No, not at all. I'm trying to make sense of your shitty "gotcha" point, made with an oft repeated meme with no associated references. But hey, you were 'this close'. Keep trying.

Cool, you have access to the same numbers. How would you make a comparison that makes sense of this oft repeated 'apples to organges' meme?
Would you be more comfortable if we compared 1920-1950 for gulags, and US prisons? Or how about just a point in time for the USA and world prisons. OH wait, I already provided you with that with the second reference. What would make y'all happy?
Ya got any sources on those figures?
I'm seeing that the Gulags had about 18 million people passed thru them from the 1920s to the mid 1950s, with about 1.5-1.7m died in detention. Population of Sov.Union 1920 - 136.8m, and 1950 178.5m. About 10% died in the gulags per these figures. https://www.britannica.com/place/Gulag
Currently approx. 11.5m are imprisoned world wide. And the USA has about 1,808,100 incarcerated. Thus approximately 15.7% of all incarcerated are in the USA.

Yep, it's treason. And it's not just one guy.
And doesn't deter me in the least. Pass the hot sauce, please!
lol, no better than you at elaborating, or explaining. Are you by any chance related to Mary Poppins?
