   I've heard there's a particular yellow sponge character that might live in the environment you mention.

   Addendum: I just want to add that I think I can confidently say that I agree with the severity of the issue.
   
   The fact that some were drawing direct comparisons to 1940 Germany and calling the detention centers concentration camps (and also, btw, doubling down any time someone pointed out that the analogy may not be completely apt), all kinda put me off.
   
   But I was willing to explore and seek out other perspectives.
   
   I'm sure NiS was probably one of the least ideal places to do this, but I'm glad I did because §m£ÂgØL I respect your opinion quite a lot.
   
   The sad state of affairs is that meme politics has almost entirely superceded legitimate political discourse these days.
   
   I still remain mostly nonpartisan, but damn if I won't say something if human beings are being detained in deplorable positions, especially when others are like "lol y they not just go home?"
   
   I swear to God, if they aren't native/aboriginal, they need to shut the fuck up.

   Locking illegal immigrants up is just.
   
   Deporting illegal immigrants is just.
   
   Keeping them in overcrowded quarters where they have to share beds is not just.
   
   Sending children to court without their parents or a lawyer is not just.
   
   Keeping them without showers is not just.
   
   Denying them a quick trial is not just.

   
   There was a lot in your post, and I only truncated here to be pragmatic in reply...
   
   But yeah, I'm pretty much on board with just about everything you say.
   
   Heck, I'll even go so far as to posit that the so-called "illegal" immigrants might deserve equal treatment to the legal immigrants...
   
   How do they even distinguish anyway?
   
   The underlying fact is that, as cliche as it sounds, both countries (Canada and the USA) were truly founded by immigrants.
   
   If we factor race, religion, etc out of the equation (which we really should do - Islamic extremism might muddy the waters, but let's put that aside for a sec), then denying foreigners access to Canada and the US is basically like saying "na na na na na, we got here first, find your own second continent".
   
   AND, even on top of that, there is absolutely the ethical issue of treating humans badly simply because they aren't citizens.
   
   Like, if some intergalactic species started snatching humans up in droves as soon as we start exploring outer space, I'd be damn thankful if they at least have some kind of intergalactic ambassador that ensures we lowly earthlings are treated ethically and with some dignity.
   
   Like, there is A LOT to unpack from this whole debate.
   
   I just wanna know if it really has reached Hitler levels on other peoples' scales, and not just the "SJW" trigger happy brigade hyperbolizing everything.

   Like, I'm generally pretty apolitical, but I can't help but be at least a little jarred when I see multiple people calling Trump Hitler (and doubling down against any counter claims of hyperbole), and calling MAGA hat wearers literal Nazis (same parenthetical situation applies), and referring to ICE as literal concentration camps (like I said, not just hyperbolicly, but unironicly and consistently, even in mainstream subs).
   
   Like... What if this actually is history repeating itself.
   
   I don't even care if people want to start an ethnostate or any of that...
   
   I just don't want a gestapo (left or right) goosestepping through my town to take my shit and trynna lock me up.

   Someone even made the same comparison in either r/Israel or r/Judaism (I can't remember which).
   
   Obviously that stirred the pot a little bit.

   Basically, the entire thread is saying (and others too lately), that ICE are directly equivalent to the concentration camps in and around ~1940 Germany.
   
   And if anyone tries applying a little nuance toward their interpretation, they are downvotes out of the conversation and called literal Nazis, and told that Trump is literally Hitler in the early stages of his own third Reich...
   
   He's just ramping up.

    I found a two comment exchange that pretty succinctly sums up that page (first post: ~30 downvotes, the reply: ~20 upvotes).
    
    

    Comparing our detention centers to inadequate refugee camps, which is a common theme throughout history, would be fair.
    
    Comparing them to nazi concentration camps is just plain fucking stupid.

    
    

    The Nazis didn't have extermination camps until they'd been in power for 8 years.

    Is all politics just meme and irony these days?

    What kind of subs do you look at

    
    I've seen it in more than one thread on there, but just like an hour ago there was a thread in ALL that took the same turn (I mean, to the point that anyone questioning the claim is downvoted like crazy):

    Originally posted by Ghost People think the gang life in Canada is a big joke I just tell them to look up the Surrey Six.

    
    One dude from my high school was actually one of the six... He legit wasn't even a gangster or anything, just a standersby.
    
    In fact, there was also a fire place repair dude that was just doing maintenance and got capped as well.
    
    Fucking tragic shit.

    Where the fuck is someone gonna swim in Langley?
    
    Find me one beach or lake...
    
    We might have a swimming hole or two along the Fraser River, but you literally get AIDS and cancer and Surrey disease if you try that shit.

    And Asians in Richmond... True as well.
    
    "Woke and empowered" sluts in Vancouver. Checks out. (Also a literal gay male district and gay female district - seperate from each other... And other especially progressive neighbourhoods like vegan as fuck, stoner as fuck, etc).
    
    Langley == cowboys/cowgirls. Also accurate, to a certain degree at least.

    Also, LMA fucking O at how accurate it us...
    
    Whalley folks (me included) are Canada's scum. If you don't have a drug addiction and/or criminal record by 18, you dun fucked up somewhere, or you move out and never look back.
    
    The rest of Surrey... Literally India. Like, I'm staying at my mom's right now in Surrey... it's absolutely rare as fuck to see a white person. I don't even dislike Indian folk, but it is a bit unsettling to never see other people of your own race.
    
    White Rock is a tiny piece of land about two blocks wide and two blocks long... They are rich as fuck. But so are Fraser Heights and other smaller neighborhoods in town.
    
    If you wanna level up, though, you migrate to Vancouver.
