Heck, look at the USA. They already have Concentration Camps for immigrants and those requesting asylum, where they separate parents from children, treat them like inhuman scum, keep them incarcerated in cruel conditions for as long as they like without basic rights.

They call it something different to whitewash it, Detention Centres or such, but they're camps in which they concentrate and persecute these undesirables.

Clearly not exactly the same as the camps of organised death we associate most readily with the concept, but still following the same evil fascist playbook nonetheless.

Heck, look at the many horrible concentration camps the USA ran to round up innocent people of Japanese decent during WWII, families, children... A despicable act of racism hidden under the thin guise of protecting the nation (modern Detention Centres, anyone?). You can ask George Takei what his opinion of those camps is. He was forced into one as a child.

I'm sure it happens all over the place, in many different ways, in many countries. Back to the USA for a moment for example, their entire prison system is a for-profit slave labour money-making enterprise, in which the system is incentivised to lock up as many people as possible (especially racial undesirables), keep them locked up, and ensure that those who do manage to leave are as likely as possible to fall victim of the system and return to prison, so that they can be kept as slaves.

And wouldn't you know it, the USA is the 6th most incarcerated country in the world per capita, rubbing shoulders not with other modern western nations, but with Cuba, Turkmenistan, and Rwanda. What a coincidence.

So yes, lots of very evil stuff happens in our nations under our noses (not just the USA by any means, they just stand out because they pretend to be the biggest beacon of all that is good and right in the world).

None of which is a big secret either (the state just won't teach it in schools or call attention to it), but even though the information is out there, enough of us are apathetic to it all that nothing is done about it 😟

(Note: I didn't really touch upon the deep rooted racism that runs though the US legal system, but it's very prevalent, and understandably difficult to separate from the topic of modern slavery in the US prison system, as these links will attest.)
