Predictably, the agency shared drone footage of the raid with Fox News.

      Kinda flippant way to say they will get put in a US concentration camp.

      I know nazism is the norm in the US now, but for most of the world, it’s still considered ghoulish.

        The flippant comment is my way to use cynicism to express how utterly appalled I am by what’s going on in the US.

          If you haven’t seen the drone footage yet, I recommend it. Unfortunately, it seems that it’s only on Fox, and I won’t utter their links here. The video illustrates the situation of the country really well. It also reminds me that this unusual situation didn’t just drop out of the blue. It’s been building for decades. Also, many news outlets seem to be still keeping the “both sides” perspective on these outrageous acts, as the Overton Window keeps moving right using neutral language for bizarre power grabs.

            Agreed. I can only imagine what their personal conversations are like.

            Serj: Okay, this one’s going to be about the prison industrial complex.

            John: Yeah! More prisons! More prisons!

            Serj: Dude, no. Here, take these. Why don’t you go color something pretty while the adults talk.

            John: [crayon munching noises]
