what would CNN’s euphemism, in the name of journalistic neutrality, be for extermination camps?

Canevecchio

@interfluidity As ever, the Nazis already had a euphemism for it—“Konzentrationslager”, KZ (Kah Zett) for short. Meaning, roughly, a place where we can gather ‘em all together and keep an eye on ‘em, not a place where we can lock ‘em in what looks to the incautious observer like shower trailers, then pour rat poison on them through the fake showerheads, until the screaming and gagging stops.

@Canevecchio (i’m not sure that one, “concentration camp” in translation, would meet CNN’s high standards of journalistic neutrality, given its well-known history.)

@interfluidity An accident of history, apparently, is all that defanged it and left it unavailable for CNN and Trump’s future use. Yet English is a rich language. I’m sure Stephen Miller and Elon Musk already have some alternatives ready to go….
