Why does the US Government thirst for industrial scale abortion and maintain a prison system that amounts to perpetual torture? Because fricking with people is fun.
>maintain a prison system that amounts to perpetual torture
Outside of some glaring but limited exceptions that are that way because corrupt officials want them to be, the United States prison system is one of the cushiest and softest outside of places like fricking Norway.
The vast majority of them, even including most Medium Sec and even numerous examples of Maximum Sec, border on being Adult Day Care/Babysitting Centers. The entirety of Min Sec ALREADY qualifies for that.
Convicted murderers and rapists having cells that are basically on par with cheap dorm rooms, with TV's, video games, ample access to books and tabletop games, literally being able to earn money working a job or even attending classes to earn GED's or learn a valuable Trade, Etc.
>Convicted murderers and rapists having cells that are basically on par with cheap dorm rooms
No they dont lol, they have concrete rooms and are surrounded by other murderers. Rapists are mostly in PC and that sounds better than it is because there they are surrounded by other rapists, thieves and informants.
The food is shit, the people are ignorant, there isnt much to do.
Prison in the US is shit but it has to be because its supposed to be punishment.
Even Euro prisons arent all that cushy as they are made out to be. Yeah the interiors are nicer but you are still surrounded by dickhead guards, antisocial offenders, informants and thieves while being locked up.

Mfs forgot about the Roman gladiator fighting. Forcing peasants to fight to the death for your amusement is not such a fictional concept.
It's supposed to demoralize the districts and discourage rebellion. Of course, in reality, just outright fricking killing children on national tv would do the exact opposite.
Honestly given the cultural background it would probably do neither of those things.
Most likely the districts which have a population way to big to give a frick about losing 2 kids a year would either not care or enjoy the competitive spectacle even more than the capitol population who have no representative in the fights.
>capitol population who have no representative in the fights.
I only really paid attention to the first movie but didn't district one, the capital district, have some like elite trained super kids? like the capital district is the perennial winner because they can afford to train the hell out of volunteers their whole life as opposed to the poor districts where nobody has time or resources to train between the crushing work schedules and surviving their crushing poverty.
And that's kind of the whole psychological point of the games, "look how much better we are than you, look how hopeless it is to fight us." Which is why it all goes breasts up when j law wins against the script.
And as for historical precedence, the ottoman Turks would regularly extract a tax of children from their conquered territories, some of whom would become janissaries and fight the ottoman's wars, and others (male and female) would become bed slaves and painted dancing girls, and that's how they maintained control. Worked for several centuries and it was WWI that fricked the ottoman's, not popular rebellion of people fighting to free their children.
I think District 1 is a subjugated district, and not the Capitol. It’s close to it, and it’s the wealthiest of all the districts, but still a subject, and required to offer up kids.
Nah, they had one distract which was super into the fights which in reality would probably be all the districts. Give people the okay to enjoy a bloody spectacle and noone will have any ethical qualms about it.
they're children's books. nothing needs to make sense. that's why tumblr and reddit are obsessed with them
stop asking questions about trivial bullshit, this is like when you gays try and analyze harry potter. these YA slop books have all the depth of a puddle
Look anon, just because he didn’t do any of that stuff last time doesn’t mean anything. If he is elected he will INSTANTLY declare the USA a fascist dictatorship. Just like with his resurrection on January 6th which nearly collapsed the government as we know it.
I wouldn't call them gay per se, but if you read them and are not a teenage girl, or a woman in general, then you probably are
t. tried reading twilight, dropped after 20 pages
yeah but the Black folk don't routinely die on Sunday night football. they gotta shoot each other up in da club, or suicide from concussion trauma after retirement, and the league downplays all that shit as much as it can.
>I wanna remake battle royale >but I want people to think I'm original >umm, make it about a fascist dictatorship and the battle royale is like gradiator games >yeah now make the mary sue character the hero what saves the day and all the guys want to frick her >yeah now this is original fiction
They had a cool anthem doe

no but specifically picking underage people and making them the most important people in the world is standard shallow young adult dystopian fiction
Myth of Theseus and the Minotaur innit. And if you don't want to send bread, might as well go with circuses. Panem is a bit on the nose is it not.
shoulda called it Panera and then nobody'd be hungry, knowutimsayin

This is what Redditors think America will look like one minute after Trump is reelected
it happened doe

Basically the idea is giving people a balance between hope and despair as a game do they don't rise up. Katniss gave them too much hope.
God those last movies were so fricking gay
>now le hecking capitol is le Arena and the bioengineer/spellcaster/superwizards have made traps everywhere
Moloch.
Are the books just as gay?
I wouldn't call them gay per se, but if you read them and are not a teenage girl, or a woman in general, then you probably are
t. tried reading twilight, dropped after 20 pages
I read them as a preteen boy and thought they were alright except for the boring romance crap
its a wildly ignorant young adult version of roman gladiators
people follow a bunch of 20 year old Black folk playing sports IRL
yeah but the Black folk don't routinely die on Sunday night football. they gotta shoot each other up in da club, or suicide from concussion trauma after retirement, and the league downplays all that shit as much as it can.
thats what happens when you take an anime concept far too seriously. battle royale kept it simple.
For me? Its Squid Games. Its the perfect version of the "deadly game" genre
Battle Royale still made no sense though. So it’s televised yet everyone was really confused when they got there.
its not televised. its a government program to combat youth crime or something
how the frick is this shot not from the star wars prequels?
because it's got no Gino
but neither do I so just enjoy Lady Farnese's lover
>I wanna remake battle royale
>but I want people to think I'm original
>umm, make it about a fascist dictatorship and the battle royale is like gradiator games
>yeah now make the mary sue character the hero what saves the day and all the guys want to frick her
>yeah now this is original fiction
if it works it works. and if she can get rich off writing slop so can we
Gigest thipps.
wat
Why would israeli people threat the already defeated palestian so bad????
It's a humiliation ritual. Like when the BBC puts blacks in historical dramas.
This is the correct answer. I'm amazed it took this long.
Humiliation rituals have been a part of every empire.
