Your stance of what a concentration camp is and who you would place in them is just honesty confusing to me.Yes, absolutely what you described in the previous post (an occupation of Afghanistan lasting, what, fifty years? a hundred?) would be "taking up the white man's burden." Your framing it as "taking responsibility for clearing up a mess we made" has not only been done before by fans of the white man's burden, it is also a convenient way to sidestep the problem that the "mess" you mention was caused by the US invasion and could never have been solved by US military action.
Hilariously, google dictionary even lists "burden" as a "similar" world to "responsibility," lmao. Not euphemistic enough!
Actually, it's pretty clear that authoritarian extremists mostly prefer to purposely expose people to diseases: both Stalin and the Nazis killed many thousands of people by putting them in camps where preventable diseases ran rampant, and as noted previously in this thread the Nazis loosened vaccine mandates when they came to power in Germany.
The governor of your state is currently treating the people of your state a bit like concentration camp inmates, taking just about every possible measure to ensure they are infected with a deadly virus. The party you prefer and vote for has already shown its authoritarian colors, attempting to overturn the 2020 election and taking steps to ensure future elections are rigged/meaningless (just look at the electoral map of Texas they've drawn).
But, yes, quite clearly, I'm the authoritarian extremist because I actually want to stop people from dying of covid.
It's not a joke - if you want to hear a joke, imagine someone taking r16's lizard bit seriously and writing several paragraphs explaining that lizards don't actually control the world.
and are you saying that Desantis is preventing people from getting vaccinated?
