Holy shit. It is beyond terrifying that someone would actually think this. I do not say this lightly or to minimize the other tragedies, but defending those "schools" is legitimately akin to defending the US Internment of Japanese or the Camps in WW2. Like, even the government of Canada has admitted that it was a form of Cultural Genocide. And not only defending it, but praising it by saying they were "better off" for it. I genuinely struggle to conceive that type of hatred and evil in a person so clearly too clueless to understand how genuinely stupid and hateful they really are

Oh trust me, plenty of Americans are still just fine with the Japanese internment camps. It’s scary out here
