There was a glorious few months before Reddit enshittified even further, before the bigger migration of users. After that it turned into 90% American politics.

Edit: downvote me all you want Americans, but the rest of the world is kind of sick of your shit ngl.

Yeah I have that thought regularly. These idiots can’t just keep to themselves and be rich and do literally whatever the fuck they want, they have to be in the public eye and fuck with our lives. But so far none of them seem mentally stable enough to maintain a good image if they’re in front of the camera enough without a pr person filtering the things they say.

So I hope it gets to them that no one likes them. I hope they feel supremely lonely. Like that time Elon Musk thought he would be super cool and stream playing PoE but ended up rage quitting in silence while crying (in his private jet) because twitch chat spammed stuff like “Grimes will never love you” and telling him to pay child support. I hope they feel like that every day.

They kept her in solitary confinement for 32 years after she was already sentenced to death, then fucked up the lethal injection twice after she requested firing squad because she knew she had small veins. So she commits torture and murder, and the response is torture and murder?

That’s also ignoring the fact that lethal injection is incredibly painful and is essentially torture as well, they just paralyze the person first so they can’t show the distress before they die.

I think society needs to try something else before giving more people the death sentence. The American prison system is fucked up as all hell for one thing. The focus should be rehab, not punishment. Prison it’s not great around the world, but for profit prisons is especially fucked up.

But before prison, a lot of people that commit these crimes may not have if they had access to stable housing, parents that didn’t abuse them, better education, more social programs, better police, etc.

Like even in this case, the girl was mentally disabled because her mother smoke and drank during the pregnancy, and was abused physically and sexually her entire childhood. Maybe she wouldn’t have committed the murder if she wasn’t impaired from birth, or removed from a bad mother and looked after properly, or had mental health support. Or maybe the mother wouldn’t have been so bad if she had the support she needed to not be an alcoholic.

Continuing with the death sentence is saying “welp, we’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas”.

So when she does torture and murder it’s the death penalty, but when the system does it they just ignore it. Love that.

Why was she imprisoned for 32 years when she was already sentenced to death? What’s the point? I don’t agree with the death penalty in general, but if you’re going to do it, just do it?
