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.
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.
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?
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.
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

Market socialism is good. Syndicalism is good. Pretty much every form of socialism that starts without “maybe we should build a dictatorship, what’s the worst that could happen” is going to be better than capitalism.

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?
based mods
LOL. the myth. like gulag or uigur camps easily exceed those numbers.
Hmm, i wonder which race dominates the us prison population? Were they also in the Soviet union?
