-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance).

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
The state of Missouri is set to execute Marcellus, even though literally NO ONE with a stake in the outcome of the case—not even the prosecutor nor the victim's family— wants him to die. Learn More Here
I was braced for disappointment, but this story lead me to look up stats on Americans' opinions on the death penalty, and it was worse than I thought.
The majority support the death penalty, even though the majority also believe that black people are disproportionately subjected to it, that it doesn't deter serious crimes, and that there is risk of killing an innocent person. Americans are just that fucking bloodthirsty apparently, they can agree with you on all of the reasons why the death penalty should be abolished, and still turn around and support it.
Americans would rather kill a dozen innocents than risk letting someone guilty live. It's lunacy. And as the empire collapses, have no doubt, Americans would absolutely rather watch the entire world burn in nuclear fire than let the wicked, undeserving people of the world control their own destinies.
Wow. I guess that's what you get when you have generation after generation committing evil, racist acts for hundreds of years.
I've genuinely looped around to a point of assuming the same kernel of entitled evil that existed in the original pilgrims still germinates within settler spawn. Fuck all the kumbaya bullshit; there is unaddressed, both naturally in-bred and taught after the fact, evil in the white man and woman that can only be excised through self-awareness that most Amerikans will never attain.
It's ideological within white supremacy, we're not actually yakubian demons, but as a whole what's the fucking difference when shit like this is allowed to happen
If you grow up under it, as a white, you basically have to spend your whole life constantly fighting off bullshit the indoctrination did to your brains core processing. Otherwise you just become evil
