Maybe try paying attention to what’s going on.

    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.

    Maybe don't assume everyone on the fediverse is USA-ian.

    I assume you know about the guy who decided to eat an onion because that occurred in the world too.

    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.

    You should stop assuming. That’s what causes these problems.

    Maybe try establishing an introduction to your rants instead of assuming we all live within your headspace.

    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.
