Nah. They were popping up all over the colonized world towards the end of the 19th century, not just South Africa. That wasn't the question. *sigh* The answer implies that he could have gotten the idea from any number of situations, not necessarily South Africa. That needed explained to you?

Didn't Hitler get his idea for concentration camps from the Brits...who used them first against the Boers and their African slaves??? We tend to get mentioned as the first and for some reason nobody has stepped forward to claim this achievement. Hopefully we treated our civilian captives a little bit better than the Germans did.

That wasn't the question. And the answer is yes, indeedy. The question was did Hitler get his concentration camp idea from what the Brits did to the Boers, not if the Boer camps were the first. I don't know where Hitler got his idea from.

You said "Nah", not "Could have come from other places". But you just said I didn't answer the question. If you're going to start pedantic shit, at least have a path in mind.

You...literally just asserted I'd answered the question with "nah" after saying I didn't answer the question...lol Still angry because I pointed out you only had an argument by ignoring pretty much all the facts? Lol

Lol You didn't answer it, you just blurted something out that wasn't even backed up by the claims you made. lol First I didn't. Then I did. Now I didn't again. What claim did I make other than concentration camps became a thing in the late 19th century? Do you doubt that assertion? Then look it up. Seeing as how you have no idea what you want to be arguing, I'm not going to bother linking history for you...lol

The land grabs, concentration camps, indigenous reservations, slave plantations, and killing fields were carried out in the name Old, Unwoke Western Morality. Andersonville CSA POW camp. This was the worst one among many. Seems like when we cannot kill the Others, we kill ourselves. Why is the West so proud this history?

White people controlled almost every corner of the globe and then decided that that was not enough so they decided to start fighting and killing one another using the most horrific and destructive weapons available at the time.
