Don’t call it ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’ Call it a concentration camp.
This facility’s purpose fits the classic model, and its existence points to serious dangers ahead for the country.
francesca fiorentini called it Alligator Auschwitz, which i like because it keeps the alliteration while conveying the concentration camp idea.
edit: i heard it from her first but many leftists seem to be calling it that; my bad.
Not bad
Those who deny life and liberty to others don't deserve it themselves. They should all keep their oath to the constitution or they should die fighting against it.

Trump Treblinka
Here are some scary facts about Treblinka: it was in operation for about 18 months, was staffed at any one time by about 25 German officers and soldiers and 100 civilian workers, executed people with the exhaust from a single salvaged Russian tank engine, and murdered about 900,000 people in total. People tend to assume that the Holocaust was a massive industrial-scale operation that used up a huge fraction of German resources, but in fact it was a remarkably low-cost operation for the most part. Even the transportation aspect largely made use of supply trains returning otherwise empty from the front. If Hitler had not been stopped militarily, Germany would have had no technical difficulty in carrying out his goal of literally exterminating the nearly 200 million people of the Soviet Union.

THEY'RE SELLING MERCHANDISE LIKE IT'S A GODDAMN AMUSEMENT PARK! HUMANITY HAS FAILED! WE ARE A FAILED SPECIES AND WILL PROBABLY GO EXTINCT FROM THE SELFISHNESS AND GREED OF A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE POPULATION
Some ≠ all.
I had to re-read the comment several times to try to figure out what you're attempting to correct them about...
Can you order one of those massive solar flares that will kill global power grids? Might give us a little bit of a reset.
So... the rest of us aren't perfect but IDK if id say "humanity" has failed. America certainly seems that way.
Okay yeah, but... nah, I can't think of a rebuttal. We're Michelan Star cooked.
hey don't rope the rest of the world in with your fuck up. Humanity hasn't failed, you failed. Americans failed. Just because I live above a Nazi Bar doesn't mean I go down there to have a pint. Fuck at this point if I did your SS would probably arrest me.
So stop being a bunch of Nazi's that you claim you aren't and go start rebelling.
Not all Americans.
Why are you lumping ME in with Americans? I'm Canadian
DEATH CAMP!
People will actually die here. The reason for death is irrelevant.
I’m convinced this place is designed to kill people. I mean, they defunded noaa, cancelled FEMA, and built a hastily constructed, non-storm rated facility and dropped it in hurricane alley. It’s already flooded once.
People died in concentration camps too - they are still distinct from death camps. There may be death camps in the near future, but there aren't yet.
Concentration camps are bad enough as is, and calling facilities like Alligator Alcatraz concentration camps has the advantage that it's the truth - they check all the boxes in the concentration camp definition checklist. If you make stuff up for dramatic effect your argument is no longer factually correct - which means it can be disputed using facts.
And they probably won't even tell the public about it
I don't actually want to say this but the USA was founded on genocide. It literally killed the native americans to take their land, same as hitler attempted to do with the polish people.
And...? Oh that was your whole point? Oh.
Yeah dude, we fucking know.
Hitler’s whole plan was modeled after American genocide, Manifest Destiny, and eugenics.
i see this sentiment a lot, and i just wonder if there are some people unaware that America was colonized by europeans
I think it's more that we are way into blissful ignorance in this country.
If you polled the citizens to ask whether America was founded/discovered by European explorers, the vast majority would agree. But of course, even if 80% or 90% get it right that still means tens of millions got it wrong.
But if you polled the citizens to ask whether US territory was simply discovered or stolen from existing inhabitants by murdering/genociding them, I bet you would flip the numbers.
That doesn't mean we should keep doing it.
If you sell them guns as you're killing them, you get to call it a war and not genocide.
"That wasn't genocide, it was an upgrade. They had no civilization. We rehabbed those savages." –my grandfather, probably.
OK so we should just let them keep doing it then
AND IN THE DAYS FOLLOWING THE OPENING OF THE CONCENTRATION CAMP CNN WAS FOCUSING MOST OF ITS ATTENTION ON THE TRIAL OF FUCKING P DIDDY
IKR? Puff Daddy is the kind of artist I generally could care less about since forever, and yet, it's nearly impossible to escape knowing some amount of detail about his propensity for lube or that NazYe showed up to his trial.
Bread & Circuses
Call it something that implies the administration collectively has small penises. They seem to be insecure about that.

