    Unfortunately I agree. It’s really scary. I hope at some point extremists appealing to the very ugliest of human emotions will loose traction in our political life.

    You are much slower than I thought. What about the term illegal alien do you not grasp. These "things" are entering our country illegally with no checks and balances. Our biggest problem in this country is ignorance like you have displayed.

    Dehumanization is the 4th stage of genocide

    Maybe I missed something. Are you talking illegal immigrants or the refugees--many of them children-- thrown into the overcrowded facilities pending determination of their asylum claims?

    Welcome to the machine folks. We're all just cogs in the great insanity that is humanity. Genocide? Ba! Sexism? Yeah right! Elitism? Oh come the fuck on! We're tools man. Slaves! Slaves whose only task it is to lubricate the parts to keep this ass fucked society chuggin' along.

    What will be the end of us? Earthquakes, volcanoes, asteroids, black holes, super novae, planet wide war? No......you want the end. Look around! Open your damn eyes.....it's already came and fuckin' went......Apathy don't need to knock we already answered.

    Just another brick in the wall....
    But hey man, at least you'll die "happy"

    Ok, I will talk about the illegals/refugees then from Latin America.

    What is the rest of the world doing about it then? Why is is seemingly wholey a US problem? The Donalds problem?

    Whats the EU doing about it? Diddy squat as usual

    Russia has been meddling with Venezula, I havent really read up on how, I would bother, but Yes i think most in this thread just want to take a swing at Trump no matter what anyway and dont care about latinos in cages

    And I will bitch about China again. I dont see anyone attacking the Chinese President over inaction on this. The second biggest superpower on the world, with no immigration policy, doing stuff all, but lets all attack Trump.

    I'd put money on, without bothering to check, that even Australia is letting in more latin americans than China is

    There's so much going on.
    I think most people adopt the idea that they should focus on their own government's wrongs, because they are the voters who are entitled to demand that their government listen.

    Looking at this thread, it really doesn't look to me like people just looking for an excuse to attack Trump. Trump wasn't even mentioned until you said his name.

    When the thread gets to 20 pages I will go through and count how many times Trump/Pence/MAGA is mentioned ,)

    Will also count the number of times the situation is ridiculously compared to Nazi Germany

    Well the biggest difference is the German citizens didn't know much while the MAGA citizens apparently do.

    Holocaust Survivor: Yes, the Border Detention Centers Are Like Concentration Camps

    For the past two weeks, Americans have debated whether the notoriously cramped and dirty detention centers on the southern border can be called “concentration camps.” For at least one Holocaust survivor, the answer is a resounding yes.

    Ruth Bloch was 17 years old when she was separated from her family. While living in Holland in 1942, her father, mother, and brother were arrested and sent to concentration camps, where they were eventually killed. Bloch remained in Holland working as a seamstress at a fur factory, sewing fur-lined coats for German troops. She was eventually sent to Vught concentration camp in Holland in 1943, before being eventually transported to Auschwitz.

    Are a lot of central Americans trying to seek asylum in China then?
    Derp.

    This is a problem created by 30 years of US foreign policy and it is a problem the US is going to have to deal with.
    And the simple truth of the matter is that asylum seekers and their children are being detained in inhumane conditions specifically because of policy put in place by the Trump administration. You cant separate Trump from this. It is the Donald's problem because he created the situation.
    And before someone is in with "BuT oBuMmEr..." - yes, the media should have reported more on this during the Obama era but no, it wasnt really the same. Previous administrations focused on detaining people with a criminal background and only detained unaccompanied minors who had no adults to care for them in the US. The Trump administration detains all legal asylum seekers and separates all families as policy.

    And as far as the comparisons to Nazi Germany. Genocide doesnt happen overnight. It happens in stages. It takes a while to dehumanize people to the point where everyone else will just accept it.
    We learn about the Holocaust and other genocides so we can recognize the warning signs.

    The Venezuelan Exodus

    On the Venezualan exodus, US is doing more than its fair share, Canada, Spanish/Portuguese speaking southern europe. It doesnt say there, but it said on the news last night Australia us taking in an extra 30,000 above quota

    Why cant China do something?, you dont have to be geographically a neighbour to help with refugees

    Can someone please post a video of "concentration camp" like detention centres as the one in this video looks very clean and tidy

    Or are you all just sheeple regurgitating what the lefty media tells you too and have never actually ever seen what these centres look like?

    I saw some pictures of people in much more dire straights than what is implied by your photo. Like 50 people in a small holding cell with their palms on the glass waiting to be housed presumably. That's unacceptable, wouldn't you say? Here is a picture of overcrowding. It really isn't hard for me to imagine them there, wondering what's next...

    ^ Not acceptable!

    When you see numbers like 4,000,000 it can make you wonder wtf is going on in Venezuela. It would seem they need some new leadership or perhaps a hand up from countries in terms of better security/corruption detail.
