'Billionaire Palantir Co-Founder Pushes Return of Public Hangings as Part of 'Masculine Leadership' Initiative'

[sop]

"Venture capitalist Joe Lonsdale, a co-founder of data platform company Palantir, is calling for the return of public hangings as part of a broader push to restore what he describes as 'masculine leadership' to the US."

"In a statement posted on X Friday, Lonsdale said that he supported changing the so-called 'three strikes' anti-crime law to ensure that anyone who is convicted of three violent crimes gets publicly executed, rather than simply sent to prison for life."

“ 'If I’m in charge later, we won’t just have a three strikes law,' he wrote. 'We will quickly try and hang men after three violent crimes. And yes, we will do it in public to deter others.' "

"Lonsdale then added that 'our society needs balance,' and said that 'it’s time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable.' "

Men secure in themselves don't act like such assholes.

All the worst human traits are being encouraged by billionaires who want limitless power and money.

Barf.

20. Some people can't understand simple things.

Some persons that commit acts of violence and of other illegal and antisocial nature are not deterred by what the punishment is. In parts of the world where cutting off a hand or losing an eye as punishment has gone on for centuries the punishment hasn't stopped the people. There are one handed thieves walking the streets still. Here in most blood-thirsty parts of America kangaroo courts will quickly accuse and convict someone faster than the razing of the East Wing. They want a spectacle, nothing more. A hanging brings everyone into town, a great day for business.
