Welding doors of apartments where a few people test positive for COVID? Housing a male of the ethnic majority in a minority family and forcing the minority women to sleep with the men while their husbands are in Concentrtion camps? Organ harvesting of political prisoners?
I don't think the US does "privatized" versions of these things.
- hotpotamus 3y agoThe US is much better about repression of ethnic minorities than it used to be (one of the founding fathers literally fathered slave children as an example of that particular hypocrisy), but it certainly still exists. I did not say that every feature of society is perfectly replicated, nor have I studied both of them well enough to know if they are perfectly analogous. I'm sure some societies showcase their own idiosyncratic injustices. For instance, I'm not aware of for-profit prisons in China.
