No offense OP, but source please? Random memes of Stalin are not the same as actual statistics and facts.
I'm not a tankie, fuck Stalin, but the stat is correct: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_incarceration_rate
I don't know how well we know China's figures, though.
i also am not a tankie, fuck stalin, and thank you scv for doing my dirty work for me. tbh i didnt realize how bad it was here and i wouldn’t have posted what i thought was a funny little anti-copoganda meme if i had known. sorry yall 🥲
You're welcome! Tankies are idiotic, I don't understand the appeal, they think they're edgy or something.
the United States has the sixth highest incarceration rate in the world, at 531 people per 100,000
That gives 0.5% of America by my math, which would be 0.02% of the world population. I have no idea where the 22% is coming from, it's off by 3 orders of magnitude.
Edit: I missed that it said prison population, I thought it was taking overall population.
Yeah, this is like how North Korea technically has the world's highest literacy rate. These statistics specifically exploit the transparency of western democracy on these issues by just lying about their own statistics. Anyone who doesn't think China has at least 2M people jailed is completely delusional. There's likely more than that in their Xinjiang work camps alone.
National Institute of Corrections: World Prison Population List (2015)
There are more than 10.35 million people incarcerated throughout the world with the most being in the United States--more than 2.2 million.
