If the Death Penalty doesn't have a profit motive, and is so obviously barbaric, why do political groups and people in America still rally behind it? Surely there's more to it than most Americans just being blood thirsty monsters, right?

    I want to steal things. I want to kill people. I want to cut people off in traffic and run over bicycles. Get the fuck out of my way, right? But you know what? I control myself. I follow the rules. But when I see someone stealing, or who cuts me off, I get so fucking angry, man. Why should they get away with it? I'm sitting here doing everything right and all I get from it is shit. So why the fuck shouldn't I just steal shit and kill people if you can just get away with it? Society only works if there's punishment. Don't let your fucking dog shit on my lawn and not pick it up. God dammit. Just fucking behave. It makes me so fucking angry. I wish I could punish these people myself. So many people do bad things and get away with it. There are people who follow the rules and people who don't. I see someone who doesn't follow the rules. I'm so angry. We need more good people and less bad people. Society won't work like this. My fucking hands are shaking man I get so worked up when I think about it. You can't let them get away with it. They need to be punished more severely, obviously. We need to catch all of them. Until it sinks in. Until the bad people are gone or stop being bad.

            Meanwhile, every study ever shows that hitting your kid once has measurable, entirely negative effects on their lives. CW: Christian Fascists, DV

            spoiler

            And all those Christian Fascist dipshits think beating their kid is a commandment from god and if they don't find an excuse to hit their kids their kids will go to hell. It's really, really, terrifying, tragic, bizarre sicko shit, and not our joyful sicko. Like if you ever think the world is too bright and beautiful and want to take it down a few shades look up the theological (lol) basis of Christian Fascist physical violence against their kids.

            I very openly will call people who defend spanking children child abusers. They don’t like it but I try to shame them about it as far as possible
