To be fair, we have no idea how many COVID infections or deaths China had or how many prisoners they have. It isn't like they are the most transparent with either matter.
Everything else he said checks out. 🇺🇲
We have 2 million prisoners for 330 million people.
They claim 1.6 million prisoners for their 1.4 billion people.
Even if it were double what China claims, per capita we keep far more of our people in bondage, because we found and disgustingly prioritize the private profit in it. More prisoners for private for profit prisons, and more slave labor leased out to for profit corporations.
We put people in cages using any excuse to increase quarterly earnings expectations for our sociopath class. "Land of the free," Lo fucking L.
It's "Land of the fee"
We've been saying it wrong the whole time.
Would you like to buy the R? That will be one soul please
All the R have been bought and paid for. So have most of the D, for that matter.
"Lan_ of the f_ee"
Oh... Oh! That makes sense.
It would be flatly unsurprising if china had well over double what they claim.
At this point I trust their government and our government equally.
As an American, I would take the word of any single European union member nation over the word of both China and the US claiming anything in unison.
Orbán likes this post.
The fucks in the republic party literally invited Orbán to have a speech and how to get shit done, US is not even first at effectively controlling state media and politicians bleeding it's country dry
Sometimes I forget that Hungary is part of the EU. And that Hungary and Turkey are part of NATO. It's the kind of thing I don't like remembering.
At least China has the guts to call out the West for supporting the genocide in Gaza, something out own Democratic party seems wholly incapable of.
It is easy calling out genocides from other nations.
Call me when they talk about their own genocides.
The number of imprisoned is the point he made, not the per capita.
Yeah, everyone knows the US has more people per capita
They had robots spraying disinfectant on streets. They would test and barricade people in homes who were positive. They would also feed them though. Whole city quarantines. They did not fuck around on Covid. It's reasonable that not fucking around achieved a low death rate. It shows how much richer they really are compared to west in being able to afford such measures.
Who told you that the US government?
