What a load of fucking garbage. Do the Dems think this is going to help them?
-
So you’re too big a coward to come out and say it but you clearly agree with her.
Could the Japanese Americans in the “concentration camps” Takei refers to leave at any time simply deciding to return home?
-
Tear down the FDR statues
-
Takei wasn’t in a concentration camp. JFC. The democrat hero FDR had him in an internment camp. He needs to learn the difference.allpurpleallgold said:SFGbob said:APAG do you agree with her?

APAG agrees with everything she has ever said. -
Call them whatever you want. They aren't being gassed or forced to perform slave labor like they would in many other countries in the world, including their own, if you buy their bullshit asylum claims.allpurpleallgold said:SFGbob said:APAG do you agree with her?

Yes, and it will probably energize the Hispanic vote quite a bit. They've also decided they don't want to win the old union whites they used to be able to court so well. Bold strategy.Pitchfork51 said:What a load of fucking garbage. Do the Dems think this is going to help them?

The Japanese murdered our soldiers in WWII. Fuck them.

It's expert Hyperbole ya see.PurpleThrobber said:No, AOC. It is hyperbole.

Wake up sheeple!

Let's just lay this out there for those of us who are a little slow on the uptake.
The use of the term "concentration camp" took on a whole new meaning after WWII, and it no longer means what the literal words mean any moar. It means a horrific place that, upon liberating them, shook the souls of hardened military officers who'd spent the previous few years up to their elbows in guts and body parts fighting a war. Incidents of inhuman behavior so depraved that our military made local towns folk walk in and see it up close and participate in the grave digging as punishment for having stood by and say they didn't know.
I have no idea what the conditions are like. None. Likely nobody here does either. They could well be brutal and shitty and shameful. IDFK.
What I do know, w/o even lifting a finger to research it, is that they are not fucking concentration camps, and if I were a Jew I'd be really fucking offended that she has chosen to use that term.
It's not hyperbole; it's fucking insensitive. -
Also if you use the term "concentration camps" in connection with the words "Never Again" you're definitely referring the Jewish Holocaust at the hands of the Nazis. Any one defending this dolt deserves whatever grief comes their way.

JFC. You have a particular talent for taking a fair point and fucking it up into your obvious xenophobia. Good job. Good effert.Sledog said:The Japanese murdered our soldiers in WWII. Fuck them.

I think what's happening at the border is wrong and we can do a lot better but AOC is so far gone she has me defending the border situation.
She's clearly taken a page out of Trump's book. Honesty and integrity clearly have no place in our political culture.
Sad. -
Trump showed the template for achieving the worst of us. AOC's metoiric rise is further proof that a dogmatic devotion to a firm ideology and a charismatic individual is the winning political strategy. She has no business being in the position she's in, yet she's the rallying cry for an entire generation. Why is politics the one industry where a resume means so fucking little?dnc said:I think what's happening at the border is wrong and we can do a lot better but AOC is so far gone she has me defending the border situation.

There’s a coordinated effort going on to collapse our Southern Border and Dems support it because they think they can ally themselves with immigrants for votes. There is nothing humanitarian about using others as pawns and every country has a right to have secure borders and an orderly immigration system that doesn’t overwhelm it’s resources and ability to integrate people into its society. -
I see what you’re saying here but the issue is it’s not that the term “concentration camps” took on a whole new meaning, it’s that you think it did. And to be fair, there are plenty of people that agree with you. But there are also plenty of people that do not.creepycoug said:Let's just lay this out there for those of us who are a little slow on the uptake.

Look at the tweet again, it’s a link to a story of a Jewish journalist calling them concentration camps.
I’m sure they all feel blessed to have you be offended for them. I’m also sure you can find offended Jews. Would you like to be bet on who has the majority opinion amongst them? Because without even lifting a finger to research it, I know the majority will come down on AOCs side.
Generally, this would be a bullshit argument but you’re the one that made it about feelings, insensitivity and being Jewish. -

The only people being dishonest are the ones saying those two definitions are the same. -
When she used the term "concentration camps" in connection with the phrase "never again" she was comparing what we are doing to the Nazis. There comes a time when you just have to stop the kneepadding defense.allpurpleallgold said:

You have to be a real fucking dipshit if you can't figure out that concentration camps in modern day speak means Holocaust death camps.
And that's exactly what they are trying to equate this to.
