I want to downvote this out of anger but I’ll upvote for visibility

Honestly it’s the first thing this country has done that’s actually surprised me. Openly anyway. Like this is mega fucked up

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

that's conservatives in a nutshell.

[-] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 83 points 3 days ago

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

[-] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

It's insane, but courts have interpreted "cruel and unusual" to require the punishment to be BOTH cruel AND unusual to qualify, and if the punishment is being administered in all prisons, it can't possibly be considered "unusual", so it gets a pass.

[-] TheStaffmaster@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

they think GAC is deranged self harm so good luck making that argument.

[-] Malyca@lemmy.zip 25 points 3 days ago

Supreme Court: I'll allow it

[-] Jumi@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Mengele style

[-] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 47 points 3 days ago

this is how you make extremists.

[-] WraithGear@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

the argument that we should not react to what is already being done to us or else it justifies the initial slight, is and has always been bullshit.

do not justify capitulation to tyranny.

[-] supersquirrel@lemmy.ca 20 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] DaveyRocket@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] Nouvellalia@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

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

[-] DaveyRocket@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

And good riddance. If this is all it takes to get locked up then there’s no one worth a damn on the outside.

[-] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] KulunkelBoom@lemmus.org 20 points 3 days ago

So the nazis are performing experiments on the prisoners.

Good... very good.

[-] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 days ago

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

[-] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 37 points 3 days ago

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

[-] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 days ago

Not enough Nazis were hung at Nuremburgh

[-] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

A lot of them were brought over to the USA, actually. Contributed a not inconsiderable amount to the American scientific Renaissance of the immediate post war era.

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

yep. and J6'ers should have died in prison.

[-] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 3 days ago

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

[-] jtrek@startrek.website 11 points 3 days ago

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

[-] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

What have you you seen in the past 30 years that indicates to you that Americans will lift a finger to take back anything?

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 0 points 2 days ago

lame duck schmer and his cohorts, and hakeem and friends isnt going to do anything.

[-] SarahValentine@pawb.social 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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 6 points 3 days ago

That concept has nothing to do with your god.

[-] SarahValentine@pawb.social -2 points 3 days ago

That concept is my God.

[-] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

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

[-] SarahValentine@pawb.social 3 points 3 days ago

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

[-] Nouvellalia@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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.

Edit: also, that is a wild statement in general, coming from someone actively correcting people's morals and in general claiming to be speaking for the war god yhwh. "Not for forcing onto other people"🤣 pot meet kettle.

[-] SarahValentine@pawb.social -2 points 2 days ago

I asked them not to misquote my God to justify their desire for violence. Stuff this melodrama.

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

my God

pfft. yours?

perhaps the deity you worship, sure... 'my god' sounds awfully prideful.

[-] Nouvellalia@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I think that's a good idea. You should stuff the melodrama you started back in your box.

Quick question though, are you even trans? Or are you just speaking on how people should treat those committing their genocide?

edit: ok then, I felt bad and had to check your history. I support whatever mindset gets you through the horrors, sib.✊🏽

[-] SarahValentine@pawb.social -3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I checked your "history" and it looks like this.

Byebye.

[-] Nouvellalia@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

It looks like I don't appreciate soulless, horror, startrek, maga fascism, and communist authoritarianism. You got me. I am wound.

Does that mean that you like those things? That you support those things? If that's what gets you through the horrors, sib, I cannot support that. I must retrieve my fist of solidarity.✋

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I can understand why you'd want to keep your religion out of politics, especially weaponized....

but that's literally what conservative christians do every day. so I think that ground has been ceded.

[-] SarahValentine@pawb.social 0 points 2 days ago

I don't have a religion, I have a God. Only Godless people need religion. Shit on religion all you like, but if you try and say the golden rule is that old eye for an eye bullshit I'm just going to lump you in with the rest of the assholes throughout history who justified doing as they please by claiming some divine ideal.

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I don’t have a religion, I have a God

bwahaha loony

[-] plantfanatic@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

What…? The definition of religion is sharing beliefs with others, like a god.

If you’re godless you are religionless, because you don’t have beliefs to share with others.

You are so full of shit, it’s not even funny. Can you provide a source that supports that godless means you’re religious? Do you just ignore established definitions to be contrary? Because it’s not funny and it’s actually not discussing in good faith and is trolling. You are gonna get reported if you keep this crap up. This isn’t the first time you’re doing this.

[-] aldhissla@piefed.world 6 points 3 days ago

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"
