@matrix 5 minutes in and he admits that the prison system is not about rehabilitation because it "simply doesn't work" even tho across the ocean it works absolute wonders in lowering the crime rates. this individual is very much aware of the prison system being a legal and easy way of enslaving people to do labour which creates capital for whoever is manufacturing prison goods. the prison system works, for capitalists.

@tsumi because it never was and he addresses your point about other countries at the end.

@matrix I don't need to continue watching he's already wrong about what prisons should do and about the effectiveness of acting as a deterrent objectively. not even a discussion at this point.

@tsumi
I do not know where this idea comes from but the primary purpose of prison has always been incapacitation, then a deterrent and the small amount of rehabilitation that might happen was just a bonus.

@matrix it does all things horribly which is why the crime rate of the US sucks.

@tsumi Crime rate is going down, which you would know if you watched the video.

@matrix except it isn't because incapacitation only temporarily brings down crime rates until a new generation of dysfunctional people caused by the lack of adressing of core issues arises which may or may not be even more efficient in doing crimes since they learn from the past especially if their relative is in prison.

@tsumi
It's been consistently going down in for the last 30 years, that's plenty of time for the criminals to have kids and the kids to reach an age at which they are the mostlikely to commit crimes

@tsumi @matrix Don't let serious criminals reproduce and pass on their criminal tendencies to the next generation, simple. Low intelligence and poor impulse control are what create criminals, not underfunded preschools or whatever other bullshit leftists bitch about.
@ArdanianRight @matrix I felt my frontal lobe shrinking as I read this. anyways if you wanna apply unethical eugenics how about taking yourself out first? pretty sure your iq is below average
@tsumi @matrix I'm just saying what the root causes actually are and how to solve them. You can debate ethics all you like. (My IQ is well above average if you really want to know)
@ArdanianRight @matrix did an internet test tell you that by any chance? you're not addressing jackshit with your esoteric construct of a delusion about the "root causes". you're just another brainwashed nazi that thinks they've found the truth in whatever fits their narrow minded perspective about the world and it's complex issues. either ways take yourself out.
@tsumi @matrix Lolno. I've had actual IQ tests. What lowers crime rates isn't touchy-feely social programs, it's removing those genetically predisposed to crime from society.
@ArdanianRight @matrix ye ye blah blah blah nazi shit. whatever you deluded yourself to be the truth little buddy.
@tsumi @matrix Genetics exists and has a strong influence on all personality traits. The Soviets had 70+ years of nurture to engineer a New Soviet Man. Didn't work.
@ArdanianRight @matrix genetics only dictate a predisposition not a manifestation of behavioral traits. you'd know this if you knew what you were talking about. people may have a predisposition for certain behavioral patterns but nurture mitigates or even completely denies the outbreak of them.
@tsumi @matrix In pretty much every single study of adopted children, their life outcomes are more similar to:
@tsumi @matrix If nurture were as or more powerful than nature we'd see it pop up at least some of the time. Maybe if we're talking about growing up in a first world vs. third world country environmental differences there would be more of a point, but you don't really see it show up when it comes to gaps within first world countries.
