Kevin O’Leary is a Canadian. Can we put him in a concentration camp?
O’Leary: You want China instead? You want concentration camps? Let me take you over there.
McGowan: Let me take you to West Virginia where we’re building them now.
(Also, that chyron gives me the heebie-jeebies.)
What ICE is doing is not comparable to the Holocaust. The Holocaust is not just a cudgel for you to use against your political opponents.
Oh look a Coyne bot in aisle 1
Looks like Obama is sipping the anti-woke Kool-Aid.
O’Leary probably has dealings with Chinese/Chinese owned factories, because it’s hard not to in the 21st Century if you have a lot of different products.
We\re lucky up here that O’Leary dropped out of the Conservative leadership race a few years back because it was effectively too much work for him.
No one mentioned the Holocaust until you did. The US had concentration camps in the 19th century.
In 2019 O’Leary ran down and killed two people with his yacht, but he claimed his wife was driving and she and him got off.
The British invented concentration camps (including the term) in the Anglo-Boer war in South Africa (1899-1902).
The large centres ICE is building are literally that: camps in which to concentrate the population of people considered undesirable.
The USA had concentration camps in the 1940s for US born Japanese citizens.
One of my friend’s parents met there and eventually got married.
George Takei, Mr. Sulu of Star Trek spent his childhood there.
It was not one of the USA’s best moves.
Whenever you are ethnic cleansing, genociding, or persecuting a large group of people, you end up with concentration camps.
O’Leary isn’t the only Canadian fascist in the USA.
The Proud Boys started in Canada and the former head of them is a Canadian.
The most notorious is the crackpot and malevolent all around hater, Jordan Peterson.
Jordan Peterson and his daughter both now live in Arizona.
He has money from somewhere even after spending a lot on his health problems.
Peterson is still an active hater, running a fake online school teaching mindless right wingnut lies and propaganda.
If anyone should be deported as an undesirable alien, it should be Peterson and his daughter.
We don’t need Canadian fascists. We already have too many of our own.
The driveby troll and coward is back to repeat his lies.
ICE is doing exactly what the Nazis were doing.
The Holocaust didn’t just happen. It progressed over many years. First were propaganda and lies designed to raise awareness and direct hate towards minorities. Then vandalism against property. Passing laws against groups of people. Rounding them up. The end result after 9 years was the start of the Holocaust.
The Nazis took power in 1933. The Wannsee conference, where it was implemented was in 1942.
ICE just started their terrorism campaign a year ago when Trump was elected.
Genocides take time.
If you could think, you would realize that rounding up and murdering millions of people takes a lot of time. Especially in what was once a democracy. Go too fast and the majority of the people wake up and say, “no”.
We are waking up and saying “no”.
You and your fascist buddies are cheering them on.
