It is nothing short of murder for pay. The media companies are guaranteed to already be selling ad space for it and it will bring in billions. And- we should all know already that the nazi organization known as MAGA have already claimed their share of it.
PLEASE- Do not watch this. Do not let them monetize executions.
This paves the way for judges to issue executions far more frequently and will result in the most colossally vile abuse of our legal system we will ever know.
DO NOT WATCH IT. DO NOT SUPPORT MONETIZING MURDER.
(EDIT: it’s been brought to my attention that people need their hand held so, what I am referring to here is that MAGA is going to use American military and social media to publicly execute someone. Whoever hosted it will absolutely profit from it and there is no way MAGA isn’t also going to take their cut)
It’s going to be another thing that when I hear somebody partook in it I can clear them off of my give a fuck list forever.
If someone asks me if I watched it and then proceeds to tell me that they did, I’ll just walk away. I have no time for anyone who would willingly watch a murder.
Do not let them monetize executions.
No worries, it was always gonna get pirated.
Yet if any major network actually carries that, we need to know
YouTube needs to know we’re not ok
Well, that’s not very fair! I just watched a tiger maul a guy and I’m not to keen on that happening again! Although it probably will… Because that’s something like the second time in 10 years :P
Jokes aside, I agree. Fuck Kegsbreath and the entire republicunt party! These people are fucked in the head.

This isn’t hyperbole, American “justice” has done exactly, to minors no less!
This is a shit comment so feel free to skip, but it loosely reminds me of this: https://lemmy.ml/post/42938261
Even if it were Epstein himself, I’d be against it being publicized. Heinous crimes should be taken seriously and even if the courts agree to a death sentence, it should not be celebrated. No amount of death can change the damage that was already caused.
What if I told you live streaming the execution wasn’t about the money? The regime will claw money wherever they want.
It’s about power, humiliation, dehumanization, and desensitization.
It’s also a test. Can we get away with publicly executing people? They seem to have done it so far, cops and ICE have done it for a while.
It won’t stop at public execution of death row inmates. The Nazi train is full steam ahead, and there will be a lot more death, a lot more suffering, and a lot of people enjoying every fucking second of it. Why? Because that’s the only thing they enjoy. Its a disease that is only curable one way.
And the scary part?
People who personally knew him for a long time said “DO NOT VOTE FOR HIM, HE IS SHIT”. And people still voted for him
Anyone reading regional northeast news, knew he was a shit for decades.
Somehow paying for an insipid “reality” show to rehabilitate his image worked. What does that say about our fellow citizens?
I agree, it’s about continuing to shift the US away from a democracy into an authoritarian regime. It’s a message for the opposition when they begin to steal the midterms.
It’s also about making more people complicit in the regime’s crimes.
The reason is irrelevant. That it’s happening at all is abhorrent. And I’d imagine it’s about all of the things.
Besides. It can be both. Seeing as how money = power = money.
“Don’t watch the snuff film!”
Well, okay. I wasn’t. But now I’m still not.
You’d be surprised that people don’t know what’s behind shit like this. They’ll watch it not knowing that their view counts as support to ensure it continues.
I doubt they care if anyone supports it. They’re just doing it to get their own rocks off. It will continue as long as they’re there.
While I don’t know if the stream will be monetized, I can see how the event being profitable would incentivize more of it
You doubt Trump cares about viewership numbers?
Why would he care? He’ll just invent the number anyway regardless.
People are stupid, thats why I lost hope in any real fight against this
This is close to what a friend of mine witnessed 30 years ago in Nigeria. Criminals were punished in the “War Against Indiscipline”. Televised determents, such as beatings and amputations the right hand for stealing. The first man to suffer this was Bube Jangebe - for stealing a cow. This is many steps back to Medieval times. Next will be the rack.
The Taliban converted soccer stadiums to execution arenas. The US paid for those stadiums. So in a way, it’s coming home.
That’s not even the biggest issue here… The point seems to be more normalising murdering American citizens who are “traitors”…
it’s the two minutes hate.
This is a good analogy. I didn’t think about that before. It really is “direct your hate here and not against your oppressors” in public.
the unfortunate part is the only people who are going to participate are the people who really don’t need to participate.
I’ve got a better reason… Watching it will only make you a worse person. And I don’t mean in the sense it’s morally wrong, but that the act of joining in the crowd cheering for suffering and death will inevitably chip away at your empathy
I doubt the primary reason is monetary, this is the kind of wannabe influencer bullshit the MAGA leaders love to put on. It’s performative larper fascism. I’m sure someone will find a way to make a profit, but they’re doing it for the sake of doing it. It just makes their nipples hard
But more importantly, hate is a poison. Exposure makes it just a little bit easier to stomach next time. It’s feeding the wolf in you that lusts for hurting others
Every American needs to watch to drive home the horror about what their country has become. Every one of them should be forced to watch. Because turning away from the spectacle is turning away from the horror. No American should be allowed to bury their fucking head in the sand and pretend like it’s not as bad as it is.
Fuck that. You do not need to watch a live streamed snuff film. Absolutely not
That will not drive any point home that a decent person wants people to understand, have you seen someone die violently before? I have. I reacted by getting children away before trying to help, I had the benefit of acting perfectly according to my morals without thought
The most disturbing part is how life just goes on like nothing happened. The most disturbing part how easily you can witness a death you have no part in and just keep going. Like it never even happened
I see what you’re trying to go for, but this is not the way.
Just look away. Human life is precious, even though it’s treated cheaply by powerful thugs. If you view that shit it will stick with you and affect you for the rest of your life.
This is literally turning into Monday Night Rehabilitation from Idiocracy.
This whole cabinet is like a less funny version of that movie.
in Idiocracy they are idiots that know it and try to do good. This has nothing to do with these human fecal dejections at the white house.
The people in Idiocracy are dumb. The people in power now are cruel and dumb.
This administration would be fucking hilarious if People werent dying because of this admin
