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

Alligator Auschwitz
Yep
Alligator Auschwitz
Bum-Fuck Buchenwald
Crocodile Kraków
DeSantis Dachau
Everglades Esterwegen
Gator Gross-Rossen
Hillbilly Hinzert
MAGA Mauthhausen
Redneck Ravensbrüch
South-Florida Sachsenhausen
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.

DEATH CAMP!
People will actually die here. The reason for death is irrelevant.
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.
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.
Yeah, wiping out a church camp is definitely a "sign".

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.
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.
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.
That doesn't mean we should keep doing it.
OK so we should just let them keep doing it then
If you sell them guns as you're killing them, you get to call it a war and not genocide.

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.
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.

Not for the first time in American history, but hopefully for the last time.
People give me shit for getting hung up on specifics, but remember that the majority of Germans really didn't know what was going on at the camps till the very end of the war when they were shown film evidence of camps being liberated.
The literal card carrying nazis tried to hide it better than what is happening now, when members of the party openly "joke" about feeding 65 million (the number of Hispanics, not immigrants even if legal were included) to alligators, there is no logical reason to believe they're being honest about what is really happening there.
Alligators have stomach acid strong enough to dissolve bone, it takes a while (months?) but eventually there will be no trace of a body. They could literally be tossing them in a swamp to dispose of bodies and because of how shadowy arrests have been, I doubt they're keeping good records of inmates.
People are going to disappear
I think someone needs to dump tons of this in the swamp.