Over*
The disillusioning thing, besides the grim, efficient-looking guards and their rifles, was in the faces of the prisoners. Under a smiling sky, there was not a smile in the 2,000. They looked sour, grim, sullen, sad or merely apathetic.
Gee, can’t imagine why.
HAS ANYONE NOTICED I'M ANGRY?
Yeah
HOW WILL THIS SHIT END? HOW DO WE END THE FUCKING HOLOCAUST?
Killing a shitload of Nazis seemed to help last time.
Unfortunately, the Nazis were only removed from power by an external military force much greater than them. Even after the war was utterly lost and the Allies were closing in on all sides and literally turning their cities into heaps of rubble, the Nazis never lost their chokehold on Germany. What external power is coming to remove Trump and his cronies?
I DON'T KNOW BUT I'M PISSED OFF WITH YOU. FUCK THESE EVIL PRICKS. IT MUST END
Where is united nations organisation ? Why are they not saying anything against USA policies ?
Trump should be charged with crimes against humanity
Yes, they can veto, but others should at least be going on the record and REQUIRING the US to use its veto.
This is some of the stupidest shit I hear on a regular basis. All my childhood, we were taught the phrase ‘checks and balances’ and then you come across shit like this. No one thought about any one of the UN powers becoming a problem? Does no one plan for these systems designed to prevent abuse to be… abused? “Sorry. Can’t tell them to stop the genocide. Go ask your mother.” Complete enabling bullshit.
oh boy the UN sends another strongly worded letter.
the UN is just a dog and pony show, they have no power at all, anywhere.
The UN has no power against the United States. The UN was setup to favor western powers and ideally prevent them from having direct war with one another again. Until the US bombs another Western country in the UN there is so reason to look to the UN for anything but empty condemnation.
Wasn't "concentration camp" a euphemism, too?
I mean, most people know people are not doing any "camping" at such a place, but....still.
No.
Camp means encampment. Which refers to temporary or light shelter, usually for a group. And the term "concentration camp" is from the 1800s.
Concentration camp did indeed start as a euphemism but it's not the "camp" part that was but the "concentration" part.
Most "untoward" things become more well known from their euphemisms. This is just a rare non-sex case.
And like the Germans in WW2, the Americans are also starving and beating these people, but they’ve outsourced that shit to nations like El Salvador to obscure the atrocities.
2,000 INMATES GLOOMY
I didn't realize how long the NYT had been like this.
Since at least the second Iraq war. They've got manufacturing consent down to a science.
Behind the Bastards did a good piece on the arguable complicity of the Times in the Holocaust over journalistic "neutrality".
Had trump not pretended to want to reopen Alcatraz and everyone rightly thought he was a fool. I imagine how outraged everyone would have that he actually build this concentration camp in Florida. Instead it was reduced to a mere pun.
Oh no, he's still trying to do that. It was one of the first things he ordered the Bureau of Prisons to do. He posted about it a few days ago, this time talking about somehow surrounding it with sharks (because of course).
I call it what it is, a Cruelty Centre.
Genocide camp
we can't upvote this enough
It most certainly is one.
Alligator Auschwitz Comcentration Camp?
I was under the impression we were already doing that.
Porque no los dos?
Because they want everyone to use their name for it. Magats love that name. It hides what it really is and lends a celebratory air to the base at the same time as an intimidating effect to potential victims. Remember, they want people to 'self-deport' and this is part of that strategy, in addition to its obvious use. So they're going to make more places like this with more names like this.
Don't help them. Don't go along with what they want. Resist them in every way possible, including not using their terminology--whether it's what they call concentration camps or what they call the bills they pass, like the huge hideous bill signed yesterday.
I disagree. If everyone immediately overnight started referring to it as "Alligator Alcatraz Concentration Camp" and were committed to using that name going forward no matter what, they sure the fuck wouldn't like it anymore.
