    Note that this guy is a white European. White Americans, they’re coming for you sooner than later. I hope you’re clear on that.

    To everyone outside that shithole of a country: for the love of fuck stop visiting the US unless you have a reason. Its clear border security can do whatever the fuck they want with impunity. It isnt worth the risk. Let the country rot and leave them.

    Senior described Schmidt being “violently interrogated” at Logan Airport for hours, and being stripped naked, put in a cold shower by two officials, and being put back onto a chair.

    She said Schmidt told her immigration agents pressured him to give up his green card. She said he was placed on a mat in a bright room with other people at the airport, with little food or water, suffered sleep deprivation, and was denied access to his medication for anxiety and depression

    Oh, hell no. They tortured this guy. What. The. Fuck.

    All right out of Stalin’s playbook. First you arrest them, then you hold them indefinitely in jail without contact with the outside world. During this time you torture them until they confess to whatever made-up “crime” you accuse them of, and preferably falsely rat out others who the torturers want to give the same treatment to. Then you sentence them to decades of “hard labor” in a remote camp, and to more torture. Sentencing done by a non-judicial, non-accountable administrative tribunal whose primary job is producing “guilty” verdicts in order to meet their quotas.

    Apply this method to the weakest first, and then to the working classes (including veterans) and then to the middle- and upper-classes (administrators and engineers and military leaders and especially “intellectuals”), rinse and repeat, until you’ve got yourself a society composed of individuals who live in utter terror of Uncle Elon and Tusk, and of being arrested themselves. Members of that society will never step out of line, will never be a threat to the regime.

    Here’s a first-hand description of how it works : https://archive.org/details/TheGulagArchipelago-Threevolumes/The-Gulag-Archipelago__vol1__I-II__Solzhenitsyn/

      That playbook is literally how the US justice system has worked since pretty much the beginning. Our constitution explicitly enshrines the right to keep slaves.

      And calling the Gulag Archipeligo a “first hand account” is laughable. That book is basically folklore and rumors.
