Here's the slavery speed run:

Step 1 - Mass layoffs + Tariffs lead to mass homelessness. Step 2 - Criminalize homelessness. Step 3 - Arrest/institutionalize the homeless in for profit prisons. Lend inmates to private corporations for forced labor. Step 4 - Profit.

Need to start handing out knives and 3d printed zip guns to the homeless so they can defend themselves from Trump’s gestapo.

But not its root causes

Ohhh so close. It’s the thing John Oliver can’t say but gets a little closer to saying each night.

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah, they will never address the root causes of homelessness. The homeless are used as boogeymen for the lower and middle class working plebs.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

Also, why focus on preventing homelessness by, you know, making housing affordable when instead you can just lock them all up or better yet, kill them all? Don't tell me that this isn't a wet dream fantasy for most gop politicians

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

humane treatment

Is that what we call el Salvadorian torture prisons now?

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hey, I've seen this one before.

Hitler said the EXACT same thing! But they lied!?! They didn't go to institutions to help rehabilitate them, they killed them in death camps!

I'm so surprised Trump would do the exact same thing! (/s).

The new iPhone factories in America will have the phrase "Arbeit macht frei" written in iron at the entrance.

What's the worst that could happen?

what's the worst that could happen?

Gangs of murderous armed thugs roam our streets randomly abusing people

Except they arent all fascist racist shit heels, can maybe be talked to, don't take up half of every municipal budget, dont traffic people, dont smuggle in drugs of abuse, and actually live in the community so won't fuck shit up for no reason.

[–] Glitterbomb@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Where did the opioid crisis come from? Who caused it?

[–] salacious_coaster@infosec.pub 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Not all of us. A lot of us will just be dead.

[–] thezeesystem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Like me! I'm trans and disabled. I don't think I'll last past stage 2.

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

L of the LGBT here. I am also scared. Also, BP but stable with meds.

[–] seralth@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

They appear to be working backwards so you have 3 letters to figure out an escape plan before it's too late.

Padme: So the solution is a huge investment in public housing or state subsidised housing, right?
Anakin: ...

"Are there no prisons?" asked Scrooge.
(...)
"And the Union workhouses?" demanded Scrooge. "Are they still in operation?"
(...)
"The Treadmill and the Poor Law are in full vigour, then?"

Just a reminder this was the most heartless, most horrible man that could be imagined by a truly great author.

[–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

He did also follow that up with:

Scrooge: "I help to support the establishments I have mentioned--they cost enough; and those who are badly off must go there."

The gentleman: "Many can't go there; and many would rather die."

"If they would rather die," said Scrooge, "they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population."

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 1 points 10 months ago

And as it turns out the "surplus population" isn't really their concern, they just don't want to acknowledge the poor, sick, and otherwise different.

[–] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They really want to turn the USA into the United Prison Systems of America.

[–] SailorMoss@sh.itjust.works 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

We have the largest prison system in the world per capita four times over. You can thank senator Joe Biden for that. We’re already the United prison systems of America.

[–] klugerama@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

The prison industrial complex was the status quo long before Biden was even born. Why limit it to him? Blame Nixon and Reagan for both the drug epidemic and the criminalization of drug possession (accounting for something like 40% of the current prison population), and the near collapse of mental health and rehabilitation programs. Blame Clinton for enabling the corporations to grow even richer off of slave labor.

[–] Kyle_The_G@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

this isn't a shitpost... I agree its insane but not a shitpost.

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

I bet tons of Trumpers would tell me I'm full of shit and stuff like that will never happen, fake news; so I guess it would be a shit post for them.
