lmao pointing out that the US has more people imprisoned than the USSR is not a mossad psyop

I am glad that people like you get banned

    That was not the comment I was banned for, and you know it.

    80% of that figure weren't imprisoned, they were on probation! Clearly misinformation when you look at the facts... that upsets Stalinists.

    Have a sense of humor!

    Its awesome how these people can just make up bullshit and never get punished on their instance.
    I suppose thats a universal issue, but its still egregious.

    The only insult is your support of Putin and Stalin.

    So we're in agreement that one should not be banned for expressing a negative opinion of the USSR?

    there's plenty of criticism of the USSR, Stalin, Putin in these spaces.

    people who are lazily ragebaiting and accusing people of being mossad for criticism of the US prison-industrial complex do get banned though

    Criticism of the USSR, Stalin, and Putin is deleted in ml instances. My deletion history proves it.

    The representation was inaccurate, as 80% of the 1996 US figure quoted were on probation, not incarcerated.

    It's not lazy ragebaiting to verify facts, is it?

    And since you're such an expert, which Lemmy user in particular, was insulted? Why is the mere assertion that one works on behalf of an intelligence service considered an insult by a disinterested observer?

    ... you realize parole is still part of the carceral state right

    Probation is distinct from parole in the US legal system. Shall I provide you with a source to clarify the difference?

    typo on my part, the point is the same. both are still parts of the carceral state.

    that the US has got better at managing more people through its carceral system with less visible imprisonment is not the flex that you think it is

    Criticism of the US prison system is warranted but we must ensure that it is accurate, no?

    It's strange to me that you think I'm flexing. Aren't we essentially arguing the same thing: that all humans have the right to live in decency?
