It’s objectively a horrible thing to do to anyone, for any reason, and inhuman and condemnable.
That all said, if you’re reading this and you’re married to someone advocating or supporting the execution of students and teens via assault rifles in the street, and a lot of people are angry about it, you should probably fucking leave.
I don’t know anything about the ex-wife or her involvement with anything, but I know the Nepalese ruling class have been flaunting their wealth and the videos going around showing kids getting shot in the head and slumping over as blood pours out of their bodies and their friends crying and trying to pull their limp bodies out of the line of fire, have been circulating and it made MY blood boil and I’m on the other side of the world.
I think maybe our “ruling class” in all nations need a wake-up call that they are our servants, not our masters.
I mean, if she’s committed crimes bad enough to warrant death I’m not gonna object to the killing itself, but still there would’ve been better execution methods than burning her alive. Hanging or firing squad, for example. Reveling in brutality is generally not something you want in a resistance movement.
What isn’t too much, but also creates the necessary drastic changes?
You know, kill or imprison those responsible for the people’s suffering, take or burn their stuff, etc. I’m in no way against violent revolution; I just believe even the worst people should get a relatively humane death when possible. Whether the billionaires and their lackies are killed or not really has no bearing on the end result; it’s the actual seizure of power (or threat thereof) that gets things done.
I don’t know, I have a damn hard time stopping to show this much consideration for those who have repeatedly proved they would never bother to do the same for me or mine.
Got burned alive for being a sadistic corrupt fascist living in luxury while the people starved? Sucks to suck, maybe the next one will think twice.
What really gets me is we only seem to ever have this hand wringing when it’s a rich person that meets a gruesome end.
Imagine if this person had instead been an ordinary person that did something horrible. Imagine there’s a child molester or a serial killer barricaded in their home, the police outside. They fire a flash bang inside, this causes the house to catch fire, and the monster ends up being burned alive. Would people be here lamenting this fact? No, they wouldnt. It is only when the rich and powerful meet gruesome ends that we start moralizing about vigilante justice. When a monster that isn’t rich meets a gruesome end through extrajudicial violence, no one bats an eye.
Oh I’m not at all upset about her meeting a gruesome end; it’s the part about deliberately inflicting that gruesome end that I’m complaining about. In your example it’d be an unintended consequence of something desirable (catching the serial killer), which is a whole different story. If the story was instead “corrupt PMs die inside parliament after protesters burn it down” it’d have been a lot more acceptable.
Nope. It’s impossible to intimidate the elites into submission through violence against them; you have to seriously threaten their power. The lesson the Nepalese ruling class will learn from this is to never fall under the protesters (though at this point “revolutionaries” is probably a more appropriate term), not to be better people. There is literally nothing productive about this.
Change comes from great struggle, usually quite bloody. The powers that be don’t want the change and try to stop it at every turn, hence why force is necessary. The people are the power, the Lord’s lead at the whim of the populace. Unhappy people makes for a bad time for those at the top. A tale as old as time itself.
These protestors understand how change works. Good on ‘em.
🤨
My mind immediately went there.
Hoping France learns their methods in time for tomorrow’s protest 🙏
Immolation is too much, but in general yes.

It’s not ex-wife. It’s wife of ex-PM. As in the former first lady of Nepal, I guess, just as an analogy to US’s titles.
I think immolation is a good idea for the “ruling class” as the working class is struggling and dying daily.
The occupy Wallstreet really changed things for us, right?
Well, maybe not. I know plenty that immolation wouldnt be punishment enough

Billionaires won’t let you vote away their power, mind you.

Shoot them, THEN hang the wealthy for all the other bastards to see.
Sometimes you need to make an example.

They don’t need to be better people. They need to be put down.

What’s the over-under on this horrible woman doing the same to street urchins for fun?
Depends who we’re talking about
