…concentration…camps? Poison gas showers, slave labor, cremation ovens? Concentration camps, designed to slaughter people en masse?
I agree, they were overcrowded because there were so many illegal immigrants. There were a few deaths, and even abuses, I read some of them. I’m not cheering for things like that.
But to label detention camps as concentration camps like Nazi Germany, that’s not even close to true. If we’re calling those concentration camps, I must say, they are the worst concentration camps in the history of the world. Or does that, ironically, make them the best? The concentration camps with the least deaths.
I don’t recall us going into Mexico & other countries, rounding up foreign citizens, and bringing them to the United States specifically to be killed in concentration camps as an ethnic cleansing.
It is clear we don’t agree politically, but I’ve seen the unaltered clips of that salute & it’s…idk it’s kinda fucked up & difficult to explain away. Terrible optics.
I suggest you look up what most concentration camps were like. Auschwitz was an exception even by the standards of concentration camps and is nowadays usually called “extermination camp” for that reason.
That doesn’t mean that the other camps weren’t horrible, they were, but they were also awfully comparable to a lot of things that happen in the US prison system.

they don’t have to be industrialized murder facilities to be concentration camps.
And it’s just one step away. We’ve got oligarchs doing Nazi salutes at the coronation of a new god-king. It’s hardly inconceivable.
