Can war be treated like an infectious disease? This expert thinks so Epidemiologist and violence disruptor Gary Slutkin says perpetual cycles of violence are not inevitable.

Violence is a disease by dictionary definition and criteria. Violence in later forms loses most brain empathy connections and can proceed to instiable cruelty and destruction. We are seeing all of this now to scale

This is a disorder. It works alongside and accelerates the syndrome of Authoritarian Violence Disorder. It's based on the susceptibility of a personality type prone to heirarchy and following.

It is critical to isolate and contain sources of epidemic spread of any disease.

Authoritarianism is a disease. Of contagious violence. It needs to be interrupted and contained. For public health and safety. As for other diseases.

The Soviet gulag is one important comparison. I also keep thinking of the classic question of World War II history: "Did people know?" Did Germans know about concentration camps? Did people living next to the camps and death facilities know? How could they go about their lives if they knew?
We know.

What I Saw at a Maternity Ward in Kenya After the U.S. Cut Off Food and Foreign Aid Photographs tell a story of two mothers determined to help their babies gain enough weight to leave the hospital — only to face little to no food again.

“Good afternoon. My name is [redacted] and my wife and I have been at OMDC since April 15 2025,” reads a handwritten note, wrapped around a lotion bottle that was thrown by a man held captive inside the Otay Mesa Detention Center (OMDC) on Sunday. “It’s cold here all the time and the food is poor,” the missive continues. “For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh. We are all in one big room with no doors or windows. We can’t see any grass or trees. We are all constantly sick.”

Two tuberculosis cases detected at Camp East Montana ICE facility Eighteen cases of COVID-19 were also identified. U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar on Friday visited the 5,000-bed tent facility on the Fort Bliss Army base and said she saw many "chronic issues."

One way concentration camps become zones where law doesn't apply is by neglecting policies & standards that would protect health & provide healthcare. You deny laws & norms & dehumanize your victim.

Well done reporting. The cruelty has a basis in the nature of contagious violence in this phase of group copying, "belonging", obedience and a group "high". It can be a forerunner to genocide.

The park (ocean and dunes and walkways) is there anyway. No matter highway open or closed. The "park" is a con for noise and development.
