Being from the U.S. the only time we have seen clips of (usually blurred out) executions on tv is when the U.S. was trying to convince the population that groups like Al Qaeda or such were wretched. Basically "look at how this group performs executions they are terrorists that need to be put down themselves".

So this whole thing seems to really re-inforce the Y'all Qaeda terminology.

This is beyond capitalism, collapse is imminent

Just normalizing the image of military shooting citizens.

I believe that traditionally bread is to be provided to plebians along with the spectacle.

So sanction and cut off the US

You can bet the barn that they will "joke" that deranged left will be tried and similarly executed.

perfect representation of America as far as I can see

We can only hope that Donny’s last breath is live on tv.

This is a great example of where people like Pete Hegseth (who is inherently corrupt) cloak their identity with religious morality to disguise their truest intentions.

It’s a shame because there are great people who are religious who get cast into the same net as this, but there are definitely others who (incorrectly) believe that a specific set of incantations will absolve them of serious, unethical behaviour.

USA, Iran, Afghanistan, countries where people are executed publicly. Next, USA will begin with public hanging and leaving body for 24 hours.

Only way this could get better for Hegseth is if he got to dress Hasan in Venezuelan fishermen clothes, or an Iranian schoolgirl uniform.

If you watch this, you’re a massive piece of shit.

Preach the New Testament, practice the Old.

Normalizing tyranny and fascism, color me unsurprised. Next it'll be sharia law - christian version.

Remember my mother letting me sit up and watch the Ceaușescu trial when I was perhaps 11.

Don't think she reckoned that they (Norwegian state broadcaster NRK) would also show the execution. Remember they (ex-dictator and wife) were lined up against a wall, then fell down and a man in a white coat checked them.

Yes, but this is what America voted for. Not because most Americans want it but because most Americans are simply too wrapped up in themselves to care.

The trailer park administration.

So this is what we've come to.

Shamelessly reposting clip I stole from another thread: https://youtu.be/qDO6HV6xTmI

“Please don’t pay attention to Trump’s declining poll numbers, upcoming election losses, inflation, war, pants shitting, the fact that he’s in the Epstein files, etc. etc. etc.”

They’re just going to keep upping the ante as they lose power because all they have is distractions from the reality they created.
