    The only state with concentration camps in the real world is the USA and its colony in Palestine.

      USA is absolutely a huge hypocrite. But that doesn’t mean other countries are justified for doing the same

      So, I follow the Texas Tribune, and we get a story or two every week about heat waves in Texas prisons killing another dozen people while the state legislature refuses to fund air condition to get temperatures under 90 degrees inside cells. We also get the periodic story about migrant detention camps on the border with agents caught doing human trafficking, physical and sexual abuse up to and including outright torture, and the horrific death of small children. Finally, there’s the annual tradition of investigating Texas CPS or Texas Juvenile detention officials for a new raft of allegations involving agents trading nude pictures of children for narcotics or cash.

      Every day a new horror in the Lone Star State, and we just kinda shrug and insist this is how a liberal democracy with a well-educated electorate and professional political institutions are supposed to behave.

      Meanwhile, when Keonmi Park does another interview with Joe Rogan, we just eat that shit up with a spoon.

      Western Internet Culture is a real mindfuck.
