Full title: John C Woods, hangman of Nuremberg trials, who lied about his experience to get the job (he actually learned about hanging from old cowboy films). His lack of expertise led to excessive suffering of condemned Nazis.
Condemned men should be treated with respect. This isn’t about the moral quality of the condemned, but the quality of the society that commits to execution.
The Nuremberg trials were a triumph of the rules-based international system. This fool undermined all of that.
Nazi aren’t men, facists aren’t people, they are the cancer in society level, you don’t mind if cancer suffer when you do chemo…
This kind of rhetoric is extremely harmful, as it encourages people to not critically examine the moral impacts of their own actions. Nazis were people. If you believe that only evil people do evil things, and that you’re a good person, you are priming yourself to excuse any atrocity you might enact or support.
It’s because of people with this softcore thought on nazis than those motherfuckers are feeling confortable enough to parade on streets and show their faces on public without consequences.
Those vermin need to know we don’t fear them, instead they should fear us, they should know they would die if they don’t crawl back to tbe sewers where they belong, like cockroaches
Acknowledging that evil people are in fact people isn’t softcore, it’s a baseline necessity to critically examine one’s own actions and beliefs for moral flaws. If you believe yourself to be a good person, and you believe that only evil people do evil things, then you give yourself a pass on everything you do. That car crash can’t have been your fault, because you’re good a good driver, and only bad drivers cause crashes. That homicide wasn’t manslaughter, it was self defense. Only bad people commit manslaughter. Everyone knows rape is evil, and you’re a good person, so there’s no way that sex you had was rape. If someone says otherwise, they must be lying or mistaken.
Those vermin need to know we don’t fear them,
You clearly do though.
show their faces on public without consequences.
Aren’t they still hiding their faces?
There is a huge difference between not fearing them and saying they aren’t humans.
There is also a huge difference between killing them (which wasn’t even objected here) and saying they aren’t humans.
One part of facism is claiming some people aren’t people…
Not sure who downvoted you, so please have this upvote
Go tell that to the little children those Nazis butchered.
He just did. This is the Internet, he’s telling that to the whole world right now.
Oh no. Anyway.
If you love what you do you’ll never work a day in your life.
Man sounds like a hero
Botching executions seems to be a theme with the USA.
Ironically they were getting rid of a few guys that really were damn good at killing.
I’ll let myself out…
Lemmy is being invaded by plagiarizing repost bots.
Is this a problem? I dont use reddit and like seeing (proven) interesting posts here?
the problem is that OP just reposts content from reddit without providing sources, links or anything remotely verifiable to follow up with the title.
It’s not a problem if you’re not worried about one person monopolizing a community by using a script to repost the top posts in a community of seventeen million but if you don’t have a problem with that why not just use Reddit instead?
Lots of reasons people don’t use reddit but still want content
Same. Naturally some good stuff will occasionally come from there or even less likable places. I just don’t want all of it coming from one guy. Especially when they don’t even engage, they just mill posts endlessly without any thought at all
In some ways it is easier if it comes from one account. Easier to block if you don’t like, and less chance of duplicate posts.
I guess I’m not seeing the issue from having it come from one bot.
Sadly, this person is not one bot. There’s been this whole thing about it, they’re one person operating a large number of automated accounts that they refuse to mark as bots.
On a certain level, I’m probably just being petty that they’re hogging the feed and interaction from other people. But I’d like to pretend it’s actively making user interactions more superficial and attention-driven.
Huh, I wonder if it’s the same person behind mustachius that keeps posting on history memes, it’s the same MO
if it was just one bot it wouldn’t be as much of an issue, the problem is it’s more than one. I’ve already blocked two eerily similar repost accounts on other comms and I don’t want to keep playing whack-a-mole
If you don’t care what’s the problem with me pointing it out?
Who said i don’t care? I do care.
The Lord’s work
I’m torn.
A hero they deserved.

All Nazi’s deserve to suffer
His lack of expertise led to excessive suffering of condemned Nazis.
A hero.
hes learning on the job, like the old days.
Hanging?
Yeah, careful flaying from forehead down just slow enough to ensure no passing out and then a nice slow roast at the stake is a more appropriate form of punishment for Nazis, Fascists, Racists/Racial Supremacists, Homophobes, Transphobes, etc.
Amen brother
Here is the thing, you really need to know how to do THAT… otherwise they’ll die of shock or something else.
The main issue i have with getting conned by a wrong hangman is that its just so unprofessional
Exactly. This is why Ron Desantis has the perfect background for the job.
Yeah fair, and then there’s the matter of how that person knows how to do that and you potentially have a bigger problem on your hands.
Oh well, a man can nightmare.
If you cut the skin off the meat will dry out. You gotta roast 'em at a temperature that renders the fat under the skin making the skin crispy.
Meh, rather starve than eat long pig. Not to mention they should be scared shitless before death, which we all know makes the meat all stringy and tough. No thanks, I’ll settle for witnessing the suffering of the monsters.
Talking about suffering, the same cowboy movies that falsely made cinema goers believe all American men had guns.
