Wow new York building a jail that is taller than the statue of liberty? Talk about heavy handed symbolism

[-] trumpetnoises@hexbear.net 20 points 10 hours ago

didn't they make a movie about this?

[-] Josephine_Spiro@hexbear.net 22 points 11 hours ago

They're building a 100 meter jail because they claim to want to close rikers island, but will do nothing to improve peoples conditions in or outside of jail

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 15 points 9 hours ago

100% sure Rikers will be reopened for an adjacent purpose after they "close it down" after opening this monstrosity

[-] DickFuckarelli@hexbear.net 30 points 12 hours ago

They hate us because of our freedom.

[-] iByteABit@hexbear.net 55 points 14 hours ago

Lmao these are the people shedding crocodile tears over the gulags and here they are casually fantasizing about a gulag the Soviet Union could never come up with

[-] TheDrink@hexbear.net 42 points 13 hours ago

In the Soviet Union the Great Purge lasted less than a year, but we've been doing the equivalent for like forty.

[-] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 20 points 10 hours ago

And most of it was actually justified. There were a lot of Tsarist sympathizers, nobility, and reactionaries that had to go. Purges in the US are just like...environmentalists saying "Maybe we shouldn't have lead in the water."

Soviet Union: suppresses the Orthodox clergy for being complicit in a social arrangement under the tsar that amounted to low grade terrorism for the poor

United States: throws nuns in prison for doing roadblocks to protest nuclear arms

[-] Dessa@hexbear.net 49 points 14 hours ago

When I said "I would KILL for a cheap place to live downtown," I didn't mean it literally

[-] Rom@hexbear.net 26 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

In burgerland they charge you for staying in prison so it's not even cheap

Historically accurate swole Lenin

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 26 points 12 hours ago

Why his junk shaped like that tho

[-] AntifaSuperWombat@hexbear.net 28 points 12 hours ago

Infra-materialism, comrade. His balls are filled to the brim with our collective plasm. steban

[-] JustSo@hexbear.net 26 points 13 hours ago

Kinda looks like he's smashing himself in the dick. Heheheh.

I like it.

My first thought!

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 10 points 12 hours ago

CBT devices have multiple uses, someones they are just regular construction tools.

[-] TheDrink@hexbear.net 35 points 13 hours ago

I wish America would build an Arcology!

[-] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 51 points 15 hours ago

Biden's legacy is just going to be the 1994 crime bill, mega prisons and sundowning isn't it?

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 8 points 9 hours ago

When Felix said he was going to be America's "sin eater" I don't think he anticipated the amount of sins Biden would be doing on his own on the way out (of life and office)

[-] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 30 points 13 hours ago

hey now, he's also trying for a nuclear holocaust

[-] SoyViking@hexbear.net 48 points 15 hours ago

That's unfair, there's also genocide and war

[-] someone@hexbear.net 29 points 13 hours ago

And making it impossible to discharge student loans in bankruptcy.

[-] cosecantphi@hexbear.net 50 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Hope it gets 9/11'd the day before it's open to prisoners

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 34 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Literally my first thought "gawrsh I'd like to see it shelled"

[-] cosecantphi@hexbear.net 14 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

Also this is a much smaller building than the towers. Like, it looks like it's about maybe twice the size of that section of the Pentagon that got obliterated. A nice, fully fueled wide body jetliner at mach 0.9 would leave nothing standing.

[-] JustSo@hexbear.net 65 points 16 hours ago

Comparing it to the statue of liberty is peak something.

Someone fly a fucking plane into it before it gets populated please.

[-] Hello_Kitty_enjoyer@hexbear.net 36 points 15 hours ago

I knew wishing for a million 9/11s was justified

[-] JustSo@hexbear.net 21 points 13 hours ago

When you wish upon a falling star- OH FUCK THATS NOT A FALLING STAR, HEXBEAR HAS HIJACKED AN AIRLINER

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 14 points 12 hours ago

The chem trail switches stay on during the final voyage.

[-] Palacegalleryratio@hexbear.net 36 points 16 hours ago

Irony is dead to these people

[-] vegeta1@hexbear.net 45 points 15 hours ago

Americans talk about repressive governments in one breath then brag about the architecture of a skyscraper sized prisons in the next

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 45 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Iirc, the location is a massive fuck you to china town.

Edit: found it

yeonmi-park and in wicked North Korea they jail so many people they need to build skyscraper prisons to house them all.

spoilerAlso Judge Dredd too since I'm pretty sure this exact thing happens in the mega city.

Is all the world jails and churches?

[-] cryptymythy@hexbear.net 15 points 14 hours ago
[-] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 13 hours ago

lol hopefully they found the cheapest contractor and the walls will be paper thin

[-] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 22 points 15 hours ago

Such a historic building needs a good name, something that really reflects this advancement in the infrastructure to rehabilitate people who've taken a dark turn in life, giving them a second chance with new opportunities and above all else a new hope.

But what's another word for hope? "Prospect"? And "nova" is Latin for "new".
