Every time the new outrage video comes out you always get the commenters going “this is exactly what is wrong with society, death penalty now”, coming out with the incredibly brave stance that being an asshole is bad (they are never the asshole), anyone who isn’t neurotypical needs to be locked up, the mom of the annoying kid on the flight needs to be executed, the guy who cut me off needs to be executed, the cashier who accidentally charged me an additional cent needs to be executed, the guy who showed up a minute late to mow my lawn needs to be executed. Endless circlejerking about what morally righteous and correct people they are and how society would be fixed if they ran everything.
Like, you just called a serial killer a terrible person and acted like it was some incredibly brave and controversial position making you a paragon of virtue. Holy shit, get over yourself! So many fucking threads with this shit. If you had no context you’d assume that there was some sort of pro-Serial Killer movement that was extremely powerful and just won the presidency.
And it always, ALWAYS ends with “I should be allowed to whip my children.”
Maybe televising personal arguments, day-to-day inconveniences and literal nobodies stealing a dollar from the cash drawer was a mistake.
The WOKES want serial killers to go free because it's the WOKE thing to do now (real)
Personally I think we should [incredibly graphic description of torture] criminals, but that's just me, an individual whomst is normal.
"What's that, you want to [incredibly graphic description of torture] people who do HATE CRIMES!? Well shucks, what ever happened to FoRgIvEnEsS!? Two wrongs don't make a right, you know!"
Well, I for one would never whip my children. Unlike the outrageous people out there who allow themselves to sink to that morally depraved level.
This is why your children will grow up to frighten me half to death as they walk menacingly on the sidewalk outside of my house
we civilized people would never stoop to such barbaric lows.
we use the rod in this house
Are the people with all the power to blame?
No. It's the Jews, modern women, and kids these days who are to blame
If the internet was in charge of criminal justice, society would look like what the internet thinks the DPRK is
these videos always attract the worst sadists with zero empathy.
the mom of the annoying kid on the flight needs to be executed

The whole thing is good but a couple of relevant paragraphs:
The kitten-burners seem to fulfill some urgent need. They give us someone we can clearly and correctly say we’re better than. Their extravagant cruelty makes us feel better about ourselves because we know that we would never do what they have done. They thus function as signposts of depravity, reassuring the rest of us that we’re Not As Bad As them, and thus letting us tell ourselves that this is the same thing as us being good.
Kitten-burners are particularly useful in this role because their atrocious behavior seems wholly alien and without any discernible motive that we might recognize in ourselves. We’re all at least dimly aware of our own potential capacity for the seven deadlies, so crimes motivated by lust, greed, gluttony, etc. — even when those crimes are particularly extreme — still contain the seed of something recognizable. People like Ken Lay or Hugh Hefner don’t work as signposts of depravity because we’re capable, on some level, of envying them for their greed and their hedonism. But we’re not the least bit jealous of the kitten-burners. Their cruelty seems both arbitrary and unrewarding, allowing us to condemn it without reservation.
"If you had no context you’d assume that there was some sort of pro-Serial Killer movement that was extremely powerful and just won the presidency."
America literally has several of these, depending on it whether you take the legal or the literal idea of what a serial killer is. As evidenced by all the people talking about all the sorts of people who need to be beaten, tortured, raped, and/or killed all over the place.
The shortest (but hardly only) example is both libs and fascists support police killings. At least one of these do so loudly and enthusiastically, I only ever see libs on the internet so I can't be sure if they're genocidal madmen in real life or just the internet, but fascists are fascists in person or online.
I mean the socially acknowledged “bad killers”. Sure there are certainly people who support John Wayne Gacy but I’d be surprised if it’s more than seven guys and their dogs.
This keep happening because the drip feed of outage content is hinged on generating clicks based strong human emotions which happens because the video sharing algorithms seek high engagement which translates to controversy, hopefully this helped?
I also see a lot of new leftist people saying that people agreeing with reactionary takes on a particular video is grounds for doom and gloom but you can't make those assumptions because its a diffrent level of abstraction, then say peoples are becoming generally more reactionary because they have bad takes about a video.
