By all criteria, this a concentration camp. Not “concentration camp” as rhetorical inflation, or emotionally manipulative shorthand, or edgy metaphor—but as in: literally.

As in: detention without trial, state control, inhumane living conditions, forced labor, dehumanization, brutal violence, isolation from accountability, psychological torture, and—by every available logical extension—murder.

That last one we can’t yet verify in the strict evidentiary sense, but the circumstances suggest it like smoke suggests fire, and they are already trying to hide their actions and deny what is occurring.

    One thing I noted is that the majority of the people that got deported had tattoos.

    Are they intentionally seeking people like that?

      Or more interestingly evil…could they be given tattoos forcible to make them look like that?

          It doesn’t have to be real tattoos or even really on them if they can Photoshop them in.

          But shaved heads for sure and you can see many of them have a 5 o-clock head shadow, meaning that they don’t shave often in real life.
