      I’m sure he hasn’t got a clue how many Chinese there are, or where China is.
      All that matters is China bad, commie bad

      Per capita is misleading, it over represents low populations and under represents high populations

      When you use it, it makes Canadian cities appear more violent than American cities as an example

        Per Capita shows that China has a lower total prison population than a country much smaller than it in population. Both per capita and total counts are lower in the PRC despute having several times the population.

              What’s your point, here? Marxists are bad because China has a higher population, meaning per capita comparisons are more accurate when directly comparing with the US?

                  You complained about Marxists, calling them “tankies,” same as “commie” or “pinko.” Further, I don’t agree that China is bad, as we can see it has a much lower prison population both in total and by ratio when compared to the US Empire.

                  I’m personally not planning on living in China, but I wouldn’t be opposed at all. Moving is expensive, learning a new language is difficult, and I’d be leaving my extended family and friends behind, but on the plus side I’d get to live in a much better country that is consistently and constantly improving, rather than a dying Empire crumbling under its own contradictions.

                  Why do you hate Marxism so much?

              Blue MAGA denying facts, literally the actual numbers and think that we just “feel’ it’s true” are pretty much the same as MAGA.

        And yet, the USA still the 5th highest in incarceration numbers and the highest in absolute numbers.

        I’d say that tells you enough
