I understand it's embarrassing to admit you don't know what a concentration camp is, but doubling down on the stupidity is not the way to go.
Yea, this pseudo-intelligence shtick is tired. You said something dumb, get over it,

Meh. There were Japanese-Americans betraying the US and pledging allegiance to Japan. Not many other options during that time
You dont trample on the civil liberties of 100,000s to stop a couple bad guys

We were putting Japanese Americans in concentration camps before we even knew of the atrocities of Auschwitz.
Sure, but that's irrelevant.

Many people have never heard the term used outside of Nazi camps
Because no one would rationally use it as such in modern times. The strict definition has been corrupted thanks to the Nazis and what they did in their concentration camps. This sort of thing happens all the time, language and terms evolve.

Slack did that at least 3 times in the Jussie thread, and I'm kinda over his shtick.
What? I stand by my takes in that thread. You disagree. It's okay.

“I’ve always been obsessed with women, and I’ve often wondered: If I had grown up in Poland when Hitler came to power and was sent to a concentration camp, would I still be checking out women in the camp? I think I would,”

Of course you do. You've turned into a clown and get off on inventing arguments.

While still wrong there’s a stark difference between what happened to Japanese Americans and concentration camps
Can you restate in English?
Stark difference between what happened to the Japanese in American camps and Americans (or anyone else) captured by the Japanese?
Obviously. The Japanese were among the most brutal in history. Throwing out a "but" as your first reaction to innocent Americans being imprisoned based on their race via executive order in the "land of the free" is weird to me.

You're so bothered by the crime question that you're seriously trying to say the internment camps don't fit the exact definition of a concentration camp. They are, in every sense of the word, a concentration camp. Arguing otherwise is simply ignorant.

And every piece of reasoning behind the support of the internment is racial. Even people today who have no problem with it.

If you say so.

Didn't once say that at all actually. Reading is hard for you when you just want to invent arguments.

Say it with me, no one is doing that.

Not all concatenation camps are death camps. Concentration camps are..... wait for it.... where they concentrate people. They’ve been used for thousands of years.
The British had concentration camps in the Boer war, and if I’m remembering correctly, the US had them in the Spanish American war, or in the phillipeans
In fact, I saw something recently that aushwitz shouldn’t even be seen as a concentration camp. There was a concentration camp next door and aushwitz was where people were sent to die died.

No, it doesn't, and to suggest otherwise is gay.

It was fricked up but I totally understand why they did it. Japanese are a different breed, and I could see a lot of them giving their loyalty to god emperor above any newfound loyalty to the United States considering most were probably still 1st generation back then
Yeah hindsight is 20/20.
Umm, yeah, we’re at war and trying to, like, not have the rest of our fleet destroyed or be invaded and stuff.
So, like, even a small chance of betrayal or espionage had to be treated very seriously, especially given how fanatical Imperial Japanese people seemed to be.

LNCH, it's like you're posting in another thread my friend. It was argued against from the very first post in this thread.

Not it was not. But you keep clinging to that.
ETA: And I'm convinced that you'r upvoting your own posts at this point
