"There's no reason to build this in Guantánamo unless you want to do things you don't think you could get away with on the U.S. mainland. It's easy to put tents in Florida. But they're putting them in Cuba. Ask yourself why."

    I don’t think it will be Auschwitz. Not yet.

    Auschwitz didn’t happen overnight, those things develops over time as the barbarism of fascism accelerates.

    It will be another step on the road to American Auschwitz though. Like current US prisons and concentration camps but worse and more lawless.

    When we eventually learn of the crimes committed there the reaction will be like that to Abu Ghraib, widespread liberal horror and maybe the ritual sacrifice of a low-level scapegoat or two but no fundamental reckoning with the west’s dark rotting core of white supremacy.
