Mark These Words - There will be concentration camps.

[WOLFMAN87]

They will take pains to give them a innocuous names, and avoid saying the word camps, but in my book a place to hold hated "undesirable" persons against their will are concentration camps, no matter how long they are detained there.
There is just too much money to be earned for the haters not to create a system that will deport the hated.
Speaking of money, you can bet your bottom dollar that there will be innocents whose lives will be ruined by being swept up in this heinous dragnet.

1. Lots of empty prisons in this country...

2. They'll start with undocumented immigrants.

Then legal immigrants.
Then naturalized immigrants.
Then democratic officeholders.
Then journalists.
Then activists.
Then generic Democrats.
Then us.

3. I'd like to say: Don't be silly, we're still a fair and loving country.

...but I can't.

[chouchou]

6. Your words are so very true. Boy..Sometimes a person REALLY wants to wake up....

...and think.."Whoa..THAT was a crummy dream!"

[LudwigPastorius]

5. "They will take pains to give them a innocuous names, and avoid saying the word camps..."

History doesn't repeat itself, but it sometimes rhymes.

[roamer65]

7. Dumb move in a country packed to the gills with firearms.

Recipe for secession and civil war.

[BoRaGard]

8. G.O.P. will market them as retreats: Air D & P's

for Air Discipline & Punishment "retreats"

To satisfy the repubes anti-christian
vengeance and sadism kink thingy.

[joshcryer]

9. Yeah they will be FEMA style tent camps. Mostly dreamers and old maids.

It's going to be an absolute shitshow.

[Initech]

10. Here's what I want to know -

How are they going to use the military to deport 13 million people when the fucking idiots said they're going to cut the Department of Defense? I can't even with their bullshit.

[keep_left]

16. I don't think that's the part of the DOD they'll be cutting. In fact, Eloon...

...made a statement about how they were planning a carve-out or exemption from the radical austerity to which the rest of us "little people" will be subjected.

11. 'concentration camps' are expensive and are the opposite of deportation

I don't see it.

[WOLFMAN87]

13. They need facilities

Places to sort them process them, until they can load them on planes.

Countries will refuse them if it is millions. Then where will they go?

Besides the govt will pay high prices to investors.

[travelingthrulife]

15. The private prison industry is for it! Their stock soared with Trump's 'win'

They will use them for very cheap labor and the prison industry gets a slice of that pie.
My brother worked at a metals factory in Wisconsin while taking care of my parents. He said they bussed prisoners in from Milwaukee prisons daily and they worked side by side with him.

[milestogo]

12. That makes no sense unless they are planning extermination.

Deportation does not imply extermination.

[WOLFMAN87]

17. Concentration camp does not include killing inmates

German concentration camps were first used for weeding out undesirables, then forced labor, then the final solution

American concentration camp in WW2. We're used to concentrate the Japanese population of the US, but without the killing

[Mosby]

21. Why use the term then?

Why not call them internment camps?

We all know why.

Loaded language[a] is rhetoric used to influence an audience by using words and phrases with strong connotations. This type of language is very often made vague to more effectively invoke an emotional response and/or exploit stereotypes.[1][2][3] Loaded words and phrases have significant emotional implications and involve strongly positive or negative reactions beyond their literal meaning.

18. Well... maybe.

At the same time, positive stories were fabricated as part of the planned deception. One booklet printed in 1941 glowingly reported that, in occupied Poland, German authorities had put Jews to work, built clean hospitals, set up soup kitchens for Jews, and provided them with newspapers and vocational training. Posters and articles continually reminded the German population not to forget the atrocity stories that Allied propaganda spread about Germans during World War I, such as the false charge that Germans had cut off the hands of Belgian children.

The perpetrators also hid their murderous intentions from many of the victims. Before and after the fact, the Germans used deceptive euphemisms to explain and justify deportations of Jews from their homes to ghettos or transit camps, and from the ghettos and camps to the gas chambers at Auschwitz and other killing centers. German officials stamped “evacuated,” a word with neutral connotations, on the passports of Jews deported from the Germany and Austria to the “model” ghetto at Theresienstadt, near Prague, or to ghettos in the East. German bureaucrats characterized deportations from the ghettos as “resettlements,” though such “resettlement” usually ended in death.

19. The US put Japanese in concentration camps in WW2

Without extermination.

Same idea.

[milestogo]

20. Internment camps

That's where they hold people without filing charges.

14. "...there will be innocents whose lives will be ruined..."

YES, there will. And when that happens who's going to hear them out? The gestapo that rounded them up in the first place? Sure....
