@animeirl again, you see crime and/or social instability which causes economic inequality which can compound into a civil war

@animeirl @kallisti US imprisons more people per capita than any society in human history because it has more criminals per capita than any society in human history and has the resources to lock them up and in the past actively tried to do so.
The primary purpose of prisons is to keep criminals away from society and by that stop them from causing more crime. Everything else is a bonus.

@animeirl If that was the case, you would see it across populations, locations and history and you would see increase in crime during economic recession and decrease during economic upturn, but you don't see it.
However, what you always see is increase in poverty due to increase in lawlessness.

You have a 2 people. Both make $80 a day. Both buy the same items daily. Person A pays $20, person B pays $30 for them. Person A has item/cash stolen every 720 days, person B does every 60 days. Everything else is the same. After 10 years, who is poorer?

@matrix

Don't insult third world by comparing us to *merica.

@animeirl Except US has one of the most richest poor people.
Poverty doesn't cause crime, but crime does cause poverty.
And if it was selfishness and narcissism, just letting them do it isn't going to help anything.

@PapaPole @badmedicaltakes I understand what you meant. The retarded part is you described it "to be whores"

Shoutout to my dad's windows 11 pc for having all the install instructions being white text on a white background and having the 'accessibility options' grayed out the whole time so we can't even turn on high contrast mode
