    You're deflecting.

    I said that describing the camps as punishment camps was a true statement.

    You said that the statement was false because they were also death camps.

    I explained that death was one punishment Jews were forced to endure. Therefore, the description was accurate.

    Whether the Jews deserved to be punished has no bearing on the description, and no one is making that argument - or comparing legal systems. To describe the camps as "punishment camps" in no way discounts what the Jews experienced; and is, in fact, more severe than the term "concentration".





    No, because the US government is not an evil entity, a force against humanity.
    Ask a Native American about that.. or the citizenry of any number of South American nations.

    To apply descriptors such as "good" and "evil" to entire governments is fundamentally immature and almost always indefensible when taken apart. Governments, by nature, are amoral constructs. The US government and the Nazi government were alike in that they were both concerned first and foremost with furthering their own interests.

    "Evil" is more appropriately used to describe individuals, and there were many Nazis that would fit that description. No one thinks otherwise.




    The Nazis were an abomination, and I hate them.
    Good to know, but don't let your emotions cloud your ability to come to logical conclusions.
