Somehow still continually trippy to remember that the United States isn't just a fascist country in a "truly none of us are free under capitalism" type of way (just like us fr) or a "the horrors inflicted upon the world by western imperialism are unending" type of way (just like us fr), but ALSO in a "their incarceration rate is higher than North Korea's" type of way (I knew it was bad, but wtf lol).

#wikipedia leaves off nk's incarceration rate #but the U.S. State Department human rights report for 2016 puts the prison population between 80000 and 120000 #and google says the total population would have been 25.39 million in 2016 #which like #if I didn't fuck up the math #that's fewer per 100000 than in the united states
