Yes, Reddit's "watchpeopledie" forum was very instructive in just how damn good we have it in the West, and how precious it is and how much we need to protect our society from enemies foreign and domestic.
On /r/watchpeopledie I saw a 16-year-old girl doused with gasoline and burned to death because she was accused of being with a gang that killed a local taxi driver in a mugging, a group of four young men bashed with rocks and set on fire because they were accused of stealing a laptop, and elementary-school children going around an abandoned building murdering tied up men in some kind of ISIS propaganda video. I've seen a woman in Iran hanged by being pulled up from a crane, starting to kick her feet slowly and then wildly and then stopping. A guy in Mexico having his heart cut out while he was alive in front of his son, and then the same happening to the son. A group of women stripped naked and shot in the head in some kind of cartel video. A guy told that he was being released and to turn away, and then used for target practice with some kind of heavy artillery - he essentially exploded when they hit him.
All that shit is out there, and most Americans who have never seen anything worse than a mean Tweet have no idea about it.
- autoexec 4y agoThere's something very chilling about watching a video of a mob stoning someone to death and noticing some of the people cheering and filming are using iphones. It seems like a horrifying anachronism but it's just how things are now.
