>American prison slaves had to actually commit a crime to go to jail

America has 5 times as many prisoners per capita as the rest of the world. We have more prisoners than China and they have a billion more people than us. So 1 of 2 things must be true:

  1. Americans are genetically different from the rest of the world and commit crime 5x as often as everyone else

or

  1. America wrongly imprisons 5x as many people as everyone else.

You are changing the subject. Legally Convicted people, are completely different from the other examples.

And what the Chinese are doing is quite legal there too. It's almost like something being legal has absolutely no bearing on whether it's right or wrong at all.

You are missing the point. Knocking down doors to steal people and committing a neoHolocaust and actually arresting and convicting criminals are two completely separate things. Nice try komerade.

Arresting and convicting people who have done nothing wrong because you wrote a law to declare them criminals isn't really as different as you think it is.

I didn’t write the laws sweetheart, that’s not how a Democratic Republic works.
