Concentration camps for the homeless.
Literally what liberals want, they just always pussyfoot around it. “Something needs to be done” etc
It’s gonna be real fucked up when this shit polls well with suburban boomers and Biden adds basically the same policy to his platform
Liberals are going to convince themselves that this is the compassionate and humane thing to do (“Why do you oppose the temporary overflow facilities for people experiencing houselessness? Do you want these poor people to sleep in the streets?”). The final holdouts will be convinced by a couple of interviews with sympathetic looking white women who talks about how they are grateful to get a new start through the programme.
This will be the “reasonable, centrist bipartisan policy” in like ~20 years.
They are already doing that in a lot of liberal cities and suburbs, but without the final step. Being homeless is hard and practically illegal, but there are no camps yet.
I vaguely remember seeing videos of “designated camping spots” in some west coast city. I imagine the liberal approach to homeless concentration camps will be more of an indirect approach than literally rounding homeless people. They’ll increase policing against homeless people in all areas except these designated “camping” spots until it gets so violent that houseless people have no choice but to self-admit themselves there, and then they’ll police the borders of these camps as if they were prison camps. And liberals will hail this as the humane solution because “they chose to be there” as if our violent society hasn’t left these people any other choice.
Just in time for the Bell riots
The Bell Riots are a prophecy.
i hope the prophecy is a bit versatile this time around because the original creed relies on people being empathetic on the internet
Did you know in NuTrek that BLM and Trump supporters trigger/are part of a second American civil war that leads into WW3?
Bell riots, second civil war, WW3, eugenics war. The lore for that time period in Trek is a mess. They’re all smooshed together and so vaguely defined.
Stop trying to keep the timeline contemporary Rick Berman you fuck.
This is one of those rare things you can quite blame Berman for. It’s mostly due to most of that stuff being g made up in the 60s
at least the various fictional governments involved would provide the people in the Sanctuary Districts with food and water rations, physical buildings to live in, and make an effort to keep legitimately
You’re just describing prisons.
That’s what the Sanctuary Districts ultimately became. Chunks of the city that had fallen into slum conditions were simply nationalized and repurposed as prison grounds for the unemployed.
Their plans seem to be to force homeless people to simply die of exposure out of eyeshot of wealthy people.
A lot of the plan involves scoping up homeless people and shoveling them into post-COVID jail vacancies. But even then, we’re running into the UK dilemma of not wanting to actually spend more money on jails. So what we end up with is much more akin to shoddily built and staffed concentration camps, where people just languish until they’re released or they expire.
We might be moving in the Sanctuary City direction if housing prices every collapsed. But right now, real estate is just too valuable to be wasted on new jails.
Imagine a nation that could plan more than a single fiscal quarter ahead.
Imagine what they could build. Entire cities probably. And the lesser nations would have to cope and seethe, creating slanderous terms like “ghost cities” in response.
USA greatest ever.
So uh instead of tent cities what if we just building house for them
