    None of these people used the “I’m just following orders” until they were in handcuffs. They didn’t give a fuck before then.

    You’d think that Americans being represented more than the Germans would be telling…

          My argument would be that Indian reservations were concentration camps, although they predate the use of the term.

          I’m aware the Spanish did it in Cuba in the late 1800’s, and the British did during the Boer war, but were the British doing it in advance of the relocation of Native Americans started by the US in 1830?

            Britains first colonial project was Ireland, which began around 1169 and intensified into the 1500s. They still occupy a part of the island and killings of unarmed civilians (sometimes children, sometimes shot in the back) are still being investigated and prosecuted.

              Colonizing and occupying the island, and even killing the residents wouldn’t be the same as establishing concentration camps.

              I’m not familiar with the details of the British occupation of Ireland, but the earliest I can find instances of people being put in camps is in the 1920’s

              Did Britain create some form of concentration camps before then?

              Edit: it is such a fucked up thing to be claiming “credit” for.

                The island was so small that it was a camp itself, just referred to as Ireland. I can understand how that could be missed in a relative brief search.

                It was heavily surveilled, controlled and garrisoned with similar abuse and exploitation that Native Americans faced. So the name and presentation is different maybe, but it’s essentially the same.

                Later there were further camps called internment camps and prison camps. You’ll find reference to these around the time of the 1798 rebellion.

      This is ai? I can’t find any obvious tells…

      There’s some weirdness with eyes and the little boy I guess

        There’s weird details on some of the fingers that an artist probably wouldn’t put there (just extra lines, no extra fingers), the text is pretty telltale of the new GPT image generation but the most clear way to tell is the SS on the collar and the piece on the hat.

        They all look the same because it’s been trained so. Wonder how many artists have had their work stolen so some CEO’s can churn money on AI…

        Yes, the SS logo is different on both sides (and wrong), the daughter looks exactly like the mom and other tells. Hence my F AI comment (that was down voted).

    I’m all for deporting criminals but once you’re deporting people that are legally here and admitting that you made a mistake then doing nothing to get him back here after a judges order and then saying such person really is a gang member though when you’re just trying to save face is impossible for me to support. I do think we’re still a long way from Nazi Germany, It’s very hard to compare any type of times to Nazi Germany, Unless you’re comparing it to other genocides, And America is not at that point and hopefully it never does get to that point. I will say that it will not get to that point because I have faith in America

    None of them were JUST following orders. They absolutely take pride and pleasure in doing what they do.

    Also you forgot the IDF

    It’s the same in every sector where people are dependent on following orders to eat and house themselves. Health insurance in america isn’t any different. People are forced to be assholes to each other just to feed themselves and it’s a symptom of how business businesses.
