The meme is pretty unclear tho. Ig you use the gulags and the ussr as a general point of evil and compare other evil(the us) to it?
why do people bring up other countries when USA is criticized, just admit you’re in a shithole country
Because tankies love tu-quoque-arguments. That way they don’t have to put all states in question
Because, you know, Soviet union (other country) in post himself
i’m saYING lmao.
Yes those prisoners sadly still have rights and we can’t mulch them up to enrich our soil or anything.
Here’s a fun article on Survivorship Bias
I’m sad OP never experienced gulag themselves.
For profit prisons need to be abolished. But any downplaying of the horrendous gulags is just despicable https://youtu.be/dBjcT0QxSS0?si=jIvtvNe6j7lUiFxy
For profit prisons are a problem, but they only represent 8% of the prison population in the US. They only tell part of the story.
lol hexbear is leaking again
I have a full instance block and it still isn’t enough. Every day more braindead tankie takes make it through the filter.
“everything the USSR/CCP/DPRK did wrong is actually capitalist state intelligence propaganda” is so exhausting.
“Capitalism is bad” apparently no longer includes state capitalism or the political capital exploitation of the vanguard class that preceeds it.
ive yet to see anything other than reactionary posting from hb
What is this, Facebook forwards from babushka?
When your gulag population has 50% death rate within a year thats not hard…
We also aren’t counting people in China’s concentration camps because they aren’t officially prisoners and there aren’t any real numbers…
But the justice system in USA is shit yes.
This comment is excellent.
If your average prison sentence is 10 years, you will have 10x more prisoners than annual arrests/sentences.
It’s the same kind of misleading stat as life expectancy being 30 years in medieval time. If you survived childhood you could easily reach your 60s or later, just like how you can live that long without any serious health interventions today.
So a 10 year prison sentence isn’t 10 times worse than a one-year sentence? You think 3 people in prison for a month each is worse than two people with a year each?
it’s not a misleading stat it’s a stat with nuance. slavery in the U.S. is legal per the 13th amendment, as are for-profit prisons.
this fiscal motive leads to more sentences for smaller crimes (marijuana possession) for longer times, and it’s obscene.
