@bronze@nobullyplz@pleasesaybye I assume this is the town that infamously kicked out the cartels, then accepted the gov threats, then voluntarily disarmed, then got brutally tortured by both sides?
@nobullyplz@pleasesaybye YEAH IT JUST FUCKING WORKS HUH IF YOU TAKE ALL THE CRIMINALS AND PUT THEM IN ANIMAL CAGES LIKE THE ANIMALS THEY ARE SUDDENLY NO MORE CRIMINALS EVEN A SHITHOLE LIKE EL SALVADOR CAN BE SAVED IF SOMEONE WITH SOME BALLS CLEANS UP ALL THE CRIMINALS
@pleasesaybye Democracy is when a 9-year-old salvadorean child has 4 fingers cut off by garden shears. Democracy is when your uncle couldn't afford the bribe and his head is used as a soccer ball. Democracy is when the machete gouges your shoulder and you feel the crick of the shattered bone.
The more fingers, the more heads, the more flesh and bone, the more democracy it is.
@pleasesaybye When you use the army to repress criminals and obstructionist parasites rather than the average citizen, it turns out that's really popular with the average citizen.
@bronze@nobullyplz@pleasesaybye I’ve heard about it in passing, the cops/military said “hey you can trust us, you can’t just be autonomous, you know. We’re good for it, everything will be fine”
Did their gun control dance, disarmed everybody, and things went back to the antequo- but worse
@bronze@nobullyplz@pleasesaybye The average Roman governor had a far more realistic understanding of crime and punishment than the average Western criminologist. To acknowledge obvious truths humans have understood for millennia work better than gay ivory tower fads is what they call "fascism."
@bronze@nobullyplz@pleasesaybye Liberals say the people of the past were unenlightened brutes because they would publicly execute criminals. I say they were the enlightened ones, and we're the savages.
@ArdainianRight@bronze@nobullyplz@pleasesaybye Our crime and punishment system is designed people with a specific IQ range and morality system and that is why it doesnt work with the current demographics Stupid people are completely unable to understand anything but immediate and ruthless punishment for infractions That is why we used to cut thieves' hands off The phantom pain helps the knuckledragger understand that taking something that doesnt belong to you is bad better than sitting in time out
@VidMasterEon@bronze@nobullyplz@pleasesaybye Corporal punishment was commonplace in early America. Even if they opposed "cruel and unusual" punishments, the Founding Fathers never imagined that would ever be interpreted as getting rid of all corporal punishment or getting rid of quick and standard methods of capital punishment.
@VidMasterEon@bronze@nobullyplz@pleasesaybye There's also the little detail about the government not giving a shit and just doing whatever they want. Everything the FBI, DHS, and NSA do is an obvious 4th Amendment violation.
@ArdainianRight@bronze@nobullyplz@pleasesaybye Just another failing of the supreme court They ruled that the use of the death penalty for anything other than murder was "cruel and unusual" meanwhile the founders punished sodomy with death and castration Founders should have cut down on the flowery language and made concrete points to guide the 'interpreters'
@BiggusDiccus@bronze@VidMasterEon@nobullyplz@pleasesaybye The Constitution actually did work well enough at preventing a singular individual from monopolizing power, it's just tyrannical government has grown steadily, dispersed across any number of bureaucratic fiefdoms.
@VidMasterEon It failed because the people failed to protect it. The constitution really is a work of art, meticulously crafted by men with amazing foresight. Sadly, when it came time to defend the ideals it lays out Americans failed time after time. @ArdainianRight@bronze@nobullyplz@pleasesaybye
@ArdainianRight@bronze@nobullyplz@pleasesaybye The constitution either condones it or failed to prevent it either way it is unfit for purpose and cuckservatives need to stop holding onto it like a security blanket
