    No need to check my comments. It’s just part of the news. It’s a thing that is happening that is being widely covered.

    Widely covered in America. The rest of the world probably skipped that one.

    I'm aware of it, mostly because of my doomscrolling of Fediverse but I also saw a Brazilian news outlet (G1 Globo) publishing a news article about it. So I can guarantee you; no, we "the rest of the world" didn't skip that one.In fact, personally, I'm far from merely aware of the upcoming USian "Faces of Death 2026 Remake" as a Brazilian; it's one of the things actively weighing currently in my head in ways that, simultaneously with all the ongoing shitshow I'm watching going on in this demiurgic world and around me, are further desensitizing me regarding my own... fate.Oh, it goes without saying, no, I'm not going to watch the awful upcoming live assassination.!general@lemmy.world

    Unless Reuters, BBC, and the Associated Press are secluded to the US only, its world news.

    And for those of us who don't have our antenna/cable connected, and live in Australia.... or anywhere else in the world....?

    Then I guess it really wasn’t meant for them to begin with and it’s okay if they just scroll past it.

    So it's alright with you if someone from another country stumbles across a link or advertisement for the live execution and pays to see it? As long as they're not american....

    And I'd agree - so wouldn't it make sense to provide context to the world, considering you provided the information to me - and probably others...

    Because sooner or later. It’s going to reach everyone. Better to get ahead of it- provide perspective, and hope it’s taken seriously than to ignore it and hope for the best.

    Reuters and BBC have news about it, but it’s not top news. You need to scroll a bit and keep your eyes open or you’ll miss it.

    Hey kiddo. This wasn’t for you. You really need to stop the entitled bulshit and scroll past things that don’t pertain to you. Mmmkay?

    Tell your little entitled friends to stop attacking people for posting shit that they have no interest in, or aren’t informed about and I won’t have to call them out in defense of myself.

    Blocking you because you’re annoying.

    Bro I live in America and your vague-ass post is the first I've heard of this. I guess I live under a rock, idk, but you don't have to act like an asshole to people who have no idea what you're talking about.

    I’m not acting like an asshike. I’m just tired of hiding peoples hands and guiding them to a point. For fucks sake. If they don’t know what’s happening or what the pair is about, they can move on. I don’t go making fun of people and being an asshole to others when they pair shit I don’t understand.

    Believe it or not, complaining about "handholding" people who just haven't looked at the news yet today and happened to stumble across your post first, sounds a lot like being an asshole.

    Yet it’s not being an asshole to comment on a post complaining that you don’t understand it?

    There a fuckton of shit posted on lemmy I don’t understand. Linux shit. Cybersecurity shit. Anime shit…. You’ve know what I do?

    I move past it. It’s not for me. I don’t need to understand it and indont act like an asshole to the authors of these posts that I don’t get it.

    I’m not entitled to understand everything I consume. So how about you go complain to the kids that believe energy. They read needs to be undershot and direly written and formatted for their abject understanding.

    You can bet I won’t ever post to this community again though. So congrats- touve helped to curate the content in your little walled garden.

    The 5 seconds you spent making a snide response could have been used to just add an informative link instead. And doing that would have the potential to inform people and bring them to your side. Hundreds of lurkers aren’t going to look up the totally unknown thing you’re upset about, especially when you’re being antagonistic. They’re just going to dismiss you and your message and move on to the next post. But if your goal is to feel superior and dunk on folks who are less informed about US current events than you, then: great job! keep up the good work!

    The story that OP, myself and countless other USians are upset about (among so many other daily awful events): # Firing squad execution to be livestreamed, Pentagon says https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cmy0r96xygx6o

    I don’t care for holding peoples hands. It’s a pretty major story. One can’t avoid see this unless they are intentionally avoiding it. And if they are, then they need to see posts like this with the hopes that it might influence them to start paying attention.

    This effect all of us.

    To be fair that was the prime minister of Australia at the time and he did it in front of cameras during an interview, brown onion, skin and all.

    He was the worst prime minister Australia had ever seen (not for the onion, his other policies were also shit house) but holy moly he looks like a socialist saint compared to the current US admin.

    Maybe try paying attention and not expecting people to hold your hand. That or maybe try accepting that if you don’t know what someone is talking about- move on, it’s not for you.

    So gather all information about a thing we should not watch? Kinda like asking for a link to be sure we can avoid it.

    This is the 1st time I hear about it, so your post kinda defeats the purpuse, it sparks intrest.

    No hate for you tho. I am against any kind of execution, deserved or otherwise. Making a circus + money out of it make me vomit.

    I wonder why they decided to do it that way...

    Most likely as a publicity stunt to distract the voter base from their many egregious, embarrassing failures. Picking a topic where they look like monsters at least avoids discussion of their weakness and how much of a chump you'd have to be to vote for them to remain in power.
