I considered getting it officially confirmed for both, then RFK made his concentration camp comment.
100% same!
And also after Trump just the other day decided to unban insane asylums.
If it wasn’t the fascists doing it I would have welcomed having more mental healthcare facilities. But these are probably gonna be 1920s style hell holes instead.
100 years later - "oops we found a mass grave in the basement"
"How could this have happened without anyone knowing about it?"
Narrator: "Literally everyone knew about it."
definately. the idea is poor to homeless to prisons/asylums and for the prisons/asylums to be profitable so just enough to keep you alive to keep up the payments from the state but no more than that.
Yes, but I used the term "insane asylum" specifically due to its history in the US. Trump spent a lot of his campaign ranting about "Hannibal Lector" after all.
I look at it like alcoholism. I have been functional in my life so im fine where I am at (to some degree but that is more about US societal issues around a functioning society).
