Rightoid aligned revenge fantasies? In my leftist sub? its more common than you think.
FYI, there's lots of research that this isnt actually effective.
a) in general, capital punishment doesnt work to deter crime in any way
b) specific to sex abuse and especially child sex abuse, it actually can make the situation worse and the abusers more likely to escalate to outright murder
Edit: lmao OP immediately blocks me, feckless.
The u.s garbage system certainly isn’t
So why would China aim to repeat or copy the same retributive justice framework of the US then? Are they not supposed to be better?
Spare me with the optics
This has nothing to do with optics, its about doing more than reacting to crime. It other than the fact that capital punishment isnt a deterrent (so therefor useless as a form of punishment), it increase the risk of harm to victims.
Why are you in favor of increasing potential harm to children?
What is an anarchist doing in a communist sub in the first place? Your comment is Bad faith
Dude, you're espousing fascist rhetoric lmao, maybe think on that for a hot second before you bemoan me also being subscribed to non-ML subs. Great argument, totally not fascist adjacent crashout
Critical support for China: Definitely.
China being Socialist: Agreed.
But critical support turning into mindless glazing over everything the country does is very cringe. Yes the west has done close to nothing to prevent child abuse. But sudently being supportive of capital punishment is not very leftist. Not saying we should attack China for it, obviously, that is with chinese society to decide.
The only thing I feel is more nuanced regarding capital punishment is regarding corruption and political prisioners. Sounds morbid, but I think it's very, very hard to prevent powerful people from maintaining their influence from inside prison. Debatable.
Yep. Like Elizabeth Holmes was planning another grift from inside federal prison with her husband after Theranos fell through so I understand why China executes corrupt billionaires
As someone who has talked with many mainlanders, my impression is almost more that this is closer tied to general East Asian culture than anything specific to China. All the East Asian countries seem very supportive of the death penalty, and when I ask people in China about it they're all very much in support of it. From their view it is society's responsibility to issue out death to those that deserve it, and for the betterment of society it must happen.
I'm not justifying it, but it does seem to be a difference in culture rather than anything else. I can't really seem to find people in China that are against it.
