Notice how I don’t make vague notions towards “wikipedia” but instead direct you to the basis of my understanding of the world. Also notice how this basis isn’t a faulty online service with direct ties to the US state department and a long history of right-wing infiltration and power-user squabbles. I would put in the effort of adding the links I usually add if I thought you’d actually read them.
I made an epub of this soviet world, check https://comlib.encryptionin.space/ if you are interested. There is also an epub of Blackshirts and reds, but I didn’t make that one.
You techbros always have all the energy for ‘gulags’ but then sit on your hands about the SLAVE PENS the Department of Corrections call prisons. This is a bad-faith position from origin just based off that.
Yes it is; and it’s frankly kinda weird as fuck to me that you know more about a western-mythologized concept than you do actual existent 21st century slave pens masquerading as prisons. You talk so much unverified shit about gulags, but don’t have the time to even research one of the last bastions of slavery in your actual time period?
I know you intended to use this question as that smug redditor gotcha like “hah, I’m not even Amerikan” but that one question implies that you know more unverified, most-primary-sources-were-bullshit cruft about your conception of gulags than one of the largest examples of chattel slavery masquerading as ‘rehabilitation’ in your actual fucking lifetime; and honestly, it only disgusts me that much fuckin more
Maybe stop digging yourself deeper if you’re already up to your ears in it
Placeholder: I made a comment about who was killed in gulags, it was removed.
Also yeah, nazis got killed in gulags.

That was you! I appreciate your work so very much! I hadn’t bookmarked it and couldn’t find it

Is the department of corrections a us thing?

Slavery being legal is also a us thing. The 13th amendment didn’t outlaw slavery
Several US prisons are just old cotton plantations, like the farm
Soviet gulags had a higher survival rate in 1956 than the US prison system has today.
