American Politics IX: Winter is Coming

[Vystercia-Nasucrea]

I'm for putting them in an Alaskan exile, though not a proper gulag. Bundle up, Bezos, and grow out your hair!

[Vystercia-Nasucrea]

This. I associated "pink" with non-Leninist leftists.

Man but I hate pink...

Although I'm not a fan of red either.

Wish Leftists had gone with blue instead.

*sigh*

Well, it is the color of blood and catches the eye. Red, that is.

In all seriousness, if you're a politician and you're caught purposefully making decisions that enhance your stock portfolio, you should go to prison. Corruption should be punished with the same level of severity as murder, as it puts countless lives in danger.

Madame Guillotine is the solution.

I appear to be the least murderous political fantasist lmao since I'd only put my enemies to work farming taters lol.

I don't believe in the death penalty. They aren't any danger in prison.

Well, they come with their own manure, so that might be the best answer after all.

[The Jamesian Republic]

I’ve been working on a joke.

A socialist and a conservative sees Biden Pelosi Schumer etc.

“You are radical leftists!” The conservative shouts to them.
“Hahahahaha, that’s funny. Go to gulag.” The socialist says to them.

So, the thing about jokes is, they're funny.

I’m not a comedian anyway. I have virtually no sense of humor.

No. I’m the least murderous political fantasist. I don’t even think about what I would do with my enemies. Well except maybe make them drink dirty water and withholding medical aid unless they do what I tell them to do but otherwise, I’m fine.

Why use work camps or gulags when you can just make them work retail? It might not make them kinder, but they’ll be flinching at the mere thought of Mariah Carey on the radio.

[Prima Scriptura]

This would put a lot of politicians in jail.

Sure, and then we can weaponize Mariah Carey’s music and use it to make politicians do what we want.

Forcing people to work retail might go under 'cruel and unusual punishment'.

But sending them to work camps and gulags or killing them is fine?

I worked retail recently. I cannot tell you how miserable I was.

What's the downside again?

Prison overcrowding.

Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy tbh.

I would, imagine how funny it'd be to see Mitch McConnell working at Walmart.

I hope you don't consider me an enemy.

I’m always really nice to retail workers. Always asking them how their day is and saying “thank you” and “have a good day”.

Correct. Torture for the sake of torture is for psychopaths.
Execution 'can' be justified as a means to discourage similar behavior, currently though Capital Punishment excludes the rich from said punishment, which is ironic because if you shoot someone you get executed but if your company leaks toxins into a town's water supply you get a thousand dollar fine after a lawsuit and no charges.

I can settle for the worst climate criminals being stripped of all their wealth and sentenced to a decade of hard labor for their crimes, at least that would be SOMETHING.

So, hear me out. Term limits, but they reset after you spend 5 years working an 'unskilled' hourly-wage job.

And I appreciate customers like you, but more often than not, I was treated like dog shit that got stuck to someone's shoe, for the most minor of things. I cannot count how many shitty people I meet.

That's also a good point. My position was hardly unskilled as I literally needed computer skills for the role I had.

I think he would make a good greater.
