Team Trump Is Gaming Out How to Ship U.S. Citizens to El Salvador | Trump officials are talking internally about denaturalizing American citizens — and potentially sending some to El Salvador
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956
Jordan Peterson constantly quotes Solzhenitsyn warning of what the Liberal party would do to canada or the democrats would do to the usa. He would then promote a tool like polievre or an overt fascist orangeman without any irony at all. Today he seems to be confused about what fascism is and has oftentimes waffles between endorsing them or trying to avoid discussing them, like a true intellectual coward who was wrong about everything he ever said
He's not confused about what fascism is, he knows and he wants it. Just like any fascist, you can't take what he says at face value, it's all trolling games like the Sartre quote.
If there was an honest to God legal way they'd already have figured it out along with everything else in Project 2025, long before coming into office.
They're trying to find out a better loophole than the last one, which blew up in their face. And trying to find ways to remove the people in the way of said loopholes.
Planning would entail following the law, customs, and procedures.
If they just steamroll everyone with bullshit and make it up as they go then everyone else is scrambling to sort out wtf they are doing and figure out what rules were broken.
that will just give them an excuse to murder you immediately, and then the right to murder anyone immediately.
although I'm not sure what else can be done, without saying anything illegal that might get me in an FBI watchlist and give me expedited tickets to a free vacation in el Salvador
Don't have to get them all by yourself. If everyone they try to arrest gets just one of them they will run out of men a lot faster than they will arrest everyone they want to get rid of. There are way way way way more of us than there are of them if we would get off our asses and stand up for each other and ourselves.
Then you can learn to fly drones. You might stand a chance against a combat helicopter with a good drone. :) And if things don't hit the fan, you just have a nice and peaceful hobby. :)
But what if it isn't a bunch of "legal" authorities? When this all kicks off, which is looking more and more likely, you wont have to worry as much about the authorities, who will already have their hands full, you have to worry about your local MAGA Morons, who will realize that their long-held fantasy of a a Liberal Purge is finally upon them.
All they have to do is look up the voting registrations on their county's website, and they can easily put together a hit list of Libz in their own neighborhood, and go house to house, doing their duty to their MAGA Nazi leaders, knowing they will be praised as patriots for their murder spree.
That's who you have to worry about. If you can plug one before he gets you, then you can take HIS guns and ammo, and start building your own arsenal.
Right now, I'd advise people to do as much outreach as possible to people you know. If you're on commercial social media, post a screenshot, put the link in a comment. Send a DM. Put up stickers.
Building the level of support that would be necessary to win a revolution likely makes nonviolent paths such as impeachment possible.
The guns are to prevent violent suppression of that public support. Not as a first choice.
It's not about winning. It's about resisting. You don't only resist when you have good odds of winning. The people that fought the Warsaw ghetto uprising knew they would die. It is better to die taking down a few Nazis then to die on their terms.
I’m not exactly the most active person. Not been to protests here in Canada but I do vote and all that. But ya know what I don’t do? I don’t actively discourage people from protecting themselves.
You have already lost. The question is whether or not you’re willing to fight back and win in round two.
The guns are to prevent violent suppression of that public support.
That's one part of it, but also people should be defending themselves and their communities from ICE and one way to do that is guns. When an ICE agent is arresting your neighbor the correct option isn't to preach nonviolence, but to pull the damn trigger.
And go where? Gotta work. Gotta eat. At a certain point if you’re not in the top 5% of applicants, you’re screwed. Your choice is die on your knees or die fighting.
No place on earth is far enough away from the fuckwits who control everything. I wish leaving the US would be the end of it, but everywhere sucks.
It's impressive how much of the recent deportation scheme leans on the cooperation of one tin-pot state.
There aren't that many other places with concentration camps conveninently located and leadership ready to deal. It's unlikely they'd build them domestically, it would take time, cost a fortune, and not achieve the explicit "we removed the evil foreigners" goal.
It would be interesting to see what happened if someone said "we'll pay you more than what America is paying to close the door." Would he have to just knock on every presidential palace in the hemisphere looking for a new partner? Try to scale Guantanamo 100x overnight?
It's easier if you're not ideologically consistent, maybe we sell their labor to North Korea for some peace. But if there were ideological consistency, it would be to trade these poor souls on the block chain.
All while they insist that it is impossible for them to have anyone returned from there; even if the person was sent there "by mistake " in direct violation of multiple court orders, even if there are court orders to repatriate the person, and even if those orders come from SCOTUS.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed this week that the president has discussed this idea privately, too, adding he would only do this “if it’s legal.” [...] Stephen Yale-Loehr, a retired immigration law professor at Cornell University, tells Rolling Stone he worries Trump could try to deport citizens anyway, court precedent be damned, given how the administration seems to be “attacking on all fronts and worrying later whether their actions are legal. So unfortunately, it would not surprise me if we saw at least one plane load of incarcerated U.S. citizens being shipped off to El Salvador.”
Oh, at least one
“It’s not like we would send everybody there — but depending on the case, it can be an option,” says one of the people familiar with the matter,
Riiiiight. That's what they said about the deportations, that it would only be the worst, most violent criminals taken into custody and returned home. Instead they're snatching people off the streets and out of their homes, throwing them into vans, moving them around the country so their families, friends and lawyers can't find them, and sending into a death camp that's not under control of US law, without due process and no possibility of return.
