I guess it’s a fitting term
A concentration camp is a prison or other facility used for the internment of political prisoners or politically targeted demographics, such as members of national or minority ethnic groups, on the grounds of state security, or for exploitation or punishment
The reason why news is hesitant to use it is because of the association with Nazi death camps. In my experience that’s what people usually think of when they hear concentration camp.

That’s what they should be thinking of. If folks wait until they become extermination camps then it’s even more too late to start caring than it already is.
I was just saying that news that at least in theory often try to be objective shy away from using such terms because of their associations. Reminding people of how Nazis went from concentration camps to death camps is valuable but I’m not surprised if a news site doesn’t want to do that.
All good, my vehemence wasn’t directed at you. You make good points, an apologies if it seemed otherwise!
No worries :)
I love seeing these type of interactions on Lemmy.
For my two cents, this is the main thing I told every Trump supporter I talked with why I would never vote for him. Every other reason they had dumb counterarguments for, but not kids in cages. None of them liked the idea when it happened the first time. Now I have two things to ask them about.
- How they feel about kids in cages again?
- How do they like the economy they voted for?
