It is nothing short of murder for pay. The media companies are guaranteed to already be selling ad space for it and it will bring in billions. And- we should all know already that the nazi organization known as MAGA have already claimed their share of it.
PLEASE- Do not watch this. Do not let them monetize executions.
This paves the way for judges to issue executions far more frequently and will result in the most colossally vile abuse of our legal system we will ever know.
DO NOT WATCH IT. DO NOT SUPPORT MONETIZING MURDER.
(EDIT: it’s been brought to my attention that people need their hand held so, what I am referring to here is that MAGA is going to use American military and social media to publicly execute someone. Whoever hosted it will absolutely profit from it and there is no way MAGA isn’t also going to take their cut)
I actually have no idea what this post is about, somebody enlighten me?
The administration is planning on a public execution live-streamed online. The person being executed is a former Army major and psychiatrist who killed 13 people in a mass shooting at Fort Hood Army Base in Texas back in 2009.
The condemned is a monster, but this is a test case for more public executions. They’re bringing back public lynchings.
Not a monster. That’s pretending their actions are not human. Dehumanizing criminals sabotages genuine efforts at preventing crime.
Thanks :)
To quote myself:
So…. Even with an explanation in the post you still don’t understand it?
What part are you having trouble with??
Well you’re a pleasant jackass. Just gonna block you and move on. Good luck with your PSAs when you’re pissing off the people you’re trying to communicate your message to.
Dude comes here pretending to not know what a post that clearly states what it about- was about. Then gets bent out of shape and blocks me when I pointed it out to them
Some gifts wrap themselves.
Because I didn’t know, and OP didn’t say, here’s the topic
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/pentagon-says-firing-squad-execution-of-fort-hood-shooter-will-be-livestreamed
Maybe be less rude
Thanks. As a non-USian who doesn’t follow US domestic news very closely, I also had no idea about the context.
Thank you, had to go this deep to figure out wtf is going on. The OP is being a jackass.
There nothing rude about defending one’s self from people being obnoxious.
It is not the subject that is rude, it is your way of presenting it. If you talk down to people, who are genuinely confused, you appear as a jerk, and will get a negative response. Maybe they could have looked it up, yes, but people also want to interact with each other on a discussion platform, which is one reason making them rather ask, what is going on. If you do not want to interact with them - just do not. Other people will usually answer the questions.
I talk to people the way they talk to me. Go ahead and check the comments. I have had some very nice interactions with people here. It’s just the ones that come in being asses about it because I didn’t custom tailor the post to suit their needs or make it relevant specifically to them.
Better yet… Go look at the rest of lemmy. Does it all appeal to you? No? Do you complain to the author of every post because of this? Probably not. But if you did, would you expect a kind response? I hope not.
We all have our biases, and it colors what we see. So when you see me being an ass, you’re seeing it from the side of people who think they’re owed an explanation of everything, and if it doesn’t make sense to them- they get to shit on it.
I was very clear in what I said as many people here fully understood it. And many who didn’t asked without showing their ass about it and got an answer. The rest can gtfo. I’m not here to validate others.
Are you okay? Like, genuinely, is everything alright? I understand it gets frustrating, and lemmy is partly full of jerks, too, but the starter of this specific discussion chain just looks to have asked very casually, what is going on. Your reaction seems very aggressive from this outside perspective. Are people often harassing you here?
Dude/Dudette…you’re posting to a sub literally called general on an instance called literally lemmy.world and expect everybody to be on the same page what your barbaric and uncultured government is doing?
And then get angry about it?
Who said I’m angry?? What I see is a bunch of angry kids that read something they don’t understand and attacked me because- apparently the onus is on me to hold their hand through the entire thing.
So I added a description of the point and they still bark at me because their country didn’t get the memo.
Who fucking cares?! lol! Then it’s not for them and they can move on! But no!!! It HAS to be something they can consume!
lol. I think it’s funny. Annoying, but still funny.
Not everyone lives in the hell on earth you call a country and needs to be on top of the news thereof.
Cool beans. By you could have scrolled on, but instead- your entitlement demanded your asshole response so that I get to be the bad guy for defending myself.
Neat!
Blocking your ass.
Dude what the fuck is your problem. Do you just assume that everyone knows the same things that you do. Your edit doesn’t really even add much detail. Still zero idea what this is about.
The US government wants to live stream killing a person. Live streaming is like when you see something as it happens, like on television, but via computer. I hope that explains it well.
Cheers.
I deduced that someone was live streaming an execution but didn’t think it would be the US government. That’s fucked.
Who else would you think it would be? John Livekill?
I watched the first season of Slow Horses recently where a group of terrorists kidnap a kid and plan to livestream executing him. I assumed it was something like that. I really don’t see how this post makes it obvious to assume that it’s being done by the U.S. government 🤷
Do you assume everything written needs to make sense to you? I even provided an explanation for the post and this idiot still said they don’t get it.
The younger generations need to step the the fuck up and quit with the entitled bullshit. The word doesn’t own them shit. If you don’t understand something, look it up. Ask your AI, whatever it is- but stop demanding things be custom tailored to your expectations.
Plenty of people understood exact what I said.
Bro I’m old. But Googling this shit doesn’t tell me anything so I guess I just don’t need to know what it’s about.
Edit: also,
No, but if you make a post online trying to persuade your audience of something, context tends to help…
I gave context kiddo. Look at the bottom of the post. And if you googled this and it didn’t tell you anything, you suck at google.
Consider your hand held:

Your attitude is worse than live streaming an aexecution gg didn’t think it could be done.
LMAO… Okaybuddy. Sorry I didn’t kiss enough ass for you.
