    Plot twist: draft dodgers will be sent to El Salvador and lose their US citizenship. SCOTUS will OK this b/c if you’re unwilling to “defend” the US, you don’t deserve citizenship.

          I mean I’m past draft age, I have bipolar, I’m a drug addict in recovery, and I’m on a handful of government watch lists, it’s easy for me to make these jokes because there’s no fucking way I’m getting drafted

          No one wants to, but if it’s that or kill other innocent people…

          I won’t claim that I’d make the same decision after a couple of years in the torture prison, but from the untortured side of things, my choice is clear.

            You actually get fewer rights in that prison compared to even gitmo, because in gitmo some prisoners even got to have a trial eventually.

            There’s no active torture though, just inhumane conditions and sharing your cell with 40 other people. And the official policy that once you’re in, you’ll never get out - though I think they’ll let out American prisoners when the US demands it. Locals just go in without a trial and never get out.

              There’s absolutely actively torture, I’m sorry to tell you. Even if there’s nothing worse than what we already know about (unlikely, given that we know about worse from the camps in the US), we know that prisoners are beaten and sexually abused.
