel. The Big Bad loses and you end up sparing his life. Guess what. Now he's your friend. And then a few months later some guy is in a jail cell because he wanted to assassinate you. Turns out he's Second Guy's son and he wanted to kill you because you killed his dad and he's really upset about it. You end up sparing his life. Now he's your friend. This happened to my good friend, the Warden.
