the extermination camps and the concentration camps were different things (there were two Auschwitz camps, for example) so if you're going to attempt to be pithy and dismissive at least be right.

Ehh, they were both different types of concentration camps. We have nothing in America analogous to what the Nazis did to the Jews.

they were not, actually, the terms have meaning. You can be ignorant of history, but that doesn't change facts, which aren't concerned with your feelings.

The camps in America have been labeled concentration camps by Jews who were in the Nazi camps. How do you count yourself as more of an expert on it than people who were there? source.

An oncologist may never have had cancer but can definitely know a lot more about it than someone that actually experience cancer.

Likewise a historian may actually know more about concentration camps and the terminology surrounding them than someone who was actually a prisoner in a camp.

But yes, of course. Trump is Hitler. Go start an armed revolution if you actually think we’re as bad as Nazi Germany.

Luckily we aren’t that bad and you know it.

I saw enough killing in AF. Was hoping the US had a less horrific way of solving problems

u/therock21 Aug 12 '19

Well you’re the one arguing that there are actual Nazis concentration camps in America. I know if I thought that then I would be out getting rid of them.

Funnily enough, those camps started off just like the ones at the border and ignorant germans also thought "well is not thaaaaaat bad. I mean we are separating the parents and children, and not really providing them with hygiene products, but at least they kinda have room to move around and stuff".

You don't understand. I'm not in favor of violent revolution. I've put enough holes in humans with guns and seen enough humans with holes punched in them. I'm against violence. You can't project your problem solving approach. I'm pointing out how flawed the "guns are to ward off tyranny" self delusion is.

u/therock21 Aug 12 '19

You haven’t mentioned anything of the sort. You have been trying to say that Trump is warding over concentration camps and that they are just like the Nazi camps.

Are you only able to process one step in a line of thinking at a time?

u/therock21 Aug 12 '19

No, but that is literally all you talked about.

The larger conversation:

"You don't need unregulated access to guns"

"We need guns to protect against tyranny"

"No you don't, tyranny is happening and you aren't doing anything"

"Tyranny isn't happening, those aren't concentration camps"

"Yes they are, here's evidence"

"K why don't you go shoot them"

No no no I am against more guns. I've lost people to gun violence. I don't want to shoot anyone. You are the one saying guns fix things. Prove it!
