Is it OK to call them concentration camps yet?

Or do we have to wait until they all get built?

Until they get filled?

Until they become death camps?

Please, if you object to the term “concentration camp” right now, clearly identify your bright line for when that term becomes acceptable.

You mean a Yellow Line?

@inthehands "No one is suggesting that ICE is planning anything close to mass extermination..." Like fucking hell, that's *exactly* what they're going to do. Oh my god, even the critical media still doesn't want to believe it...

[nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social]

@inthehands Nah. We had concentration camps since Trump's first period of rule over America and now we're making them as literal and direct as possible. We're *LONG* past the point that it's inexcusable that the media refuses to admit it.

For that matter, we're long past the point that the rest of the world should continue to refuse to acknowledge that this country is committing crimes against humanity. At least admit it even if you do nothing about it rest of the world!

Is someone stopping you from doing that?

@inthehands I've called them concentration camps the entire time, or for profit death camps- if it makes someone uncomfortable- GOOD! This should make ALL of us more than uncomfortable!! #abolishice

@inthehands nah, at this point? All of the people losing their shit demanding people not call them concentration camps, are being added to the 'collaborator' list and we be dealt with as such.

In Europe, we knew about the camps the US Americans were building and we were wondering what they were for.

When it becomes obvious that they can't move that many fucking people out of the country, they will most certainly become death camps. That's what the original Nazis came to realize and it's what the new Nazis are going to realize, too.

If the administration manages to somehow open and fill all of those facilities, there's going to be a new problem. How are they going to actually deport that many people? What will they do when the target countries inevitably refuse to accept more deportees?

@bruce @inthehands

You need to look into what actually happened last time. The reason they were called 'concentration camps' is because the official line for the public was they were for the concentration of people 'illegally' in the country (being a jew in Germany was made illegal) for deportation when receiving countries became available.

They didn't look all that hard.

@Orb2069 @inthehands

My questions were a bit rhetorical. I think we all know where this can lead.

@jargoggles @theorangetheme @inthehands

The nazis were straight up killing people for convenience/'purity' justifications fairly early on ( https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Aktion_T4 ), there wasn't any indication the camp deaths weren't always part of the program.

[disorderlyf@todon.eu]

@bruce @inthehands I'm sure the administration will come up with some sort of answer, maybe even a permanent one...Wait, no. There's some other way to phrase it that sounds more apt but I can't quite think of it...

@jargoggles @theorangetheme @inthehands 100% that’s already why they aren’t providing even minimal health care
