well as i understand it, concentration camps are defined as places you concentrate “undesirables” to get them out of society while you figure out what to do with them long term.

like, definitionally, we’re undeniably already there. the first nazi camps were supposed to be deportation camps too.

problem is no country will actually let you dump people on them like that. the only truly viable long term answer for this kind of plan is to kill them in the end. however, that’s distasteful, so they usual end up staying there until they all starve because at least then no one had to give the order to kill.
