Like all right wing bullshit, it's all a combination of stupidity, cruelty and false bravado.

Folks here who already exhibit these qualities are obviously trying to find justifications for it as they do for all the stupid, cruel shit that this administration does.

Unfortunately, since they all lack basic understanding of the world, religion, history and humans in general, it's all pretty stupid to read through.

Which is funny because is there anyone more beta than Trump? Here’s a guy who as a “ 6’5” couldn’t play football because he was scared of the blacks, dodged the draft repeatedly, doesn’t even sleep in the same bed room as his wife let alone get any , can’t grocery shop, let alone do his own oil change or fix anything and the list just goes on and on.

Let me guess: you unironically posted it thinking it was a good post?

"Do human beings have an inalienable right to life that is only forfeited when they're an active physical danger to others?" is a subjective question because it depends on what you consider a "right" to be.

It really isnt. The mere fact that laws exists in regards to taking away someone's life proves that its not inalienable. For example there are no laws in regards to taking away someone's gravity.

Do you include like Osama Bin Laden in this, or what? Cuz I thought it was okay when he was killed. (Not that I particularly cared tbh, wasn't something I was emotionally invested in, but like, maybe if you want to say 'Charlie Kirk' instead then you should say Charlie Kirk. And in his case I definitely wasn't happy about it.)

This is barbaric. Televised firing squads represents a brutalization of society which reflects the worst instincts of man. Your whole spiel about 'but the left is hypocritical in their purported anti-violence' doesn't absolve you of the fact that if you support this, then you're just further proving that you've lost your humanity in your efforts to maintain a semblance of justness to your continued support of team red, and if you don't support it, then the post I am responding to seems ridiculous, because you could have added a 'of course, televised firing squads is absolutely barbaric' to your post without the 'attack on the left' losing any of its weight.

A lot of barbaric here Drone. Lets which one of the below you would describe as barbaric:

A - person getting death penalty and being executed.
B - Person getting 21 years sentence and being released
C - Person getting 21 years sentence and at the end of this sentence being told " you really thought we'll let you go? Good one dude"

Personally for me it would be C.

Also I see Introvert point. I have no doubt that there is massive crossover of people who watched Kirk death and immediatelly expressed their joy, and people who are most offended now by idea of live video of execution of terrorist. I know that seeing random event and watching planned execution are 2 different things, but there still is certain hypocrisy in that.

The odds that any of this will happen are low and the odds that there were even any talks about it happening aren't much higher.

I disagree actually. Trump randomly ending sanctions for his own benefit? Yeah, sure. Putin getting something he wants while conceding nothing? Lets say I can see that.

"This is a very big and important announcement" made me chuckle for some reason. Like, he's still trying to persuade people that he's making the most terrific deals, and that we should believe what he says.

So "We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights" is wrong?
