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?

          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
