Not Just Fascism. Forced Labor for Profit.

Monday, El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele visited the White House, where he and POTUS chummed it up. Bukele declined to return a Maryland-born deportee and then the two men bonded over DEI, trans people, and the idea of sending U.S. citizens to El Salvador’s mega-prison—CECOT—on purpose.
But guys - those prisons are packed with tens of thousands of human beings—without due process—working under forced labor conditions. Products are being exported. This isn’t just about control.
It’s about capital.
What if disappearing "illegals" or "violents" (or dissidents) is also about monetizing them?
It dawns on me this isn’t just law and order theater. It’s the potential birth of a new economy—one where human suffering is outsourced, repackaged, and sold.
Forced labor for profit.
Slavery.
What if fascism isn’t the endgame but the business model.
Please sit with this: they’re capable of it—because they’ve disrespected humanity before. History gives the inspiration. AI (which I love and use often) provides the blueprint. The Übermenschen rise .
