I’ve been thinking about this “Alligator Alcatraz” concentration camp down in Florida. As a student of the Concentration Camps of WWII, I wrote an entire graduate thesis on the psychology of those working there, I see many parallels to Nazi Germany in the early 1930’s. 1/3

@GirlScout27 @fesshole I guess your hobbies are crochet and scrapbooking? That's incredibly stereotyped.

[Simon Bunker @simonabunker]
