It's disingenuous to compare prisons with internment camps.

It's disingenuous to compare prisons with internment camps.
This doesn't really mean much when those laws include "you're not allowed to expose crimes by government" not to mention drug laws and copyright. At the end it's not any less arbitrary than whatever excuses the chinese government uses to intern those they don't like.
The laws are known a priori.
There are also no laws against exposing crimes by the government. You’re just not allowed to break other laws just because you’re doing so.
People very frequently successfully expose corruption and abuse by governments in the US. It just doesn’t make significant news unless it’s a major national politician, and that happens multiple times a year.
An interesting fact, though perhaps completely irrelevant since people were sent to the gulags for completely different reasons.
Fun fact. There are more people in the US education system than there ever were in Soviet gulags.
Just as irrelevant.
No, you get sent to internment camps because you’re a prisoner of war or because of some basic property of your being.
The comparison would be the Japanese internment camps the US had in WW2.
There is nothing like that today where citizens are being locked up without breaking any laws.
Why?
