Insomnia asks: When Americans (full citizens too) get sent to gitmo concentration camp, how can they best survive?
Cannot rely on legal council, medical attention (facilities for numbers being discussed simply don’t exist there), press coverage or other communications to tell anyone you’re there. 🧵

Things that might be in one’s control are what you know, and anything unremovable from you. By this I mean: if everything were taken from you, you were stripped naked, and then crammed into concentrated quarters with others, kept their by violent armed guards and dogs, what if anything could help? 🧵

My best ideas so far are try to have your vaccinations up to date now, in advance of such an ordeal. In addition to the base ones to prevent what normally an American might encounter, the CDC mentions rabies (the dogs), and typhoid for Cuba. Insurance may not cover these so many many take out of 🧵

@davidaugust.bsky.social I don’t think there’s vaccination against torture, violence, malnourishment, and lack of sanitation.
Once the nazis have deported tou into such a camp, survival is a roll of the dice with low odds. I’m inclined to think all seemingly helpful suggestions otherwise boil down to victim blaming.

@js @davidaugust.bsky.social this isn’t about blame. This is about doing whatever one can, no matter how small the impact, to try to survive.
