Witnesses watched through a window at an Alabama prison as Kenneth Eugene Smith became the nation's first person to be put to death using nitrogen gas.
Oh yeah, I watched the episode of Veritasium about the scariest thing. That said, fighting death is kinda what living things do usually. That said, holding your breath to not suffocate is kinda the dumbest shit.
Emotionally I agree with you regarding Nuremberg, and Breivik, (and while I know that Quisling is synonymous with traitor I don’t actually know that but if history, so can’t agree or disagree).
The state exists due to its right to exercise violence and murder to impose its laws. USA exists due to the violence and killings it made to become independent, and it’s not alone in that origin story.
The US government were involved with at least 467 murders of civilians in Iraq in 2023 alone. Almost all governments with militaries are involved with murder one way or another, putting the line at convicted criminals seems like an arbitrary ethical line to me.
I’m against capital punishment myself, but that mostly due to the issues of cost and the court’s inability to make correct judgments 100% of the time.
State-sanctioned murder is never ok.
Yeah, but nobody is doing anything about it until now when it’s actually the way I specifically want to die because of how painless it is.
It becomes significantly more painful if you hold your breath until you pass out before inhaling the nitrogen.
So probably don’t do that part.

Never? All the executions that happened from the Nuremberg trials were wrong then?
I’m personally not shedding a tear for Quisling, nor would I have shed one if Anders Breivik had shared his fate.
Never.

The state should not be involved in murder.
