  • Fuck any country tbat allows the death penalty, but to be fair, I’d rather go by firing squad than lethal injection or the gas thing.

    Firing squad is mostly less used because it looks awful for witnesses, but for the inmate, its probably one of the quickest and most painless ways to go.

    If I’m getting executed, I’d rather people have to face the reality of that action, instead of pseudo medicalising it to rid their guilty conscience about killing another human being. Noting that lots of scientists say lethal injection probably causes great pain, but we don’t notice because the medicine paralyses the person before making them unconscious. And that lethal injections have an extremely high botched execution rate.







  • Why would organisations who aren’t scared to criticise the west and have a really good track record like anmety intl and HRW make the suffering of the Uyghur people up?

    It’s really fucking hard for me to understand why many people have so much trouble accepting both China/Russia and the West are heavily unethical. There’s no magic place that does everything ethically, and I don’t know why we’re refusing to acknowledge the cultural genocide of a large population, leading to extreme suffering for hunderds of thousands, because it criticises one country. It doesn’t matter who did it, it absolutely is awful, and we shouldn’t be denying it. Denying it only compounds the extreme suffering the population faces.
