The classic response from anyone who is told the truth about themselves.

Ladies and gentlemen, the great anti-death penalty stance, brought to you by your local ignorant, unthinking ideologue who doesn't understand what he's arguing for or even cares to think about.

Go on, write me another essay or two telling me exactly who I am. I got time.

[–] pinkdrunkenelephants@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I don't have to. You're doing all the hard work for me. Keep it up

[–] snek@lemmy.world -1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I know you want to. Writing essays about people makes you feel in control, and more decisions I made about you by reading some text.

Capital punishment doesn't work. It doesn't deter crimes. It doesn't prevent violence. It's not a solution. It's inhumane. It's expensive. It's irreversible. https://www.amnesty.org/en/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/act500062008en.pdf

Yeah you totally know all about me lol

A large number of shooters are just out to commit a mass murder-suicide. Who does this serve justice to? Or is this just to get people feeling like they’ve been “avenged”?

My guy, your blatant hypocrisy speaks more volumes than I ever could.

You're starting to fall back on the Hollywood revenge arguments. Give us some more of those. Entertain us.

You type many words yet they signify nothing /: no explanation, just accusations, why?

[–] pinkdrunkenelephants@lemmy.cafe 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

When you grow up, you'll see why your elders told you opposing the death penalty is wrong. I just hope it doesn't come at the cost of your family the way it does so many others.

[–] snek@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Who are my elders?

And do you think the death penalty would someone prevent a murder that could one day befall my own family?

[–] pinkdrunkenelephants@lemmy.cafe 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Me, to start. And I am telling you you are going down a dark, DARK path enabling genocide the way you are by defending the hopeless fascist retard who massacred 10 innocent people, while simultaneously accusing your opponents of violating human rights by supporting the death penalty.

You understand that the Nazis tried at Nuremburg were hanged specifically TO protect human rights, don't you? That the whole-ass basis of human rights is the idea that individuals can jeopardize the future of the species and that killing them is a moral responsibility to prevent our extinction? Do you actually read any history at all? Do you know what you're doing when you choose articles like this, the worst of the worst, specifically to proselytize and make yourselves look good in your eyes?

If you don't, you'll likely figure it out by the end of the year, when his ilk make you drown in the rivers of blood you spilled through them.

Fucking kids these days sleeping through history class, I swear 🤦
