It is nothing short of murder for pay. The media companies are guaranteed to already be selling ad space for it and it will bring in billions. And- we should all know already that the nazi organization known as MAGA have already claimed their share of it.

PLEASE- Do not watch this. Do not let them monetize executions.

This paves the way for judges to issue executions far more frequently and will result in the most colossally vile abuse of our legal system we will ever know.

DO NOT WATCH IT. DO NOT SUPPORT MONETIZING MURDER.

(EDIT: it’s been brought to my attention that people need their hand held so, what I am referring to here is that MAGA is going to use American military and social media to publicly execute someone. Whoever hosted it will absolutely profit from it and there is no way MAGA isn’t also going to take their cut)

Maybe try paying attention to what’s going on.

    The 5 seconds you spent making a snide response could have been used to just add an informative link instead. And doing that would have the potential to inform people and bring them to your side. Hundreds of lurkers aren’t going to look up the totally unknown thing you’re upset about, especially when you’re being antagonistic. They’re just going to dismiss you and your message and move on to the next post. But if your goal is to feel superior and dunk on folks who are less informed about US current events than you, then: great job! keep up the good work!

    The story that OP, myself and countless other USians are upset about (among so many other daily awful events): # Firing squad execution to be livestreamed, Pentagon says https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cmy0r96xygx6o

    I don’t care for holding peoples hands. It’s a pretty major story. One can’t avoid see this unless they are intentionally avoiding it. And if they are, then they need to see posts like this with the hopes that it might influence them to start paying attention.

    This effect all of us.

    Maybe don't assume everyone on the fediverse is USA-ian.

    I assume you know about the guy who decided to eat an onion because that occurred in the world too.

    To be fair that was the prime minister of Australia at the time and he did it in front of cameras during an interview, brown onion, skin and all.

    He was the worst prime minister Australia had ever seen (not for the onion, his other policies were also shit house) but holy moly he looks like a socialist saint compared to the current US admin.

    You should stop assuming. That’s what causes these problems.

    So gather all information about a thing we should not watch? Kinda like asking for a link to be sure we can avoid it.

    This is the 1st time I hear about it, so your post kinda defeats the purpuse, it sparks intrest.

    No hate for you tho. I am against any kind of execution, deserved or otherwise. Making a circus + money out of it make me vomit.

    I wonder why they decided to do it that way...

    Most likely as a publicity stunt to distract the voter base from their many egregious, embarrassing failures. Picking a topic where they look like monsters at least avoids discussion of their weakness and how much of a chump you'd have to be to vote for them to remain in power.
