For those of you who don’t know, we stopped doing public executions because they were notoriously seen as spectacles and parties. People dressed up for them. They gambled. They even soaked handkerchiefs in the blood of the individual being executed, for keepsakes.

I wish that was the end of the brutality, but public executions inspire people within a community to find others to execute. To throw another party. It’s like a shark, with blood in the water. If this happens, there will be numerous more to follow. Make no mistake. This will devolve into witch hunts.

This country, that I grew up loving, has gone so far off the fucking rails!

The last public execution (1936) devolved into a carnival atmosphere with around 20,000 spectators, which was seen as an embarrassment to the entire country. And now, our clown of a leader is bringing them back.

    your country isn’t making itself a pariah, it is a pariah.

    americans need to stop saying “we’re making ourselves…” or “we’re turning into…” or “this is going to happen…” you already have made yourselves, you already have turned into, it already happened. You’re a fascist country and the rest of the world views you as an evil nation. I mean hell you’re currently encouraging provinces in my country to separate. you’re actively making several attempts to weaken us.

    The sooner americans FINALLY acknowledge the fact that “hey, we’re nazis” the better. But I’m absolutely tired of you guys refusing to admit you lost the plot and i’m VERY tired of americans constantly trying to apologize for their country. that ship has sailed a long time ago. you “elected” this clown twice and even that is questionable and you didn’t do anything about it. And before people come in here and say “what do you expect us to do?” stop saying sorry if you can’t do anything to rectify the situation.
