False equivalence. The issue is not “pedos get killed” vs “pedos get exonerated.” I’m personally fine with the death penalty to a point, but cmon this is ridiculous.
brb gonna screencap your reply and post it on shitjustworks with the title ‘TANKIE LITERALLY SAYS THAT RAPING CHILDREN IS GOOD’
I just don't get why you'd be on board with death penalty at all.
What does it solves exactly?
It's so abusable and there's no take back... I feel it's mostly an emotional solution to material issues... It also has been proven to not have a detering effect.
It's mostly the same as torture. Ineffective, abusable, permanent.
I'm not saying this as an attack or something, I'm just genuinely puzzled at any kind of support to death penalty.
This is a very legitimate concern. I support the death penalty in revolutionary situations where it is necessary (I.e. disciplining wreckers and traitors in an active conflict). I think in societies like the US, it is entirely morally reprehensible and is a form of white supremacist violence.
