You’re a barbaric nation for many reasons already, this will just be another nail in the coffin.
I always thought their oath of allegiance, done every day in school, sounded so much like something kids in North Korea would be forced to do.
This is just another thing to add to the pile.
Lol the fact that you’re even comparing them to a country that they literally genocided speaks to the effectiveness of American propaganda. Glad y’all eyes are starting to open up, but America has always been the evil country doing evil things lol.
I mean the majority of us are British decendant, who historically are not known for being kind to their neighbors lol
The worst of the Brits, if I remember the history of the first settlers correctly.
Sorry you already are
Hate to break it to you, but this has always been a barbaric nation that was founded on colonialism and genocide. Putting an execution behind closed doors does not change that.
After 3 years of full fledged US-backed livestreamed genocide it is quite astounding people are upset about an execution being livestreamed
Every nation is barbaric. Show me one that isn’t.
Maybe we can stay on topic, big guy, we’re shitting on America right now.
the US has streamed several executions already. they just happened to be extrajudicial carried out by police/ICE
Those were streamed incidentally, not officially.
When police body cameras are always on and you execute someone, you’re not streaming it “accidentally”. You know you have a camera on your body while you murder someone and choose to do it anyway.
This is a really odd argument that I can’t understand, there is a categorical difference between an official broadcast of a scheduled execution and the video from a police body camera being released following the police killing someone. I don’t understand how you can say they are the same thing, whether the cop remembers in the moment they have a camera on is irrelevant. Capturing an incident as part of routine recording and then releasing that video after the fact is not at all like scheduling an execution and broadcasting it live for the world to watch.
I don’t understand how you can say they are the same thing
The people doing the killing knows the cameras are on, watching their actions. And they go ahead and kill someone anyway.
Just because the US justice system hides tax payer paid public servants from concealing their lawfully required body cam footage is a US justice problem. But the cops know they’re being recorded at all times and they’ll kill an unarmed civilian anyway.
I am not following. From my perspective, the people doing the killing are in very different circumstances and the purpose of the cameras are completely different. The message being sent with an execution being conducted like this seems completely different than the message being sent when there is a release of bodycam footage showing police killing someone.
Police body cameras don’t stream. It is a closed system.
Sure. But they definitely know they’re being recorded when they execute someone.
With the absolute certainty that they won’t get shown if it could hurt them. And even then they’ll turn them off when they want to do something really bad.
We passed the “barbaric” marker a long time ago.
Yes, but this publication is conservative. When they’re saying it’s barbaric, it’s bad.
I’ve been waiting 40 years now for that leftward swing.
Best we’ve done so far is Obama passing a heritage foundation free market based “healthcare” system.
Don’t forget extending and building upon the Patriot Act!
The country was literally built on genocide and slavery. OP, Remove the “if” and replace the comma with a period.
I got some bad news for you…
…
It just means mask has slipped.
White phosphorus and cluster bombs are still used by the US.
Meanwhile the list of fuckery is so long it’s hard to pick a starting point.
We’ve always been a barbaric nation. Please stop pretending that we haven’t.
If?
Yeah, it’s not even pay per view.
For Liberals, barbarism is when you publicly show what you are doing instead of doing it in secret.
The New Republic is a conservative publication.
Liberalism is the ideology of both Republicans and Democrats.
if
Well, that’s a big if!
don’t worry guys, it’s really not as bad as you think. it’s worse. you’ve been a barbaric nation since 1776.
*before
agreed, but I thought they probably weren’t technically a nation then, at least as the US
Good point, mostly wanted to highlight that they colonized the “USA”.
