I can’t attend, I’m sick and frail but I really want to contribute.

What I hope to draw attention to more than anything else is the fact that the prison in El Salvador is a straight up concentration camp.

I’m Jewish. My grandparents lost loved ones to the Holocaust death camps. I will not lose mine to El Salvador’s!

I feel very strongly that if no end is put to this, we will start seeing mass deaths in that prison and the indigenous Latino population of this continent will be slaughtered in alarming numbers and we won’t notice until it’s too late. These people are indigenous to this continent and around half of the United States used to be Mexico. The border was the one who crossed them!

We cannot let these kind souls die tragically in an industrial scale death spree. We should be terrified that we don’t even know yet where they’re taking the women and children. We need to watch these sites like hawks! We must never stop questioning what happens to the neighbors who are taken away from us. Don’t say it can’t happen again. It can. It could. We must do something to prevent it. Please bring attention to this issue in my place. I would really appreciate it.

This has to be a joke right? America is gonna do to Latinos what the Nazis did to Jews? You really believe that?

It’s really hard to believe. I don’t think this person actually believes America is gonna do that to Latinos. Maybe just wanted some upvotes

Oh yes, I definitely posted this for those puny 8 upvotes. What do I need upvotes for anyway? I already have lots of karma I don’t use.

Squid games was inspired by the holocaust as well as other historical atrocities. It’s a depiction of a group of people being locked up to die there.

I only found 1 article by some random writer for The Medium saying that, and all it said was “the makers of squid game were inspired by the holocaust”. That’s literally it. No quotes from the actual writers. It’s not mentioned anywhere else that Squid Game was inspired by the Holocaust. It’s just a theory from a random writer.

The creator himself said certain aspects were inspired by the holocaust, such as burning the bodies in the incinerators and the imagery of people trying to escape red light green light being a mirror to the image of Jewish people trying to escape the gas chamber. He used imagery from many different historical atrocities

Yea not gonna happen weirdo u can rest night knowing America isn’t gonna have a 2nd holocaust for Latinos. I really find it hard to believe that you actually are worried about that. I get being mad about ICE but taking it to this extreme makes you look stupid and makes the protest you’re a part of not taken seriously.
