    We shouldn’t use any of the branding the nazis have provided. It’s the Everglades concentration camp.

      One of the few new things the current crop of fascists have invented is a way to make all this horror sound fun and harmless by the use of mean humor.

      So, yes, don’t call it that. I agree.

          I 100% disagree. It’s catchy, it’s exactly the same, and gives you a picture in your head instantly.

              I agree. As fun as it is to say, it puts a bit of humor into a humorless situation. No one would laugh if someone said German-Jew-Barbecue.

              But it helps to have a marketing slogan to get others to understand that this is a bad thing. They built a facility for people to go and die in. Might as well call it Auschwitz.
