Fuck the death penalty.

These are called desire paths.

I had to go back to the post of public garden to verify it was you! It was a new experience to find this cross-post joke, cheers for that

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 1 points 3 minutes ago

Hah! I didn't think anyone would notice.Thanks!

Kill all the pedo priests

Ehh I think castrating em is appropriate. Then getting em mental health help and a permanent ankle monitor. Or just kill em idk. Though ofc, this is a classic "people who say it's for the children are actually fucking children and just want an excuse to do whatever".

IE bills named something related to helping kids and having very little to do with that.

While yes Republicans have more pedos, the objective of this kind of stuff is only secondarily to kill pedos. The prime objective is to target LGBT people, who have been relentlessly targeted as “groomers” for the past decade or so.

Any time Republicans talk about sexual crimes, you need to remember that they consider being queer a sexual crime and a grown man fucking a teenager to be normal. Interpret everything they say through that lens.

I have said it before and I will say it again.

I oppose the death penalty because I don't want the government to have the power to execute people.

Any other reason you have for or against, I don't fucking care. If it's a power you wouldn't trust in the hands of your political rivals, you shouldn't trust it in the hands of the people you support.

We are indeed past the point where material scarcity is a thing. Feel like keeping people alive in American prison is worse than killing them so? If we wanna "punish" them we shouldn't be killing em. With how often pedos get diddled themselves in prison once word spreads of their crimes, seems like karma.

And that was all laid out in project 2025. But people kept insisting that saying they would do that was just fear mongering. Like how saying they'd overturn Roe v Wade was. This shit is what they're planning and people need to finally fucking acknowledge that it's not fear mongering when you're talking about they're literal plan.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 2 points 43 minutes ago

Bit too late now innit?

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 37 points 8 hours ago

Unfortunately Republicans define pedos as LGBTQ+ people according to Project 2025. So this is yet another Nazi bill.

[–] AnarchoSnowPlow@midwest.social 38 points 9 hours ago

We've done this before.

Last time we used the word terrorist.

It's a word whose definition will change to suit whoever it has been decided needs to be dealt with.

It makes extrajudicial assassination of US Citizens legal for the government to do. Fun times.

[–] alexc@lemmy.world 9 points 7 hours ago

This will only take place in states that haven’t lowered the age of consent to nine. You know, the blue ones.

[–] Corigan@lemm.ee 24 points 10 hours ago

Don't worry all the Republican pedophiles are exempt. Trump, gaetz, probably musk and to many I can recall

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 3 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

I at least hope they mean child predators, and not pedophiles.

Edit: a secure connection isn't possible with daily mail, apparently.

Edit2: IA to the rescue. Life to death for CP charges. Which is wildly different then being a pedo lol.

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 10 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I care a lot more about whether somebody does fuck kids, than whether they want to and then don't because they know it isn't cool.

"Pedophile" is the word for "wants to", not "does".

[–] luce@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 8 hours ago

True, although usually when people talk about punishing pedophiles they mean punishing people who have done terrible things to children (and in this case, Republicans are talking about neither, the main objective of this is to target queer people)

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 2 points 6 hours ago

Exactly. It’s not to hold themselves accountable. It’s a sword to be wielded toward people they deem the true pedophiles.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 16 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

When Daily Mail reports on what Republicans say, does the combination of lying about lies make it the truth?

[–] Redfox8@mander.xyz 4 points 9 hours ago

A new black hole forms. Eventually all existence will be consumed.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 8 hours ago

Catholic Church is trembling in fear.

Do we know if Brian Thompson was a pedophile? 👀🍿

(Free Luigi!)

[–] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 9 points 9 hours ago

He was of the pedo class and had the pedo spirit 💜

Great, kill pedophiles. But like, your friends that are pedophiles too. Your next birthday party is gonna be pretty fucking lonely.
