It was meant as a sincere question with a cynical undertone. Dumping “unwanteds” is obviously horrible, but I understood part of the definition of concentration camp to be a place where people of disrepute with the authoritarians in power are interred for various hideous purposes. Not a place where people are deported to, and are then free to leave (except in the direction they were just brought from).

I mean, technically, they aren’t concentration camps because as far as I understand those are just places to dump the caught and deported unwanted people. They aren’t being kept there forcefully, no?
