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

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.
