    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.
