shrug, sure there are strong associations, but it doesn't denote anything to do with the holocaust. american camps for japanese people were just as much concentration camps. the kristallnacht analogy would be stronger if people were saying 'konzentrationslager'

do you really believe that the phrasing was chosen without the holocaust in mind?

if she meant to compare the situation with the holocaust, and all her followers understood the comparison, it's legitimate for her critics to understand it in the same way

shrug, sure, and Our Concentration Camps Are Different would be a valid response. Our Camps Aren't Concentration Camps Because They Lack a Property of Concentration Camps also. Our Camps Aren't Concentration Camps Because We're Not Executing People is just a non sequitur

the word 'concentration camp', in nonacademic english language, means the nazi camps and has the implication that they may turn into death camps

so it's "when you say concentration camp people think you're saying death camp and we're not killing anybody except by neglect so that's not fair"?

lol ofc she meant the connotation, and i don’t even know whether the denotation is fully accurate but i don’t know why i’d be okay with people taking a shit on it because they’re snowflakes about the connotation
