Why do German and Russian concentration camps get so much attention and focus compared to American concentration camps?
>>18470843If anything the American camps get too much attention. It is a fact that crash-landed Japanese pilots during Pearl Harbor received help and assistance from Japanese-"Americans"
>>18470843I actually met a Japanese guy in California who was in an internment camp and he didn't really hold any feelings of resentment towards the US.
>>18470856It doesn’t get enough focus. It’s pretty analogous to the Holocaust, especially for the Jewish-Germans that fought in WW1 only to come home and be thrown in a gas chamber a few decades later.
>>18470863It's not because those people weren't getting murdered in millions, it was a product of racism but the intent and scale is not comparable to the Holocaust
>>18470858my neighbors growing up were an elderly japanese couple who met in a camp
>>18470843Wartime measure that was a reaction to America being attacked. If America had never been attacked, chances are this wouldn't have ever happened.
>>18470876That’s because Americans were by and large disconnected from the war unlike Germans or Russians. It took an act of attacking a military site to start rounding up anybody with jap or german ancestry can you imagine if they were bombing New York.
>>18470895I could see this happening (then prehaps not, Americans didn't really believe that Japanese were a part of a big conspiracy that was responsible for all that's bad) but we will never get to know, thus we can't say that it was the same as Holocaust based on "what if" because one thing happend and the other did not
>>18470843Because they didn't kill nearly as many people.
>>18470843The US government confiscated their businesses, homes and assets and never returned any of it.
>>18470843Because pretty much no Japanese people died in the camps.
>>18470989they did not, the local states did, your gripe should be with California not the feds
>>18470901>>18470863>>18470876>muh murderDo we actually have accurate data on people who died from being directly killed vs died from the conditions of war such as poor disease, malnutrition, starvation, collateral damage?>they had a plot to murder all of them and thats why White people cant existplease, put the autism aside.The Nazis, even if they planned on murdering everyone, this is not enough to convict them for the deaths of those who have died from collateral damage.>all war deaths can be assigned to the "belligerent"No they can not.take Germany as a country out of it.Lets deal with people, Germany is an abstraction, people are real individuals.How many individuals actually ordered and carried out murder to the tune of millions vs how many people died from the circumstances of war?
>>18471234germutts are vile animals who loves to murder civilains, that's why PoleGods stopped them
>>18471234>people who died from being directly killed vs died from the conditions of war such as poor disease, malnutrition, starvation, collateral damage?If you corral people into camps and ghettoes and they start dying like flies, it's still murder and it's still a war crime. International law was always clear on this. You may do it in a crude improvised way like the Brits in South Africa, in an industrialised large-scale way like the Germans in Poland, or in a calculated, limited way like the Indonesians in East Timor. The crime itself doesn't change and you don't get to blame "the circumstances".
>>18470863IT really wasn't. The Americans naturally WASPified all Japanese properties left unattended, but they also didn't seem to have brutalized the interned or engineered circumstances that would've triggered a great dying off inside of them. Like current ICE camps seem objectively worse.
>>18470843Japanese-Americans experienced a net population gain during internment compared to the Jews who experienced a ~30-95% population drop (depending on their country of origin) in Nazi concentration camps and the various Soviet minorities who not only experienced a 30-50% population drop in Zigger concentration camps, but essentially permanently exiled to the Soviet interior (hence why there's a huge Ukrainian diaspora in Kazakhstan for instance).
>>18470843Nazi concentration camps and Gulags were way cooler, simple as.I mean, if you think about WWII and the Soviet era in Warhammer 40K terms of a grimdark historical epic, the Nazi and Soviet camps both have this cool factor to them that their closest American counterparts are completely devoid of.>Nazi concentration camps - A vast network of massive death factories that refined the art of industrialized human slaughter to a literal science, the macabre marriage of Ford's assembly line and the darkest of human impulses.>Soviet GULAG system - A vast network of plantations erected in the vast and unforgiving Russian Far East, the dark culmination of the Stalinist project of spreading Soviet "civilization" to the Siberian frontier (at the expense of both the indigenous and the environment), the perfect embodiment of the irony that the "Workers' Paradise" was built on the cruelest slavery imaginableJapanese-American internment camps seem like a cheap knockoff by comparison. A pathetically half-hearted attemptg by a liberal democracy to emulate the evil that totalitarian societies had perfected.
>>18470843How many people died in America camps from being slaughtered compared to German camps? That's why.
I like how we get to call the American concentration camps "internment" camps instead.Also, as a Canadian, I'd like to mention that we also interned our Japanese during WWII, and we didn't fully end internment until 1949.
>>18470843I live near Woodland, where is this I wanna go
Lol imagine they let white guys into the Japanese interment camps. So much WMAF breeding..
>>18471234This is why nobody wants to be a nazi btw.
