    To be fair, the US has had concentration camps for hundreds of years (starting in the 1830s for holding natives)

      Yes. I suppose I should add this: modern-day, “average” Americans have been fed the false narrative of American greatness and equality of opportunity their entire lives. This particular concentration camp flies in the face of that narrative and is living, breathing proof that the USA is a violent, racist country obsessed with the “in group=humans” and “out-group=animals” ideology.

      And the horrors of this camp and a bit of the cognitive dissonance between that false narrative and the reality of what is happening cause nausea.
