Haha my dude you are comparing gulags to prison in the USA?
LMAO 🤣 i don't want to say Lemmy is disconnected from reality but this kind of posts and the ones blaming Latin Americans and minorities for the election lost just makes everyone here look unhinged
Would you like more information on the guy who died from bedbug bites without being charged or the forced labor or the heat strokes or the murders? What's specifically not comparable?
Would you like more information of the Soviet gulag system? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulag
An estimated 1.6 MILLION people died in detention. And that's not even considering that most of the people imprisoned were just enemies of the Soviet/Russian state.
How much God damn Russian propaganda are you consuming to consider these things even remotely close? The US prison system is a disgrace, but these are not even remotely comparable.
Shit fuck goddamn bitch ass hell piss your mother cunt fuck ass shit
I mean, none that I’m aware of. You?
LOL you are literally posting Russian propaganda and you are pretending you're unaware... Or maybe you really are too dumb to tell. Pretty pathetic either way.
How long you been in the FOP?
The old USSR gulags are more like Guantanamo if anything. Today's Russian prisons correspond to today's US prisons pretty much.
