    You are a barbaric nation for not ending the death penalty

    May as well put the brutality on display, will help people realise why it’s wrong

        Exactly this. We still have awful humans among us. And barring some kind of gene-editing/therapy, that won’t change.

        People used to take their families to lynchings. Vendors would sell food at the event. They’d put their kids up on their shoulders to get a better view. And they’d go for ice cream after. Just like they went to the movies or something.

        The culture may be better (well, except for conservatives and their heroes like Hegseth and donnie), but humans are not any different from that time.

        There are people that will absolutely love this and beg for more. Approximately 52% of Americans support the death penalty.

        I don’t think making a fun spectacle out of it will fix jack squat.

          Beg for more is an understatement. The hunger that builds for cruelty cannot be overestimated. They get rabid for it.

        On the other hand, showing such material could convert MAGA Republicans into eager guro enthusiasts. Surely that would cause some sort of “on sight” doctrine to be established for the Pubs.

      And for not ending slavery, as the constitution clearly states that slavery is illegal, except when incarcerated.
