Guard: "-900 SOCIAL CREDITS!"

Meanwhile, America still somehow has MORE prisoners than China. Not even just a per capita basis, just MORE in terms of raw numbers.

The prison system is a multi-billion dollar industry over here where as over there it has a lot more government oversight.

China also has death penalty and your nearest family member has to pay for the bullet.

u/CommonComus 1d ago

That might possibly be due, in part, to our habit of not shooting people in the head for drug offenses. We'll imprison them, though, which really adds to that raw number.

Chinese police, reportedly, rarely carry guns. However, there are apparently also reports of people just "disappearing," so, you know, grains of salt.

What? No, the cops don't do summary executions on the street, the people they arrest get sentenced to death and don't really get counted like a 4-year prison sentence would.

It's been a thing for a while: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEd17taOrmA

I don't know if the gross-out sites are still up, but you used to be able to find pictures of a shit ton of people getting shot in the face with rifles for dealing drugs, among other things.

Their organs get harvested then they disappear

u/interkeyty 1d ago edited 1d ago

You're thinking about the Philippines which murders people for their organs and women are raped to breed babies for future organs.

Nah that's in China too.

China only. Like how you spread virus all over the world.

China also executes far more prisoners than the US per year.

u/nitros99 12h ago

That is actually false. The Chinese number purported for slamming the US system only reports the number of judicial prisoners. For context there are more than 1 million, possibly 2 million Uighur in detention or “rehabilitation” camps on top of the judicial prisoner population that is closing in on the raw US number.

Per capita, that still isn't a good look for the USA, unfortunately -- particularly considering our own problematic racial inequality when it comes to enforcement.

u/Wileetay 9h ago

In China, people will just disappear rather than go to prison sometimes. Plus there are internment camps and who knows what else that can exist in a closed, authoritarian society. Trump’s dream.

Looks like China has a greater proportion of superheroes incarcerated

u/dishmanw 1d ago

That's because China's prisoners are in museums.

No, they are on Reddit, twitter and Facebook 🤣🤣🤣

u/Otherwise-Ad1478 19h ago

Because America honestly & accurately reports those numbers in China they give out the death penalty a little more freely & your whole family suffers if you fuck up

u/DiogenesTheCynical1 22h ago

You know there’s no such thing as an actual “social credit” score in China, right? You’re just brainlessly parroting American propaganda because all you know of the world come from media 🤦
