By the way, the US prison population today is higher than the Gulag population of the entire Soviet Union at its peak.

Well being worked to death and/or being strait up shot tends to keep those numbers down. And how many of those "hoarders" were quite literally starving but they had a tiny bit on hand? And how many more were in there for "anti-soviet behavior" instead of anything related to hoarding or destroying food.

"Gulags" is not a gotcha

Gulags, concentration camps and the like are definitely a "gotcha" as much as a "gatcha" can exist.
