Alligator Auschwitz works for that. Someone called it that last week.
We shouldn’t use any of the branding the nazis have provided. It’s the Everglades concentration camp.
Why?
Because it really takes a seriousness away from it.
I 100% disagree. It's catchy, it's exactly the same, and gives you a picture in your head instantly.
That’s exactly the point: calling something a concentration camp shouldn’t sound like a marketing slogan that promotes it. Nothing really grabs attention of the public while also communicating something is unquestionably bad than calling a concentration camp. Because that’s exactly what it is.
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.
You sweet summer child
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.
