      Yep, wouldn’t be surprised there’s some abuse happening in those detention centres.

      Untreated AIDS is probably cheaper than Zyklon B or whatever the fuck they are going to do to them.

      Gotta keep the glass half full. Remember, the guards that rape the inmates might get it too.

        HIV kills very slowly. If you’re planning to run an extermination camp that way, you might need to keep the people there for at least 10 years.

        WW2 atrocities have taught us that cold, hunger and back breaking work gets the job done as well. Execution by shooting wasn’t a long term solution, so nazis resorted to committing genocide with chemicals instead. That was a bit of an exception when you look at other authoritarian regimes. We’ll see how far Trump is willing to take it.

      it takes years for it to become aids, depends on which type hiv1 is more lethal than hiv 2. hiv1 is fully adapted to humans while hiv2 is recent jump from a primate.

    One, I don’t think RFK believes in HIV. He doesn’t believe in germ theory. (Ars is kind of a bootlicker site, but their news is pretty good)

    Two, everyone who works at ICE should be shot dead. If we have a future, people are going to look back at us with scorn. “You knew about the horrors that lead up to ww2, and you just sat back and let it happen again?” Basically yeah, we’re all scared and disorganized, and about a third of our country are rabid fascists who want this to happen.

        I don’t know the answer to your question, and would also like to know, but the implication that a tech site cannot lick authoritarian boots is reading something absurd to me.
