I do wish folks would stop using "alligator alcatraz".
It is a concentration camp.
It is not intended as a form of punishment or deterrence for criminals. It is intended as a means of removing humans the government does not like from society.
It's not a joke, it's not a meme, it's not a t-shirt.
It's a concentration camp.
I'm told by some respondents that "alligator auschwitz" is better.
1) Why are you fucking meme-ing concentration camps?
2) Why you think everybody knows what Auschwitz was?
3) Why I spozed to think you know the difference between Auschwitz and, say, Theresienstadt? Why I spozed to think you know who even invented concentration camps?
I ain't lookin' to be clever and cool, and I am definitely not looking to be funny. I'm lookin' to tell the simple and plain truth.
I think there's a legitimate case here. See what you think:
1) a concentration camp is really being built, memes spread and persist effectively, so meme'ing the concentration camp is an effective way to counter the lie that the camp is a prison.
2) because of the scale of WW2. This may be a mistake. Perhaps too many people have forgotten.
3) doesn't matter. The popular knowledge is that Auschwitz was a concentration camp, and alliteration helps the meme. The Spanish invented CCs.
It is also absolutely correct to say it was a concentration camp, because it was. It later became an extermination camp. Before either, it was a military base.
Furthermore, in conversational English, the term extermination camp is synonymous with the term concentration camp.
