    Once again there is absolutely no consideration amongst western “leftists” like @Yuzzy as to what conditions lead to this illusory “freedom” in the US and exactly what consequences the third world has had to experience in order for the US to secure this fake form of freedom.

    It’s just liberalism with a social program veneer

    Idk where you mean by here, but I'll take lesser statistics if I can be assured the state won't imprison or starve me

    You know I don't consider China socialist but they've made more progress on food insecurity and living conditions in general than pretty much any other country in the past 40 years and they have an incarceration rate several times lower than the US and only slightly higher than Canada, so these aren't exactly great points to criticize them on lol

    The US has an incarceration rate 4 times higher than China. Also China’s been making so much more progress in solving existent food insecurity than the US

    The US imprisons people at too high a rate. China imprisons people without justification. Both are true and bad

    Never had any state ever randomly imprisoned people. Even the most deranged states like Kampuchea and Nazi Germany at least painted justification upon their victims

    And if China’s incarceration rate is below the global average (119 vs 165) then they definitely aren’t ones to be judged on the basis of that s***

    France has a the same rate of incarceration as China
