C'mon, it's Gwide-O

I was following this story closely over the past week and it made me so fucking sad and furious when I read the news yesterday. Nobody wanted him killed, not the family of the victim, not the judges, not even the fucking prosecution. But that shitty district attorney went and forced the issue.

Putting aside whether he did it or not, why did he have to DIE? Just because it is an election year and it looks better for their shitty DA to say he's "tough on crime?". I will never understand people who defend the death penalty, even if he absolutely did do it beyond a reasonable doubt (WHICH HAS NOT BEEN PROVED) how does that make it ok for the government to kill him?

I don't understand the angle of "Punishment" because anyone who fucking says that has never spent a single day in jail. If you have, then you'll know that spending an entire lifetime there is more than enough to punish you for whatever tf you did.

Nobody should be murdered by the government in any sane, normal country. ESPECIALLY if they don't know for sure if he deserves it.

Rest in peace. I hope that shitty Justice system faces real justice one day.

Damn, and actual Marxist Leninist party. Wonder how long before the inevitable coup.

I saw that apparently they had him speak right before JB Pritzker. Which has to have been some sort of deliberate humiliation ritual.

Sanders was up there talking about how they needed to get rid of big money in politics, and the guy who speaks right after him is bragging and saying "I'm a real billionaire, unlike Trump" then getting a massive round of cheers.

Anyone from Bangladesh here that can shed a light on what's actually happening on the ground?

I think you have to start by understanding that "gaming" or "geek" culture seeming like it leads to reactionary views or pipelines has a lot more to do with who "gamers" actually are, not what their hobby happens to be.

In most cases, videogames, table top RPGs, Warhammer 40k, pretty much any of the stuff you'd typically associate with the subculture, all of these things have been nearly entirely out of the reach of the vast majority of poorer working class kids in the past 30 odd years. As tough as it might be to hear, these have always been expensive and toys, hobbies and privileges to take part in, with maybe the exception of comic books, nearly everything else has a fairly steep entry fee, needing to buy computers, several books, figurines, videogames, merchandise etc.

It's really no wonder then, that the majority of people who are actually able to keep up with these costs will disproportionately be cis white men from the imperial core, as the group that happens to be at the top of the social structure of the world with the most amount of disposable income. And I think this is where the problem really stems from.

It's not that geeks and gamers just happen to be more likely to become reactionary, it's actually somewhat the opposite. Reactionaries, through their inherent privileged position in the world, are simply more able to get into this lifestyle in the first place. Geek culture and fascist/reactionary views might seem correlated, but they're both just part of a path of least resistance for a certain type of person.

Nothing like a good purge, but ofc when the "good guys" do it the media don't go around accusing him of having a personality cult, curious.

It's mind boggling to me that lemmygrad is the only place I've yet seen anyone show some sort of respect for a world leader dying in a violent accident. Everywhere in the media and online all I'm seeing is people glad he's dead. As if he's ever done anything to any of us to deserve that.

Must have been a Terrible way to go. Rest in peace.

Kerala is not "Completely communist", from what I know about the situation there its governed by a broadly left wing coalition with the main Communist party as the leader, and they are very limited in what they can actually do because of the constraints from the federal government.
