      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

      Example of how you can discuss contemporary problems without lapsing into ridiculously inflammatory hyperbole that recalls the most catastrophic era in human historyhttps://twitter.com/CNN/status/1141151760087769093 …

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

          Bernie was cancelled after the 2016 primaries in my mind, then certainly when he stumped for Hillary. Tulsi Gabbard would have my vote now.

          Concentration camps began in Africa with the British in South Africa and Kenya and the Germans in Namibia, they have a far longer history than 1939.

          Without massive TDS throughout Twitterverse, AOC tweet would just come and go as one of her Tweets that misfired. What makes the whole episode nuts is that AOC tweet is taken seriously by "serious" people - which only happens because TDS severely impairs critical thinking skills

          dude, a concentration camp is just that. the Holocaust started 7 years after the Nazis started putting people in concentration camps, which by the way were inspired by the US' treatment of Native Americans.

          It is meaningfully comparable to 1933 Germany when Dachau was constructed and the NYTimes ran a piece saying it was not so bad
