To libs, the most you could get them to admit is that they're 'passive' death camps that kill by neglect, even though the neglect and outcome is intentional. For the average person to outright call them death camps, we'd probably have to see straight up kinetic executions. Which uh, I don't think is too far off, especially if I'm right and 2024 is a hard slide to fash as people get sick of Biden and Harris being as impotent as Obama but with none of the charisma, and who ultimately fail to properly handle the delicate situation that's landed in their unprepared laps. Extra Fash USA 2024 is looking like a real possibility, and so are those mask off death camps. :this-is-fine:
You could show a :LIB: a prisoner digging their own mass grave, kneel down, be shot, and have the camp guards kick his body into the hole he just dug, and the :LIB: would say that it is not a death camp, because death camps had gas chambers.
When I was young and in school and learning about the holocaust and other genocides, I wondered how it could ever have been allowed to occur. Surely someone would stand up and say something. Surely someone would've come in and put a stop to it.
I don't wonder anymore.

For me, it was more how they could pull it off in practice. I saw the pictures from Mengele's laboratory, the endless piles of shorn hair, the mass graves, and i wondered "how could they find that many people to do these things?" These where atrocities as depraved as the deeds of the worst serial killer, but how many serial killers are there? Clearly not enough at any given time to run Auschwitz, let alone an entire country full of Auschwitzes. I looked at old men on the street, those old enough to have been in the SS, wondering if that frail, kindly septuagenarian could be a psychopathic killing machine deep down inside. If my grandparents' old friends, cheerful people in their sunday clothes, smelling of Kölnisch Wasser and mothballs, had been among the killers. It couldn't be that they had been born that way. Something had turned them. Not just a few, but millions of them. And many millions more to enable it. I wondered what that thing could have been, wondered what it took to make a man a monster and a state a slaughterhouse. And like you, i don't wonder anymore.
Thank you!

killing someone through willful negligence is intentional murder. courts have been very clear on that.
the idea that there isnt murder happening that goes past that threshhold is absolute naivete.
we know that people in custody are dying. disappearing, being abused, having forcible operations done on them...
the death camps are already as mask off as the death camps in nazi germany ever were.
edit: just... fucking :LIB:s will never admit that because it means admitting how complicit they are in genocide
editedit: youre welcome tho. the whole thing drives me insane
