Chris Hedges: American Concentration Camps | Reupload

Jun 11, 2025 | Once a regime starts to send people to concentration camps — including those in El Salvador — it creates a system of detention that eschews due process and disappears citizens into black holes.


This is the cruel sh** that my fellow countrymen voted in favour of Brexit for, is it? Is this why crazy people like Nigel Fags are determined to emulate the American way of life? Is this why they were so determined to leave our European brethren and European civilisation and culture for us to be able to copy the ‘perceived superiority’ of the American ways of the Trump regime? One can but shake one’s head in disgust, shake one’s head at the stupidity and naïveté of the people who voted to leave a far superior way of life and far superior political club to become more Americanized. We Brits have relinquished the opportunity of a lifetime to be guided by these half-wild halfwits across the Pond. For shame on us all for letting this happen! — © Mark Alexander
