  I don’t have issues, I have a subscription, and it goes back a few decades. 🙃

  My suggestion didn’t come with a demand that Techdirt writers use that particular term. This particular troll has been demanding that Techdirt writers use “regime” when referring to the second Trump administration. Hence my challenge of “make him”: If they want their preferred term used, they need to back up their demand with action⁠—and if they can’t do that, they might want to stop making demands they can’t force others to follow.

  If you are using undocumented immigrants' tax records to find and kidnap them, then it was never about them paying taxes. If you are showing up at their place of employment, then it was never about them not working. If you are showing up at courthouses, then it was never about getting them to "do it the right way". If you are kidnapping women and children, then it was never about criminals. If you're refusing to give them due process, then it was never about the Constitution. If you are building concentration camps in Florida to keep them here in cages, then it was never about the border. If you're spending billions to do this, then it was never about the economy. And if you're doing all this in the name of a 34 time convicted felon, then it was never about following the law.

  That trust took generations to forge, and apparently only six months to annihilate.

  Trust and credibility are like a spinal cord: It only takes a moment to sever and no amount of repair or rehabilitation will ever fully fix it.

  You’ve demonstrated enough support for fascist ideologies and acts that the descriptor is warranted in regards to you. That besides, you don’t need to be a bigot to be a fascist⁠—but being a fascist puts you in league with bigots.

  Three things:

  1. Referring to the Dade-Collier Concentration Camp as “Alligator Auschwitz” plays into the hands of the Republicans who gave that site its nickname.
  2. Calling it a concentration camp is both factually accurate and stronger against “BuT iT’s NoT a DeAtH cAmP” bullshittery from Republicans.
  3. The leaders of Dade County wanted this concentration camp (or at least had no objections to having it built there), so I say they should be made to own it for as long as it exists.

  If you want to call it something else, feel free; I have no way of stopping you, and I wouldn't even if I did. Alls I’m saying is that I prefer referring to the Dade-Collier Concentration Camp with that exact name because using the “catchier” nickname doesn’t sit right with me.

  I’m a little surprised that you didn’t mention how, like current ur-fascist Donald Trump, a lot of techbros⁠—especially the rich and powerful ones⁠—are obsessed with genetic superiority and IQ and other such eugenics-laden bullshit.

  There’s a joke about draft dodging in here somewhere, but I’m not smart enough to make it.

  The troll to which I replied is in the habit of demanding that Techdirt writers refer to the second Trump administration as a regime instead of an administration. They’ve spammed the word “regime” across multiple articles to bolster their point. My point is that no one is required to follow that Coward’s demands unless they can produce proof of the godhood that would be necessary to make someone follow said demands. Hope this helps!

  Hey, so, nobody is forcing you to keep coming to this site. If you don’t like the fact that Techdirt writers aren’t using your preferred nomenclature for the second Trump administration, feel free to leave and go read a site that does use it.

  they are putting people in concentration camps right now

  And that includes the Dade-Collier Concentration Camp in Florida. No, that isn’t its official name or even its widely accepted “nickname”. Yes, it’s what it should be called⁠—in full, every time it’s referenced, no exceptions.

  Proof of godhood that requires someone to fulfill your demand, Coward.

  How many Republicans have visited those facilities to check on whether they’re complying with the law and/or not treating detainees like subhuman garbage? And don’t say “Kristi Noem”, because we all know the only reason she would visit one is for a photo op in her latest costume.

  And here’s [the latest reason](https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2025/jul/15/spokane-ice-protesters-including-stuckart-arrested/ why:

  Federal prosecutors are accusing nine protesters of crossing the line into violence against federal agents during a chaotic mass demonstration in Spokane over the detainment of two young asylum seekers. Some leaders, including U.S. Sen. Patty Murray and Spokane Mayor Lisa Brown, are instead pointing the finger at the federal government for carrying out intimidation tactics to enforce the Trump Administration’s immigration crackdown.

  Furthermore, ICE must be abolished.
