Is this about capital punishment? What difference does it make otherwise? If they put you in psych ward for killing your own children you probably aren't getting out anytime soon

ugh. Somehow the astrologers putting in their two cents somehow makes the whole thing so much worse for me for some reason.

I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...

The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance

A white woman kills her kids, is she good or evil?

A. Evil, she is a woman.
B. Good, she is white.
C. A gemini.

These hurt to read, holy fuck

Racists, this is how you look to people capable of complex thought BTW.

I really wish people would just sit this one out instead of litigating their own pet grievances.

Misogynists: "[redacted] be crazy, and must be punished"

Astrologers: "Mercury is in retrograde, all Leo's should defend themselves from all Cancers with lethal force"

True Crimers: "Let me break out my Bratz dolls and show you exactly how the blood spatter evidence doesn't line up"

Me:

I know TikTok poisoned people are a bit out there but this case awoke some deep slumbering demons in these people, my feed was fucking wild the past week or so.

lindsay clancy? no thanks i’m not too fond of tactical shooters

how do these people function in society?

Dipshits like them are oftentimes the ones running society with not so different brainworms, so they’re mostly protected from their own dumbassery.

That's the neat part, they don't

True Crime slop must be snuffed out.

Honestly I watch some piggiecam videos sometimes but man the longform-narrative case building drama shit is too much man. The narration can sway the viewer any which way by controlling the tone and narrative too much

wow, so it really does reflect the "justice" "system"

snuffed out.

incredible choice of words lmao

Must have been subconscious on my part, it's been a long day lol

The world would be a much better place if you could be locked away and the key tossed aside.

4 day old account and this is what they decided had to be their first comment lol

Fifth comment.


This user is suspected of being a cat. Please report any suspicious behavior.

Ah right I forgot to click their name again after clicking the instance link. Upon further investigation one their other comments is saying that a black woman who shot a white man in self defense should be charged with murder. Yet another one just says "fuck the IRS". Real gem here.

Shooting in question. CW death on video. One of the most clear cut cases of self defense I have seen. First the guy blocks her with his car, then continues to menace her after she warns him she will shoot him if he continues pursuing her.

The comment about a black woman, plus the comment about the IRS tells me all I'll ever care to know about this person.

Yeah thanks for the reminder, after ruminating on it a bit that person should definitely be instance banned @Demigodrick@lemmy.zip @v4ld1z@lemmy.zip yall got a Nazi in your house. Not sure if reports carry over between instances so I'm just tagging the .zip admins.
