    Just like the middle ages but televised. It would show just how evolved and civilized we are now.

    EDIT: I hope you’re gonna be the executioner. After all, killing bad people is a reason why good people are killing bad people. Good people don’t kill other good people. They’re not killers; they only kill bad people.

      Just cuz we globalized feudalism doesn’t mean we’re evolved or more civilized eh?

      IMO Capital punishment should be exclusively for leaders/elites who, not just commit crimes, but use their power to subvert accountability and operate above the law. Exiling corrupt elites instead of execution it literally a function of how they’ve maintained their power for centuries.

      That’s what the union said at the end of the civil war and let it just continue to brew until it came back.

      Agreed but this is just another “Tolerance Paradox”

      Punishments should fit the crime. I agree Capital Punishment is excessive for the vast majority of crimes committed, like 99.99%.

      The Epstein class is a very small number of extremely powerful people who are actively building a world where capital punishment, be it judicial, extra judicial, or a sex crime… is permitted so long as you are part of the wealthy elites.

      Simply put, if we do not execute them we are defacto legalizing them because these people already live above the law.

      If you would support citizens violently overthrowing a dictatorship than you also have to support a judicial solution that only harms those responsible.

      Whats depressing is that the elites have been so successful dividing us. As evidenced by anger like yours.

        Motherfucker, I GAVE YOU HOMEWORK TO UNITE YOURSELF TO US. TIME TO GET TO WORK.

        It’s literally your fucking job to ally yourself, not oppress me. I want to see all your little “Epsteins” gone before summer. Then we can talk about alliances.

        Until then, you’re worse than a mold slime in Canadian boots. ’Cause at the least the mold breaks down boots.

              You’re crashing out cuz I put the word moderate in a meme. Called me right wing for using the word pleb.

              And told me to go kill myself because you don’t approve of capital punishment.

              What is your point other than displaying how much you need to take a break from the internet and talk to a professional?

                That when addressed what are the actual steps to alliance, you keep dismissing them instead of acting on them.
                Since you want plebians to do your work, I will look elsewhere to ally with.
                We need no kings in the revolution.

                  You’re looking for enemies, not allies my dude.

                  Like I’d be a totally hypocrite to pretend I’ve never jumped to conclusions like you are… But like dude you’re being insane right now.
