    I’ll watch when it’s tRump, Hegseth, the rest of the cabnet, Musk, and the rest of the evil Republicans being lined up infront of the wall. I’ll set up a watch party and cheer.

    Don’t get your hopes up Pete. Yours won’t be nearly as clean and dignified. And I bet you’ll cry too.

      There are effectively no differences between the Abrahamic religions, except the flag they carry around their necks.

        Well, just swap a few bits of unverifiable superstitious claims, days of worship, some holidays, etc…but the right wing implementations all turn out to have sick bloodlust, hatred and subjugation of women, gays, intolerance of science, etc…what a weird coincidence.

        Pointing this out to any of them results in blind rage, though.

      I think I saw a quote from Amnesty International that the only public executions in the last year they were aware of occurred in Iran and Afghanistan.

    Not a capital punishment fan but if it were me I’d much prefer this to this depressing lethal injection nonsense. And yeah, I’d want an audience to. Barbaric to judge anyone to death but if you’re going to do that at least give them some choices re the method.

    Honestly, go ahead and do it. Show the world how far America has fallen.

    America deserves to be in the same category as terrorists who produce beheading videos. This ensures it.

      100%. They’ve been sleepwalking into this shit for 30-40 years, have spent the last two doing “shocked Pikachu” and REFUSING to fight back while the other side escalates into a full sprint.

      At this point they deserve whatever MAGA gives them and I no longer give a shit- the best I can hope for is that their inaction comes back and bites them so hard the US becomes a cautionary tale for every other country where the far-right is gaining steam.

        The kind of shit you post when you don’t know that in the last couple years we’ve had multiple of the largest protests in human history. Sorry they didn’t make the fascist news media that is apparently your only source of info

        Trump is trying to turn you against regular people in the USA (just like he wants to turn regular people in the USA against you) and it sounds like it’s working.

          Wait… you think the SIZE of the protest matters one bit? When the thing you’re opposing gets WORSE following your protest?

          Also, let’s call it what it was. It was a parade. And yes, it was very big and cute.

          Unfortunately for white liberals in the US, protesting isn’t an end in itself unless you’re just using it as a way to telegraph that you’re “on the right side.”

          Outcomes matter- and the only outcome of the once-every-four-months, “scheduled in advance,” “peaceful” No Kings parade was to communicate to MAGA that they are free to continue doing what they’re doing because their opposition is easily ignored and absolutely nothing to be afraid of.

        I thought I was being a bit vitriolic, but you’re literally just a fascist. What a horrific take. You would have cheered on the Holocaust.

        As far as I’m concerned, you just wished death on all my trans brothers and sisters.

          I suspect @wizardoffrobozz@lemmy.ca does not live in the US, and like the rest of us is getting sick of the overflowing toilet spreading turds all over the house.

          It’s extraordinarily frustrating to have no part in US happenings, but to be directly impacted by the dumbassery.

          Things have been getting progressively worse for the last 10 years and Americans haven’t done anything about it. Perhaps you personally have, but Trumpism is the great shame of all Americans - your shared burden.

          What you’ve just encountered is how most of the world feels about the US. No one actually wants you or your trans brethren or any other minority group to suffer, but there’s nothing we can do to help you either.

          It’s not hyperbole to suggest that the best influence Trump can produce overseas is a cautionary tale demonstrating what happens if you elect right wing idiots.

          So, with the greatest respect to you personally, I have to inform you that my respect for Americans generally is at an all time low.

                Funny that you think that Americans have the ability to stop this short of a violent revolution that nobody really wants.

                Also, please, you are not a bigger victim of American fascism than the people living under it’s boot.

            Literally all it would take for me to give Americans even an ounce of respect would be for them to make even the most modest effort to live up to the national mythology they’ve spent the better part of a century congratulating themselves for and belligerently forcing down everyone else’s throats.

            No, I don’t hold other countries to the same standard, because they haven’t spent generations lecturing the rest of the world about their unparalleled courage, their moral superiority, and their supposedly instinctive resistance to fascism. They made fighting for freedom the centerpiece of their national identity. They demanded admiration for it. They treated any failure to provide that admiration as an insult. And now, when history finally asks them to demonstrate a fraction of the courage they’ve spent eighty years taking credit for, the pants-pissing cowards decide they’re helpless little babies and HOW DARE YOU, FOREIGNER?

          Their take has the politics of like the bleakest possible form of defeatism: giving up and letting it happen to you, while hoping that something good might come out of you being steam-rolled. They’re not a fascist.

          Idk sometimes people gravitate to the most hopeless political positions they can find and adopt them because if suffering is inevitable, then you’re more able to accept it on your terms and it feels more manageable. There’s a good quote somewhere I can’t remember that says the apocalypse has become an escapist fantasy from the real world.

            The marginalized people who will be the first to lose their lives aren’t cowards. The blood of the activists fighting the hardest will the the first to flow through our streets.

                  In the context of the thread, the other person w"ished harm" on liberals, and the person I replied to identified with that group.

                  It read like sacrificing marginalized people to return to the Democratic rule and status quo. Because liberals do deserve Trump for the lack of empathy in sacrificing us, marginalized people. Only a liberal would be so offended by that statement.

              You do nothing but elect “lesser evil” fascists that cosplay as leftist opposition. You’re the problem, not people pointing it out.

              Your lesser evil has been actively complicit in killing millions and destroying entire nations, and as long as you view that as acceptable to maintain your place at the top 10% of society, you absolutely deserve when the ratchet goes right enough to include you in the expendable sacrifice group you accept for others.

              This is a discussion forum, of course they’re sharing thoughts, but they’re also sharing willingness to fight should there be enough fighters. Dismissing that as “keyboard warrior” is cowardice. You could communicate your willingness to fight, but all the likes of you communicate is blaming one person and willingness to return things to “normal”, where normal is continuing to shift right and sacrifice the next group of vulnerable people.

              The system needs ripping out, a revolution is needed, and electing a democrat isn’t the solution to anything.

                In other words: you’re a conservative pretending to be a communist, to turn people against the left. So you can fuck right off, Putin’s Tiny Knob-Polisher.
