The fetishizing of the Supermax Prison Cell - AKA what is with the long running fascination young men have with living in a closet size room with only educational/religious TV to watch

[MirrorNoir]

Can someone explain to me the way this room/cell keeps getting fetishized by people online? I really don't get it and would like to get insight on why the idea of living in such a cell, which is considered to be reserved for the worst of the worst, is both desired and considered desirable for men these days?

Which people? I've never heard of this.

I guess if your a old monk this would look cozy, personally know no one that finds this sexy bro, even Yoda's Hut had a bit more amenities than this hole in the wall

Just saying the Yoda Hut might be smaller, but it has a stove. Who the fuck wants to live in a supermax?

 

[Lithuophile]

Far too luxurious imo

 

[Fascist Frederick]

Is this the pod that I will be eating bugs out of?

 

[Breadbassket]

What you should really be asking is why are people romanticizing that and not this instead?

Shoot, I want OBL's compound in Tora Bora. That would be pretty sweet.

Monks have to go outside, do physical labor, and interact with others, possibly including women. That's a big dealbreaker for these types.

My guess would be because Ted K. didn't mind Supermax so much, being an introspective loner who could get what little human interaction he needed via pen-pals. Charles Harrelson is the only other criminal who I've seen describe Supermax as even a remotely positive experience.

For a normal person, the lack of fresh air/natural light and extreme isolation will drive you nuts, which is why the suicide rate is much higher.

Basically, even mega-NEETs underestimate the need for human contact.

Well, most trads and lefties don’t mind losing their freedom and autonomy. Hell, I believe they are even willing to spend the rest of their years in a room similar to the image of the OP in the name of fighting degeneracy(trads) or climate change(leftists) where they will have nothing much to do,

I don't like them but I would like to imprison more people in them as opposed to the death penalty.

All those appeals serve as a distraction and can be entertaining for people that have committed horrendous acts.

You get some sunshine, see people still suffering for your acts, and maybe even a nice ride out of jail for court hearings.

Supermax on the other hand is 23 hour a day lockdown and the hour a day you get to spend in the rec yard?

Get ready for an anal cavity search.

An hour with you and a small little ball.

Is it cruel? Probably, but the Constitution only protects against cruel AND unusual punishment. The fact is that the Quakers had a very similar system to solitary confinement only a few decades after the Bill of Rights were drafted but we had no claims then.

Therefore it's permissable.

As to why I support it?

I want those in solidarity confinement to be slowly driven insane and kill themselves.

Are you mixing this up with people who are happy living minimally ("man will live like this and be happy" kind of shit)?

More and more threads here sound like someone crazy talking to their self. This is the second thread in a row I read like this in Deep Thoguhts. Like there is no context provided for this rant, but here it is anyways.

>Be me
>Open thread on American website about prison
>Optimistically shocked nobody has brought in Mutt's law

Y'all did good. I know it takes a lot of restraint.

You're right, I'm derelict in my duties around here.

Ahem - BBC nigger ass rape.

I guess they're being "socially engineered" by "social media" and MSM to accept pod "life" and believing The Narratiuve™, and that kind of prison cell "life" is like that?

The worms in his brain. It's really funny when he spouts this shit in Multimedia ( and related subjects).

Someone just posted a thread on /tv/ board today praising the supermax prison cell and asking people what TV shows or movies they'd watch if they could live in one.

Bro, what kind of people are you talking to to give you this impression? The monks on Mt. Athos?

Probably an extension of the phenomenon whereby people increasingly want to live a completely obligation-free existence. You're fed, housed, and clothed. Beyond that, you just kind of exist, the way a plant or fungus might exist.

I can see this being appealing to certain people who have way more responsibility than one human ever should, but in my experience most of these opinions come from Chris Chan types whose only "responsibility" is to not destroy the lives of everyone around them. For some, even this is a bridge too far. How someone gets like this I can only imagine, though the common thread seems to be lack of any real hardship in their lives.
