    That’s the current version of a power fantasy he’s had ever since he was the nerdy kid getting picked on by the mean kids on the playground.

    Guillotines work way better than hanging. And when I’m in charge, the only crime that will get you sent to one is having 3+ commas in your net worth.

    You mean like the masculine leadership in the white house who has a wall of shame for journalists who hurt his feelings and loves raping children? Or the masculine leadership over at the Pentagon who drinks his ass into a bloodthirsty stupor and then tries to blame his inferior after said bloodthirst? Or the masculine leadership over at ICE who primarily target women and children? So much manly aura.

    I agree, lets start with big tech. Hang executives after their company gets 3 fines.

    Same with rich assholes avoiding tax. And celebrities pushing propaganda.

    Cause those are the real crimes that destabilize society. Not some poor person stealing bread.

    These guys really don’t pay attention to the average joe online if they think they’ll like reopening up the idea of public executions. Many have been calling for that in an ever decreasing joking tone.

    Unfun fact! In Victorian England public executions were a common place to get pickpocketed. Brutal punishment for minor crimes didn’t reduce crime, it took social services to do that.

    There’s no way this dude hasn’t done some absolutely heinous things. It’s always these folks talking about executing all criminals that turn out to be the scummiest of scum.

    Fun fact: Brutalization Effect is caused by public executions, which lead to more murders since people become desensitized to death. So great way to get more blood in the streets, if that’s what you want.

    Learned about that in a criminology class.
