    Neither have had for-profit prisons with systematised sexual torture, but even if they did I'd lean into the recency bias and ask: if they could move past it, why did the US double down when faced with better alternatives?

    wait you think east india wasnt about profit and had no sexual abuse?

    they didn’t ‘move past it’

    the British got fucked militarily and aztec society collapsed

    we’re on schedule for either end atm

    the us isnt gonna stop doing any of this before them either

    rich abusive fucks wont stop because you protest peacefully or virtue signal on the interwebs
