    The term "concentration camp" obviously evokes parallels to the Holocaust and if that's not what you're intending to do, simply pick another term. See? Easy

        But if you want to "cancel" Bernie for declining to posit that 2019 America is meaningfully comparable to 1939 Germany, go ahead I guess

        Not having "credibility" in the eyes of someone as chronically wrong, dishonest, and cheap as you is actually a fantastic asset

        Britiain pioneered concentration camps in the Boer war, the word can be used just fine. Let's not pretend that US and UK are somehow above reproach. Britain killed tens of millions before the world wars and the US have killed tens of millions since. Let's own our history.

        Except they're not political prisoners or a persecuted minority and no one is forcing them to come to these camps. They are willingly coming here to seek refuge and await trial so they can immigrate to the United States.

        I did my dissertation on #ConcentrationCamps, so I have a few thoughts about @AOC's use of the term to describe the build up of camps on the US southern border. For those in a hurry, here's the take-home message: By any reasonable definition, these are concentration camps

        I’m happy to evoke parallels to any other time in history where a country did concentration camps. We have concentration camps now. We’ve had them in the past.

        its precisely because the Holocaust happened that we should be pushing back against rounding up people into concentration camps on the basis of their race
