and the reason is...? is it because of deniability? hiding it?
-
Guantanamo out here like, am i chopped liver?

Reminds me of this line from the Clipping. song “Keep Pushing”:
You push so many keys that it's resembling Gitmo
Remember that place? Nobody else does
They like the past erased, so they can get buzzed

We have plenty of concentration camps at home, they are called prisons.
-
First nazi camp was in Dachau, built in 1933 in Bavaria, and there were many more opened before the ones in Poland. And even that was long after first German one in Namibia.
-
Yeah Dachau was the prototype camp and first used to murder communists. That comic stinks of revisionism, the first victims of the holocaust were murdered in 1933

Am I the only American who learned about our concentration camps in the Philippines during high school?!
Edit: actually I can't recall if that was in the lessons or self-taught... My Lai at least was... Damn memory

I went to secondary school in murica.
In a class that covered murican history 1850-present, we were told by the teacher that the Japanese-muricans living in murica that were interned in murica during WW2 were put in re-concentration camps. They were not put in concentration camps. The teacher said if you wrote concentration camp on the test, you would be marked wrong.
Much later, I met a person that had a family member in one of those concentration camps. That family member got a nickname because they were good at running out of the camp, stealing food, and coming back to feed their fellow concentration campers.
So yes, according to that teacher and if I had to guess their opinion, El Salvador's prison is likely the first concentration camp in murican history.
The teacher's dead now. Fuck him.

I'd guess your teacher may he rot in hell would have taken the conservative position that it's not a concentration camp but a legit prison for actual vIoLeNt CrImInAlS

The answer is Oklahoma. They made a big blob around where Oklahoma is now, called it "Indian Territory" and forced the natives to go live in an inhospitable shithole alongside other groups they might have hated. We will never know exactly how many died. We will never know the true cultural loss and impact. They didn't care to write it down. What they did care about was continuing to shrink the territory via expansion for decades until they found oil and other shit and voila it became a state.
Okay found the energy for snark: you don't do it in your own country but then later you annex it to make it your country.
Because

what is a prison? what is a plantation?
-
Both atrocities but not exactly concentrations camps and saying so normalizes the camps.

Goddamn, I hate AI art.
-
Seriously who the fuck thought this looked good?
-
people with no artistic sense or ability, just like the people who are super impressed by LLM generated writing are mostly subliterates with poor language skills

Someone who lacks the skills to draw it themselves. Which ok, fine, they had an idea they wanted to express and used an AI to express it. But there's so much terrible fluff in this picture that you wouldn't see in a human made piece. What does that weird line(road?) in the middle mean? Why are they in the desert? Why are the people in Auschwitz not behind bars but the people in El Salvador are? These are all things that could be considered and examined if a human made this, but because an AI made it, it is only ever going to be seen in a "the curtains are just blue" kind of way. No metaphor, not layers of ideas, just one, single idea "The US has made a concentration camp for the first time." Which is an idea so simple that it doesn't need artwork to describe it. I just described the central premise in a fairly short sentence.
I'll have to stop there or else I'll just rant even more.

CW: Nazi Genocide

The German one isn’t even true either. The first camp built on (back then) Polish grounds was Auschwitz in 1940. But there were already 62 camps built before that.
-
And then there's also Namibia long before the nazis
-
Yeah but Auschwitz is the only one that's known in pop culture, and what I don't know about simply doesn't exist
-
Not to mention all the ghettos which were functionally the same as concentration camps. They just didn't have the mass-murder assembly line that made them death camps like Auschwitz. Still, thousands of people died from exposure, starvation, disease, or straight-up murdered by the SS. The first Jewish quarters where they were walled into poor conditions opened in 1939. Göring first suggested the idea in 1938.

oh so the Germans deported the communists and trade unionists to playgrounds right up until 1939 right? couldn't have been concentration camps, they had to wait to invade Poland first according to this genius
-
The actual first was in Namibia, right?
- "Its not a concentration camp if a democrat built it"
