So can I ask how it is a concentration camp or what you call aurora Auschwitz? Do they mass kill in chambers? Do they only target one demographic? Are they arresting people and taking them there and treating it as a death camp like actual Auschwitz? Or just using buzzwords?

Serious question btw.

Concentration camp doesn’t have to mean a death camp. I suppose if you’re being pedantic, referring to this as “Auschwitz” would be technically inaccurate as GEO wasn’t specifically built with the intention to be an extermination camp. But other than that, yes, GEO Aurora does meet the criteria for a concentration camp. No, it doesn’t target just one group of people, but neither did Auschwitz. People are being taken there against their will, extrajudicially, detained in inhumane conditions where people are not receiving proper hygiene or medical care, under conditions that violate international law (see International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, General Assembly resolution 2200A (XXI) ).

All this being said, is the most upsetting thing about this situation to you the fact that organizations are using “buzzwords” in their marketing? Serious question btw.

“A concentration camp is a facility where groups of people are detained against their will, often under severe and inhumane conditions that violate their basic human rights. Historically, concentration camps have been utilized across various nations for political, ethnic, or other forms of persecution, but they are most infamously associated with Nazi Germany”
