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.

Call it something that implies the administration collectively has small penises. They seem to be insecure about that.

"Alligator Auschwitz"
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.
OK so we should just let them keep doing it then
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.
Hitler’s whole plan was modeled after American genocide, Manifest Destiny, and eugenics.
We are the big brother to Nazism. The USA been playing that good fascist bad fascist game for a long time now.
Also Jim Crow laws
Eugenics in America predates the third Reich.
Generally something would need to exist for it to be used as a model in another thing, yes
It was also modeled on our auto industry and car culture.
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.
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.
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.
Maybe so.
Considering the death of 20+ innocent kids via a flash flood in TX, who knows the multi that would drown at this camp.
It's amazing to me that they have no problem blaming the gays for hurricanes, yet it never goes the other way... I mean, if you're someone who looks for "signs" in the weather, it doesn't get any more obvious than what happened in Texas.

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...
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.
