US livestreams execution, draws condemnation
3m
The United States drew condemnation after livestreaming an execution, which critics said placed it alongside Iran and Afghanistan in broadcasting capital punishment.
This execution, for the fascists, isn’t about Hasan. It’s a public ritual of counteracting failures with Iran and communicating that both leftists and Muslims will not be tolerated.
The message is simple: we control death and you don’t want to wear the blindfold.

Public executions, including lynchings and mob violence, are always focused on larger messages about control and power, and what we are experiencing, both with this firing squad and daylight killings by ICE, is the normalization of fascistic state power owning the right to life and death.

It isn’t a coincidence that Hegseth has greenlit the murder of an “Islamist” while the US loses a war with Iran and the Right continues to fear a leftist/Muslim takeover.
The execution is a cult ritual in which the subject is transformed from an individual to a larger concept.

Public executions are conducted by terrible regimes in Afghanistan, Iran,& North Korea.I support the death penalty in general & in this case in particular, but our soldiers should not be live streamed conducting an execution.It's not who we are as a military or a nation. tinyurl.com/jhb8t2mf

Fascism is grounded in creating in and out groups in which rights and protections and spoils and even life itself is the property of the former while the latter can be degraded and abused and murdered without consequence at any moment.
This execution is a milestone along the road to that.

Een middeleeuwse publieke executie in het BigTech-tijdperk, zodat de hele wereld kan meekijken. Dit is zo walgelijk, geen woorden voor.
Verontrustend ook dat NOS en RTL hierover zo matter-of-fact berichten, alsof het gewoon nieuws is. Zonder duiding van bv een mensenrechtenadvocaat.

Pete Hegseth says Americans will be able to watch a Trump-approved firing-squad execution.
If he follows through, the U.S. could join a disturbing club of countries known for public executions—including Iran, Afghanistan, and North Korea.
