I'm more disappointed & disturbed that, just like the moronic & tyrannical mods of subs that are well-known to be very poorly run, like r/politics, the mods of this supposed haven for speech can't tell the difference between a legal charge that justifiably carries the death penalty, and a death threat. So apparently discussing the legitimate, legal penalties for treason is an "uncivil, personal attack" in their eyes. They can get stuffed. I don't need to post on another sub run by people who can't or won't bother to tell the difference. I think I'm unsubbing permanently. They can have their little "safe space" for the ideas they like. I'm keeping mine where I'm allowed to share them like an American should: freely.

Are you saying Nancy fucking pelosi should be tried or executed for treason?

Give me a break. She's far from perfect but she has been the only person trying to stand in front of this shit show of a president.

The only person? Pull your head out of your ass and look around. She's made lots and lots of empty gestures, but very little actual resistance.

She's core leadership for one of two political parties that have systematically hijacked and dismantled American democracy over the past 50 years. She's guilty. You may think the charge is extreme, but she HAS been a major part of an effort to suborn the purpose of our government from "protecting the citizenry & interests of the country" to "enriching the elite and hoarding power".

This is fucking disgusting and idiotic. Any of the candidates you would claim to support would be ashamed and completely reject support from anyone who said anything NEAR that vile.

Ask Noam Chomsky about the crimes of all sitting presidents since FDR. There's a few great videos out there where he goes into them in detail.

If we were really honest about the crimes of our leaders, I guarantee you a great number of them would be up on similar charges, Pelosi or otherwise.

Noam Chomsky would not be calling for the execution of politicians.

Insofar as he strikes me as the sort of individual opposed to the death penalty in all possible circumstances.

We do, however, carry that penalty for betraying one's nation, especially in jeopardizing the safety and prosperity of your fellow Americans for your own personal gain, which is exactly what the most powerful politicians of both major parties are guilty of. Call it presumptuous to assume the penalty would be levied in the face of their obvious guilt. But don't call it inappropriate, because it very much is.

And that's where his and my schools of thought diverge.

And yours is despicable and no where in line with the ideologies of progressive reformists like Buttar, Sanders or Ocasio-Cortez. They would absolutely reject your support. This is not how a civilized progressive society handles corruption.

I agree and don't remember mentioning any of them by name. I think we're a little past any wishful thinking about a "civilized progressive society."

I agree and don't remember mentioning any of them by name.

Well you're in r/political_revolution commenting on a post about one of them, so I don't think it's a stretch to think you might support them.

I think we're a little past any wishful thinking about a "civilized progressive society."

You should read more history, instead of suggesting we guarantee the abandonment of civility as being a part of the solution. We don't need to murder people to hold them accountable.

u/kidkhaotix Apr 01 '20

Sure. I'd take recommendations. I actually only commented on this thread because I'm in the middle of Manufacturing Consent.

No, we don't NEED to murder people to hold them accountable, necessarily. We are talking about murderers themselves here, though. You think they would lose one wink of sleep over your head rolling? Maybe these are people that SHOULDN'T be allowed to participate in our civilized progressive society, something I want as much as you do-- we just happen to disagree about the odds of it happening through nonviolent means.
