“Death penalties should be public, should be quick, it should be televised. I think at a certain age, its an initiation…What age should you start to see public executions?” Kirk asked.
Kirk, along with his co-hosts Jack Posobiec, Tyler Bowyer and Blake Neff, continued to discuss at what age should children watch the public executions, with one co-host pointing out as young as 12 years old.
Tonight on the Execution Channel!
How should we execute this homosexual? Vote now. Calls charged at $5 a minute, minimum charge $5.
They know they have to normalize public execution before they can openly hang the disobedient handmaids on the wall.
Charlie Kirk needs a beshaving to make his face the right size.
Wait,
his wiki says he’s against the death penalty?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Kirk
Did he say these things facetiously?
The foot note on that page links to this interview from 2019. The only comment in the interview about the death penalty is. “I don’t agree with the president on the death penalty, I don’t agree with him on marijuana, I don’t agree with him on Saudi Arabia, there are things I don’t agree with, but that doesn’t mean I should be less enthused about what he’s doing to revitalize the country.” Trump is, and was at the time, very much pro-death penalty.
However, there is no detail at all or follow up question clarifying this. I can’t find any other source suggesting that Kirk used to be anti-death penalty. Either this was a misstatement in this interview or he has completely reversed his position since giving it.
It’s not something he is saying facetiously. You can see the clip here.
Edit to add, I did find another source. This tweet from 2017 states, “Death penalty is more expensive than life in prison. Far too often we kill the wrong person. Conservatives should oppose the death penalty.” I gather he has since changed his mind.

Hehe.
Conservatives straight up stealing notes from ISIS.
It’s how he was raised, and he turned out fine!
let’s desensitize them to violence as early as possible, WCGW.

It’s a death cult.
Yes, Christianity is an apocalyptic death cult.
Abrahamic faiths all worship the God of death.
Bunch of psychopaths
We can’t let kids see gay things! But watching someone get murdered is totally cool.
Well, they need to be shown the consequences of what happens if you do gay things, of course.
If Trump gets back in and they implement that “Project 2025” where they plan to fire 50k government workers and replace them with far right wingnuts, I can envision such a future.
Alito just signaled that they’re not satisfied with just overturning Roe, he’s gunning to overturn Obergefel. I wonder which states it’ll be unsafe to travel through for fear of not being able to see my SO if they get hurt and have to go to the hospital. I wonder if any states will try to ban people with gay marriages from entering.
America is a country of violent prudes. There’s a reason we rate violent movies lower than movies with “sexual content”.
That Puritan founding. Funny hats make you crazy.

Yep. Beheading where the head flies all over the place? No problem, 12+.
Hint of a single tit? Freakout, 18+!
Pg13 has gone off the rails since I was a kid. Like on-camera gun suicides with chunks, among other things. Meanwhile half the R films I watch don’t even have blood anymore blood. Basically pg13 means high violence and R means the tiniest hint that something sexual could maybe happen off screen. I don’t get it at all
I think it’s gotten even more weird because there seems to be a certain brand of feminism (lost track of which wave is anti-porn, and not sure if this is the same group - but, honestly, it’s hard to distinguish the outcome from conservative busybodies, if you are going to be honest) seem to go on and on about the “male gaze”, so even things like slashers don’t have bewbs in them. I guess so they get a PG-13 ratiing even though they may have quite a bit of violence in them (but no T&A, by god!)
These are the same people that harped on things like Game of Thrones, too, for showing bewbs and sometimes a bit of pubes - but apparently being ultraviolent was not a problem.
You’re forgetting language. Cursing is treated nearly the same as sexual content. Throw a couple fucks in and the movie is rated R even without violence or sexual content.
Right one fuck is pg-13, R is 2 or more.
I don’t have any fucks left to throw.
I went out fuck shopping and there’s no fucks left to buy!
I wonder what a flying tit would be rated at.
A country founded by prudes… according to Eurotrip.
A country where a man is forced to make sex to only one woman at a time and one must learn the woman’s name beforehand!
What? Polyamory is very popular here, especially among men in my area. They’re just on the DL with it instead of living authentically.
It’s a quote from Eurotrip which the person I was responding to referenced.
Rofl! I don’t have TV or subscribe to services, hence my confusion. Thanks for the explanation, I am wearing a stupid-wide grin!
George Carlin called it. Maybe they need to put it on pay-per-view to balance the budget.

The flaw in your logic is that you expect the GOP to have any amount of consistency in their own logic.
They already do. It’s called school shootings. They have drills and everything. It’s quite fucked up.
I would MUCH rather my Children watch a Public Execution then watch two MEN hold HANDS!
I guarantee this comment gets reported because Lemmy can’t sarcasmm
Why does the order of events matter so much to you?
We should start with Charlie Kirk.
