You are an idiot. You are trying to frame it as me saying concentration camps are not so bad. What I said is Gaza is not a concentration camp.
I'm assuming you mean the internment camps that many Americans that had Japanese ancestry were subjected to. Yes, not all were death camps. Had your dumbass followed, you would have seen the context that my comment was placed in.
Nope, because that is not needed.
And the crux of your claim is to try and claim the situation is not so bad.
No, I fully understood your idiotic context, and in fact that's my fucking point, your context is deliberately ignoring the aspects that show it to be wrong (which is a common problem for your posts on here, with you typically then trying to argue very specific "well this is the true original meaning of the phrase, look that's how they used it 400 years ago!"). If you weren't so intent on arguing despicable viewpoints and constantly trying desperately to distort things to act like you aren't, then people wouldn't constantly point out your idiotic arguments and methods. But the reason why people are so harsh toward you is because they can see the inherent disgusting nature of your arguments, and that you regularly try to defend such using insipid claims, so as to try and get people to stop addressing the horrible shit you're actually defending or supporting.
Internment camps
are concentration camps. Those weren't the only concentration camps we used either (yes, concentration camps are a very common method for housing opposing military prisoners).
Like I said, go talk to Native American tribes if you think "technically not exactly a concentration camp" policies aren't so bad. They had experience directly with full on exactly concentration camps as well. I have a hunch they'd probably say that the specific differences don't matter, as it was the same policies and general hatred that was the cause of both, and that was and still is the real problem. There are plenty of other similar situations that you could go ask the people about how they should be grateful for not having been put in concentration camps, despite having experienced the same things that give concentration camps such a negative connotation.
Your argument actually is pedantic though. Because you're arguing about details big and small. Its not a literal camp built to house them by their oppressors, but also because Israel isn't treating Gaza the same as Nazis treated the Jews. It doesn't matter, the same mentality is behind them, and that's what people are really arguing against. Its just that concentration camps are a very tangible thing to point to (and isn't it odd how often those crop up when certain people making claims about groups of people being to blame for problems?). People are quite aware of the differences. They can see that yes, obviously there are differences between where they're putting the separated immigrant children now, or what ISIS was doing, or POW camps, or Nazi concentration camps, but the mentality driving every single one of those situations is the same. People can see the nuances between them, but still be appalled about their general mentality (hate of some other group), and how that tends to manifest itself into them putting those groups in some form of isolated containment.
In common parlance, who uses "concentration camp" to refer to anything but the Nazis or Gaza? More importantly, who doesn't immediately think "Nazi" when that phrase is used? In this world, that is the connotation of the phrase. Everyone knows what is being suggested when Gaza is referred to as a "concentration camp." There is a reason such a loose and literally inaccurate analogy is used in reference to Gaza.
I know a lot of people that call the Japanese-American internment camps as concentration camps. Because that's what they were. In fact, I know far more that call a multitude of other situations as concentration camps and until quite recently almost no one that called Gaza such (partly because Israel has ratcheted up their actions more recently, and partly because they actively worked to control the narrative for so long because they knew exactly how that looks and that people wouldn't be ok with that), so I don't even get your argument that these are the only two situations referred to as such, as that's not my experience at all. People refer to the Russian Gulags in that manner because its more practical and more menacing. It also is more specific. Its why people often talk about the Holocaust, or the specific camps when talking about the Nazis (although it too is by far the most associated with the phrase concentration camps, that absolutely is not the only situation). And for America, they talk about the Trail of Tears and the reservation policies.
Its all the same shit though. No, not the exact same, which everybody understands so there's no reason to even be pedantic about that aspect; the point being the general behavior is the same, and the reason that general behavior is so alarming because we have lots of evidence of where that leads. The reasons why people are making comparisons between just about any similar situation, is because that's how it often starts. If you tolerate such at almost any level, there's a very good chance that things will escalate. And we've seen just about every way those situations can evolve. Some are very slowly over an extended period of time, and others it one day goes from general disdain to full blown genocide, and just about everything in between.
Bullshit.
The British invented concentration camps.
And Gaza meets most of the criteria for being a concentration camp. The people incarcerated in it havent had a trial, they lack free movement, the ingress and egress of goods are controlled...
I mean if we want to be more accurate we could call it a ghetto but I'm guessing that would trigger you as well.
For the modern method, America actually was ahead of the Brits (we did that to some of the native tribes in the 1830s), although, that's just being stupidly pedantic, as humans have been pulling some similar shit for probably about as long as we've been around). Arguing about what technically is a concentration camp or not is just ignoring the broader issue, and it certainly should not be a contest for who can be "the best" at doing concentration camps. They have been a far too common and horrible aspect of humankind.
