Every time the new outrage video comes out you always get the commenters going “this is exactly what is wrong with society, death penalty now”, coming out with the incredibly brave stance that being an asshole is bad (they are never the asshole), anyone who isn’t neurotypical needs to be locked up, the mom of the annoying kid on the flight needs to be executed, the guy who cut me off needs to be executed, the cashier who accidentally charged me an additional cent needs to be executed, the guy who showed up a minute late to mow my lawn needs to be executed. Endless circlejerking about what morally righteous and correct people they are and how society would be fixed if they ran everything.
Like, you just called a serial killer a terrible person and acted like it was some incredibly brave and controversial position making you a paragon of virtue. Holy shit, get over yourself! So many fucking threads with this shit. If you had no context you’d assume that there was some sort of pro-Serial Killer movement that was extremely powerful and just won the presidency.
And it always, ALWAYS ends with “I should be allowed to whip my children.”
Maybe televising personal arguments, day-to-day inconveniences and literal nobodies stealing a dollar from the cash drawer was a mistake.
