The "land of the free" has a greater percentage of its population in prison than any other country, EVER.

@Floyd really wierd to equate having a large prison population with stalin's gulags. It is impossible to know exactly how many people were murdered by Stalin as reliable records of Stalin's victims are difficult to access. Estimates of the number of people murdered by Stalin range from a few million up to around 20 million, including those killed in the Gulag forced labor camps and those executed by Stalin's security forces. At the end of 2019, it was estimated that there were around 2.3 million people in U.S. prisons, both federal and state. This is the highest incarceration rate in the world. So it turns out your "anti-american" meme is actually appologist to stalin by a factor of 10 murders to 1 incarceration

@Floyd in fact stalin murdered twice as many people then as there are in all the world's prisons today. let's play a game called dont downplay russian genocide until we return the 3 million ukrainian hostages , then we can go back to minimizing these crimes

@Floyd

Yes, and its been that way since I was in grad school. What's your plan to do anything about it?
