I've got a better reason... Watching it will only make you a worse person. And I don't mean in the sense it's morally wrong, but that the act of joining in the crowd cheering for suffering and death will inevitably chip away at your empathy

I doubt the primary reason is monetary, this is the kind of wannabe influencer bullshit the MAGA leaders love to put on. It's performative larper fascism. I'm sure someone will find a way to make a profit, but they're doing it for the sake of doing it. It just makes their nipples hard

But more importantly, hate is a poison. Exposure makes it just a little bit easier to stomach next time. It's feeding the wolf in you that lusts for hurting others

    Every American needs to watch to drive home the horror about what their country has become. Every one of them should be forced to watch. Because turning away from the spectacle is turning away from the horror. No American should be allowed to bury their fucking head in the sand and pretend like it's not as bad as it is.

    Fuck that. You do not need to watch a live streamed snuff film. Absolutely not

    That will not drive any point home that a decent person wants people to understand, have you seen someone die violently before? I have. I reacted by getting children away before trying to help, I had the benefit of acting perfectly according to my morals without thought

    The most disturbing part is how life just goes on like nothing happened. The most disturbing part how easily you can witness a death you have no part in and just keep going. Like it never even happened

    I see what you're trying to go for, but this is not the way.
