It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

China should learn to do the death penalty in the civilized way: a botched lethat injection that leaves the injectee writhing in agony for hours before finally passing away.
I’m against the death penalty but if you’re gonna do it then stop being squeamish about it and use a bullet to the head or a guillotine. Fast, definite, painless, and honest about what it is.
Edit: replied to the wrong person
Really no problem with that? I mean deathpenalty instantly makes you a shit state anyway, but potentially having mobile units that can respond quickly to deathpenalty "worthy" crime?
I don't see what could go wrong. /s
I think that Benito Mussolini had it coming and fully deserved a death penalty
That's just whataboutism and waaaaaayyyyyy not my point
Whataboutism? What about deez nuts?
What the fuck is whataboutism about that post. They just meant that some people deserve to die because of the atrocities they commited. Do you honestly believe that a serial child molester can be reformed? Would subjecting them to a lifelong stay at a labor camp be better?
Whataboutism? What about deez nuts?
deeply unserious
Maybe articulate what the actual problem you have is instead of using a weight bearing /s
What's the difference once you cross the line into using the death penalty whether you use an office or an ambulance? The vibes?
Even if the by-all-indications-fictional vans were real, the claim is that they're replacing dedicated static facilities with a smaller number of mobile ones that would just go and set up at a prison as-needed to carry out sentences.
Except the entire thing falls apart with even the slightest scrutiny. Just look at all the things being claimed: that Bad Country is supposedly frivolous and trigger happy and doesn't value life (unlike the noble and civilized US, where police up and murder over a thousand people a year, there's a rabid push for more death sentences, there's a bipartisan consensus eagerly baying for more genocide and ethnic cleansing and both parties breathlessly accuse each other of not being bloodthirsty enough, and mass death and suffering is just casually accepted as necessary for the holy line to go up), but that they then wouldn't also make sure to have dedicated, reliable facilities on hand for it and instead would rely on a sketchy ambulance with a chair and a poison syringe cabinet; the implication that it would be a rushed fast-response extrajudicial thing is also at odds with the idea of having a mobile facility that's performing what's supposed to be a "humane" execution method - if they're so bloodthirsty and barbarous ("because of their brainpans, you see...") why bother with something that's both absurdly convoluted but also really shoddy and sketchy instead of just up and shooting someone?
It's nonsense: there's no reasoning behind it nor material motivations and the whole idea is contradictory and absurd.
I didn't really get that out of it at all, but I developed a skill to see past a lot of the garbage. It was fear-mongering and overall just a scary way of saying China has reduced the use of death penalty, there are better mechanisms in place to prevent unlawful/unnecessary use of death penalty, and a drive to replace gunshot execution with lethal injection. The "victims" included are simply multi-million dollar fraud (essentially) and an abused kid that went on to (cw: violence) rape and kill.
You are right, in that there seems to be no widespread use of this van in the event that it is seriously used.
If you look at the pic in OP and do not have terminal libness stage you would quickly notice it's all hoax and atrocity propaganda.
You mean like a SWAT team? WTF are you talking about?
I mean, they do execute bankers. So it seems pretty good so far
lmao this might be the most valid comment under mine But I am still against the death penalty under all circumstances ;)
