Should we crucify trash people?
Say we constructed an X on the White House lawn and we strapped Donald Trump to it and we just let him die there from whatever causes. Is that wrong?
How about we put some tech Bros next to him? The thieves and the liars? Mark Zuckerberg and Elon musk?
What are we waiting for? There’s infinite X’s.

The problem with executions is not the power to execute “trash people”.
The problem is that you create a legal institution who is allowed to make that decision and to do it. People. People who can dislike you and declare you “trash people”.
The only way to win that game is to not play it.

You’re right. And besides, there’s definitely no negative consequences from letting them get away with everything and die happy and content in their beds after a full and rewarding life of greedily stealing, raping, and destroying society. Definitely our parents and grandparents refusal to put up some X’s isn’t the reason things are the way they are or anything.
