That doesn’t really factor the fact that most of the world still have the death penalty, cops you can bride, or poor law enforcement.

You may argue that some US states have the death penalty as well but it’s so bureaucratic and slow hardly anyone ever gets executed in the states where it is legal.

Also I’d take a prison sentence in the US over being stoned to death in Saudi Arabia, especially considering the fact that adultery is punishable by death, and that includes women who get raped since apparently that counts as adultery.

Uganda just made being gay punishable by death, but hey, at least they have a low incarceration rate.

Also China has the highest incarceration rate in the world considering the whole country is a prison.

The US my have a high incarceration rate compared to the rest of the world but the rest of the world kinda sucks at criminal justice.

The USA sucks at criminal justice.

Your comparison to awful countries proves my point. The United States is the worst among western nations. When your using Saudi Arabia and China as your starting metric for human rights, that’s a fucking low bar.

I am not going to get in the gutter about what country sucks most, I am just saying that the USA is a glass house on human rights both domestic and abroad. But yeah, better than China, low bar.

Do better

You’re the one who started the whataboutism by responding to my criticism of China’s concentration camps with incarceration statistics.

“better then China, low bar”

That was literally my original point.

Me: China has concentration camps.

Them: responds with link to incarceration stats
