Kind of like this [1] [2] [3].
In my personal anecdotal experience, I found the US Midwest culture's handling of conflict shares a lot in common with what I saw in Japan. It is not too surprising to me the homogeneity enforcement follows similar structures in both cultures.
This has a good side to it, though. Once you the friendship of an individual deeply embedded into that culture, beyond that surface niceness, though it may take decades, it is a firm friendship, and they'll give you the benefit of the doubt to give you time to prove your point.

I doubt it, the author's other articles suggest they want a revolution to get rid of capitalism.
It's ironic that they criticize the current approach for not working, and then suggest a nebulous 'transformation' that has even less chance of working. Even if they created a communist revolution in the US, they would then need to extend this to the rest of the world which would likely involve wars that increase emissions.

Largely the point being that this sample would only include prisoners with serious long punishment crimes, like sex crimes. It’s hardly a random sample.
Probability of sex crime given you’re in prison for a serious crime is not a reliable indicator of baseline probability of a sex crime.

Well I wasn't referring to the poor specifically. [We can't afford to live anymore](https://aninjusticemag.com/we-cant-afford-to-live-anymore-and-the-rich… and there are [good reasons](https://time.com/5888024/50-trillion-income-inequality-america/) for that. If you have zero savings by working three honest jobs and is otherwise left to die, you are if not a slave then at least a serf.
