dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Largest imprisoned population

It cannot be stressed enough that this figure is NOT PER CAPITA. The US has the largest total number of prisoners of any nation on earth. It's fucking obscene the scale of the US prison system. Unimaginably worse than the worst depictions of the soviet gulag system.

The DoJ Archipelago

And the numbers look even worse when you compare women prison populations.

So much for those people caring for women's oppression.
