Someone needs to sue asap because this definitely qualifies as cruel and unusual punishment.

All they "need" is one, then they can just keep screaming about it over and over again and convince braindead conservatives that a single instance of something is a massive national issue threatening to drown the country.

Huh, seems like they’re fine doing whatever they want anyways. It’s kind of a nothing threat when they’re already just shooting protestors on the streets and jailing people for moving magazines. There’s just no appeasing fascists, they were always going to do a fascism.

Yeah, I guarantee you everyone in this thread has already done enough for the current regime to lock them up for life.

At least 50% of the statements from the Trump admin are rage-bait. Charlie Kirk, who's not even an elected official, caused a fair amount of backlash where people lost their jobs or were even imprisoned for their speech with little concern from conservative voters.

When the people take back control... Do unto others as they did unto you. Golden rule fuckers.

No torture. Just hang ‘em and be done with it. Can’t have a fair and just society as long as Nazis exist.

Not enough Nazis were hung at Nuremburgh

Punishment must be severe, to send a message to those that would attempt to bring fascism back again.

I don't think they learn or understand the world very well. That's why they're the way they are.

The golden rule is "do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

Do as you please, just don't pretend my God said it was okay.

[–] Triumph@fedia.io 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That concept has nothing to do with your god.

[–] SarahValentine@pawb.social 1 points 1 day ago

That concept is my God.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Which can then we switched around because they did what they wanted done unto them.

[–] SarahValentine@pawb.social 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No it can't, because moral lessons are for controlling your own behavior, not for forcing onto other people. Do better.

A, I can only imagine, trans person, wasting seconds of their one precious life fussing at another person, that those who are genociding trans people should be treated really well, in the middle of the genocide, is astounding.

You know, making a eunuch out of someone used to be a legit punishment. Just saying, there's a lot of oppressors putting some unrealistic expectations on themselves ever siring a child... maybe it would be sensible to release them of these expectations by that way. CK2 symbol for "eunuch"
