It's why we talk about them as concentration camps.
Somebody thought about how to make this experience more miserable, to children. Somebody optimized.
Local actors extrapolate. "Well, clearly we're not supposed to be nice to these kids. We'd have resources if we were."

"Nobody could have foreseen"
Bullshit. We know exactly where this is now, and exactly where this is going, and that's why we're calling them concentration camps.
If someone did this to your kids, you'd lose it. You'd be right to.
Stop kidnapping kids. We can't handle 'em.

It's true that people have been crying wolf about Nazis.
Does not mean there aren't wolves.
Doesn't mean people were born wolves. We've got a wolf breeding ground, here. We've got a Nazi factory, here.

It seems Roberts ruled, that we can't just lean on the Federal Judiciary to be the sole fountain of non-shittiness in our political culture.
He may actually be right.
It is also the case that complex systems reach a point where no actor can fix them, even with good tools.

I may be shouting into the wind here, but I'm also pretty worried.
"Can't somebody else fix it", said by everybody, has allowed actual real world children to be caged, unprofessionally, by actual real world Americans.
I watch people straining to accept this, trying to be loyal.

Changes my opinion of what is possible.
It certainly can happen here.
