Meanwhile, the USA was and remains the country with the highest incarceration rate per 100k citizens: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_incarceration_rate
🤣
not in/from usa but ok
I wasn’t referencing you, I was referencing the USA flag and continental US outline in the meme you posted.
The gulag system in America is so fucking horrifying and crazy. Anyone who thinks this is a free country is drastically removed from reality.

I call it that for several reasons.
- What constitutes a crime is often, and increasingly, political.
- What pushes/forces people into crime is almost entirely political.
- The for-profit prison industrial complex and the slave labor it provides are DEEPLY bound up in politics.
- The for-profit (gulag) prison system here in the states is bigger, crueler and even less necessary than the one I was told in school was SO scary and such a crime against humanity.
- Calling it a gulag system draws attention to the intentional cruelty that plagues this country, and (I hope) helps people consider that better methods are not only possible, they actually exist and work.
