Whoa one guy dislikes a Congresswoman?

People that experience extreme trauma don't always think with the clearest heads. Can't blame them for what they went through.
---

Is this supposed to be news? She's dumber than a sack of hammers.
---

She called the detainment facilities "concentration camps" not "Nazi concentration camps." There's a difference, but I guess people just look for excuses to hate her.

Liberas take another loss, Trump waddles towards another term and likely some other republican comes after him

The side of "you have to take into account historical context" for the slightest of slights sure is willing to twist into pretzels to pretend like everyone doesn't associate concentration camps with the Holocaust.

and I went to a genocide conference last year where a survivor of both Auschwitz and Dachau suggested that the Trump adminstration's immigration policy has similarities to the Nazi regime's, if that's a metric you wanna go by

More then on scholar and survivor agrees with AOC.
The dictionary agrees with AOC.

Sorry Republicans Facts don't care about your feelings.

She deserves all the hate she gets.

Crazy how people are more upset at what she called them instead of, ya know, what's actually happening in these literal concentration camps.

Who is arguing that the most famous example of this accurate term wasn't the Nazi version?

The term is correct, Sorry that people like you write off the bad stuff that happen to other groups. Since the holocaust was not even the first time Germany used them. So other who died in camps should be forgotten.

It's fun that you pretend like she didn't intentionally use the term to invoke the Holocaust. Pretending sure is fun, it's like exercise for your imagination.

Even if that were the case, it doesn't mean that there aren't other concentration camps outside of the Holocaust. And it doesn't take away from what happened in the holocaust by calling it a concentration which it is by definition.

Imagine being more mad about the usage of the term rather than the fucked up shit happening at these facilities.

Why would calling a bad thing a bad thing evoke other well known examples of bad thing?

But did you know the Nazis already made the worst concentration camps?

I don't know this Ed Mosburg, but by containing the term "concentration camps" to only the ones meant for Jews in Nazi Germany during WW2, is shitting on refugee kids at the border, Japanese Americans, Native Americans, and more.

The NYpost article makes the dude sound like an idiot. He really thinks the people in Trump's camps are there because they want to be there? That's what the NYPost's article makes it sound like he thinks.

Its always been shitty to call the illegal immigrant detention centers as concentration camps.

Because they support what's happening in the concentration camps.

executing prisoners is not a defining feature of concentration camps. many concentration camps did not execute prisoners. hopefully, the concentration camps in question belong to that category.

The Nazis committed numerous crimes. Historians generally agree that their worst crime by far was blocking the illegal entry of foreign migrants. The fact that the Nazis seperated the children from the adults that they traveled with was especially bad, because the Nazis were trying to confirm that they were not human trafficking victims. It was a bit difficult for Hitler to maintain his camps because the volume of illegal border crossings in the direction of Nazi Germany was so high.

Imho, it is extremely hyperbolic to call them concentration camps. If anyone wants to see a modern example of concentration camps, just look up what's happening in western China.

If you're a Republican, you bring up how these illegals get hundreds spent on their shelter and food daily, plus security while there's homeless veterans.

That or, you know, misuse lines from the Bible to justify building a wall and locking up kids who were brought here by their parents.

It's not hyperbolic. They fit the definition of a concentration camp.

To emphasize this, many NAZI concentration camps didn't even execute prisoners. Camps would just relocate people to the ones that did when they decided to.

I didn't say it was the defining feature it's one only feature that isn't seen in both like the others.

According to Fox News host Laura Ingraham, we should call them summer camps. I mean, who doesn't have fond memories of those classic camp games like scavenger hunt-for-food, or distressed toddler charades?

Let us hope the schoolchildren visitors are properly taught about the elegant swimming-pool at Auschwitz, built by the inmates, who would sunbathe there on Saturday and Sunday afternoons while watching the water-polo matches; and shown the paintings from its art class, which still exist; and told about the camp library which had some forty-five thousand volumes for inmates to choose from, plus a range of periodicals; and the six camp orchestras at Auschwitz/Birkenau, its theatrical performances, including a childrens opera, the weekly camp cinema, and even the special brothel established there. Lets hope they are shown postcards written from Auschwitz, some of which still exist, where the postman would collect the mail twice-weekly. Thus the past may not always be quite, as we were told.

Some of them do genuinely support it but know they can't admit it publicly. Some of them just want to get the "illegals" cleaned up and not think much about how it happens as long as they're out of the country.

Either way, they're desperately trying to steer the conversation away from what's actually happening.
