I mean, Alligator Auschwitz would probably be more apt anyway.
I'm pretty sure it's light-weight psyops. Gitmo got a cutesy name as well. Anyone not directly part of the silly walks ministerium doesn't give a nickname to something so serious.
Its a psyop to make media choose for fake ai, high click rate images Rather then real pictures:
3 ai pictures used by “news” sites:
Real picture below for comparison, shows the people who made the above do know what the tents look like.
Also its “build on a runway”, makes you “think” they are using it as temporary place before being deported by plane but no the tents are build ON the runway
You are honestly overcomplicating it. It's not a psyop, it's marketing and PR. Evil is terribly banal; it doesn't take mustache-twirling villains, only average people who are willing to do whatever they need to do to avoid being in trouble themselves.
They need "Alligator Alcatraz" because Republicans figured out 25 years ago that a catchy name goes farther than anything more serious. It is why "Obamacare" is still reviled to this day, despite near unanimous support for the ACA. Nancy Pelosi shutting down Walz for his "weird" label was perhaps the biggest unforced error in political history.
It’s ~~not~~ a psyop, it’s also marketing and PR.
Marketing and PR are psyops too. It is very important to those in power that you don't think badly of them. Psychology is really at the root of marketing and PR.

Hey whatever happened to cruel and unusual anyway???
Yeah for being in the Florida Everglades that doesn't even look air conditioned. Cages aside.
This years Fyre festival looking neat.
If I lived in Florida I'd be doing everything I could to burn that place to the ground. Damn the consequences
