        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.”

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

      Judge Dredd has “isocubes”, though what that actually is varies by artist. I distinctly remember one panel (from the funniest comic: the one where he arrests himself and all his friends for a petty noise violation on Christmas, sentencing them and himself to a weekend in the isocubes) showing a stack of them and they’re like, clear glass boxes with a chair in them.

          I think this was one of the earlier ones, somewhere in between the moon sheriff arc and the one where they travel across the post apocalyptic wasteland that was the US I think? Pretty sure it’s before any part of the big apocalypse war arcs that start with the space voyage arc.

          Judge Dredd is a weird and silly setting and it’s very easy to see how it got mashed together with Dune and legally-distinct-from-LotR Warhammer to make Warhammer 40K.

        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.
