Just to clear it up for me, if someone gets their boobs out at the publicly televised killing of a human being, will the boobs be censored?
I mean… I am a little surprised, somehow USA keeps crossing the line and I never expect it.
They’ve done “the salute”, put up camps and founded their own Gestapo. I expected this
One of the worst things about fascism, even among the many putrid things about it, is the public display of cruelty and dominance over the regime’s named enemies.
Among the cruel, power is measured by the ability to inflict suffering, so the regime must show its strength by increasingly extreme public displays of punishment of anyone who threatens their power, whether in fact or in their imagination.
It breaks my heart that we’ve come to this. This in particular, but everything that’s happened in the last ten years that led up to this, and everything that happened and didn’t happen before Trump and Co. that brought us to the place where someone like them could seize power. It breaks my heart, and it breaks my heart that I am all but numb to it. By right I should be stunned and horrorstruck by my government slaughtering a human being for spectacle. I can feel the feeling, deep and abstractly, but not as I should feel it. I’m used to the horrors, or my capacity to feel horror has been intentionally and methodically overwhelmed. I have to work to feel a fraction of it, and the fact that that numbness is engineered by the Russell Voughts of the world is yet another horror on the pile.
At this point I’m grimly determined to see the end of this horrorshow or die trying, but holy fuck does it suck being in the middle of it. Y’all, if your government is corrupted by the influence of the ultra wealthy and the demonization of the helpless, please do yourselves a favor and nip that shit in the bud. I wish I had practical advice on how, but clearly we in the US were not able to stop this before it metastasized. It keeps getting worse long after you think it can’t get any worse. I don’t think the US has seen the worst of it yet.
There was a time in my life where I thought we had figured this one out. Maybe believing it’s figured out is part of the problem. I really didn’t think it could possibly come to this. If I had, I think I would have been more proactive about it :(
Modern day version of a time honored southern tradition.
Everybody would gather round and essentially have a public celebration, a holiday when it was time to add another n[]gg[]r to another tree. Sometimes they’d even hack apart the body to keep bits as souveniers.
This is also a thing done in Starship Troopers. One of the TV/broadcast segments mentions live executions of traitors and deserters on channel blah, check your local station for airing times.
In case you needed any further proof that … MAGA is literally a death cult, well there ya go.
Ravenous, vicious, senseless evil.
If only hell actually existed.
Agreed. But also public executions like a pretty big thing back in Europe long ago? I know it’s not quite the same, but it’s also not just a southern USA thing.
Don’t want to subtract from any of your points though. Fuck fascists, fuck racists, fuck MAGA, and I hope that orange pile of shit either dies or someone finally kills that fuck soon. Also the only good billionaire is a very dead billionaire (hopefully their wealth was redistributed to people who need it).
Edit: when I first replied I didn’t actually know the situation. After familiarizing myself with the situation, I wouldn’t have made that original comment. The second paragraph obviously hasn’t changed. Fuck all those fucks.
I’m sad we all have to live in a world where this shit happens.
Iirc it was sometime in the 70s that a public execution happened in europe but I might be wrong. Definitely 20th century though
I have no words for this my friends. Not even “what the fuck” can fully encapsulate my level of disbelief.
Wait until they make it pay TV…
Paperview!
