In bad country,
- Who is that? I've seen here around in memes
  
  That's Yeonmi Park, a sort of Korean Candace Owens who went on Rogan to talk about how supposedly, in cursed North Korea, they:
  -Have never heard of ice cream
  -Must push the trains by hand
  -Subsist on rats, who subsist on corpses, in an endless cycle of rat-human consumption
  -Have no word for love
  These are not exaggerations, and I'm definitely forgetting some other bangers as well. In leftist circles, she's kind of become a joke about all the "In Scary Badcountry, (insert cartoonish bullshit here)" propaganda that we all grow up hearing.
How about we just don't execute people, even if we know they did it. Life in prison sucks harder.
USA is one of the few barbaric countries left. Bad public education, too many police officers with near to no training, high poverty. This is how you increase crime.
This is how people get radicalized.
Then again, at least in the states in question, that’s probably part of the intent. Doing authoritarian shit in the name of “safety” is way easier when you have a bogeyman, regardless of whether or not you yourself had a pivotal role in the creation of said bogeyman.
