Wow new York building a jail that is taller than the statue of liberty? Talk about heavy handed symbolism
Lmao these are the people shedding crocodile tears over the gulags and here they are casually fantasizing about a gulag the Soviet Union could never come up with
In the Soviet Union the Great Purge lasted less than a year, but we’ve been doing the equivalent for like forty.
And most of it was actually justified. There were a lot of Tsarist sympathizers, nobility, and reactionaries that had to go. Purges in the US are just like…environmentalists saying “Maybe we shouldn’t have lead in the water.”
Soviet Union: suppresses the Orthodox clergy for being complicit in a social arrangement under the tsar that amounted to low grade terrorism for the poor
United States: throws nuns in prison for doing roadblocks to protest nuclear arms
Comparing it to the statue of liberty is peak something.
Someone fly a fucking plane into it before it gets populated please.
I knew wishing for a million 9/11s was justified
When you wish upon a falling star- OH FUCK THATS NOT A FALLING STAR, HEXBEAR HAS HIJACKED AN AIRLINER
The chem trail switches stay on during the final voyage.
Irony is dead to these people
When I said “I would KILL for a cheap place to live downtown,” I didn’t mean it literally
In burgerland they charge you for staying in prison so it’s not even cheap
Biden’s legacy is just going to be the 1994 crime bill, mega prisons and sundowning isn’t it?
That’s unfair, there’s also genocide and war
And making it impossible to discharge student loans in bankruptcy.
hey now, he’s also trying for a nuclear holocaust
When Felix said he was going to be America’s “sin eater” I don’t think he anticipated the amount of sins Biden would be doing on his own on the way out (of life and office)
Hope it gets 9/11’d the day before it’s open to prisoners
Literally my first thought “gawrsh I’d like to see it shelled”
Also this is a much smaller building than the towers. Like, it looks like it’s about maybe twice the size of that section of the Pentagon that got obliterated. A nice, fully fueled wide body jetliner at mach 0.9 would leave nothing standing.
Why his junk shaped like that tho
Infra-materialism, comrade. His balls are filled to the brim with our collective plasm.
Kinda looks like he’s smashing himself in the dick. Heheheh.
I like it.

CBT devices have multiple uses, sometimes they are just regular construction tools.

They hate us because of our freedom.
Americans talk about repressive governments in one breath then brag about the architecture of a skyscraper sized prisons in the next
That’s whataboutism
and in wicked North Korea they jail so many people they need to build skyscraper prisons to house them all.spoiler
Also Judge Dredd too since I’m pretty sure this exact thing happens in the mega city.
Judge Dredd has “isocubes”, though what that actually is varies by artist. I distinctly remember one panel (from the funniest comic: the one where he arrests himself and all his friends for a petty noise violation on Christmas, sentencing them and himself to a weekend in the isocubes) showing a stack of them and they’re like, clear glass boxes with a chair in them.
lmao that plotline sounds awesome. Thanks for reminding me to try and pirate all the Dredd and AD stuff I can find.
I think this was one of the earlier ones, somewhere in between the moon sheriff arc and the one where they travel across the post apocalyptic wasteland that was the US I think? Pretty sure it’s before any part of the big apocalypse war arcs that start with the space voyage arc.
Judge Dredd is a weird and silly setting and it’s very easy to see how it got mashed together with Dune and legally-distinct-from-LotR Warhammer to make Warhammer 40K.
I wish America would build an Arcology!
monkey’s paw curls
They’re building a 100 meter jail because they claim to want to close rikers island, but will do nothing to improve peoples conditions in or outside of jail
100% sure Rikers will be reopened for an adjacent purpose after they “close it down” after opening this monstrosity
didn’t they make a movie about this?
dystopian
