It’s not an assassination. It’s an execution. Assassination makes it sound like this guy is some kind of martyr instead of a mass murderer, which he is. That’s what he’s being executed for. Doesn’t make execution a good thing and it’s definitely fucked up that they’re televising it and using a firing squad, but it’s not an assassination.
He is being executed by a state that is a self-proclaimed enemy of Islam. This execution, if it plays out, will be used to radicalize non-state actors, amd incite acts of terror against the US.
The nuances and semantics won’t matter, any more than it matters to MAGA that Charlie Kirk’s assassin was right-wing.
Hopefully we’ll come to our collective senses before then, and just imprison him for life.
Who the fuck thinks that word has been censored for 15 years? It’s only been a few years where that kind of censorship has been common.
Yeah but the last two years have been at least a decade.
Yep, an it was the capitalists under the excuse of protecting children/teenagers/minors.
People shouldn’t be censored for mentioning suicide. The way most of the internet handles any mention of it is a bit silly. Like, I don’t think sending an automated bunch of links to resources is gonna be helpful when your cry for help was removed and you’re back to being alone.
It’s fine to talk about suicide.
Won’t anyone think of the marketers? Can you imagine having your brand name sullied in an internet meme just because someone dies? It’s unthinkable!
God forbid human communication be human centric. We have to protect the brand integrity of the companies waging war against our insecurities. Better to send some links, shift liability, and delete the offensive posts.
Not to mention how anti-intellectualism is encouraged and fighting amongst each other is ignored. But if you say something politically motivated or hurtful to big tech’s interests, now that’s a problem.
I mean I just got accused of being a ‘rage bait’ bot on another platform for expressing a pretty reasonable opinion.
Fuck 'em
I think the main reason its happening at all is because tiktok shadow banned for it, and youtube did too. If everyone hears their favorite influencer saying “Sewer Slide” or “unalive” eventually thats just the word for it.
I dont think anyone except those desiging platforms care at all, and they onky care because advertisers
People shouldn’t be censored for
a lot of thingsanything. Can we agree to stop playing the turn a blind eye to reality game? The older I get the more I get sick and tired of that shit. My comment got auto modded because I wrote that someone called me a fg-t in public. Great success?It helps to take pride in speaking your mind in the way you feel comfortable with. If you get banned or get backlash or whatever, fuck it. I agree that self-censoring has become way too extreme and tbh I blame the shitty corporations who punished people for going against their arbitrary terms and narratives, and bowing down to them.
Edit: I want to make it clear I’m not talking about hate speech, etc. I just mean not being a slave to what others think of you. And allowing yourself to get backlash or banned or whatever here and there. Stand on your principles, as long as you aren’t an objective piece of human garbage.
I can see that. I would rather see people for who they really are.
Like you state, this cookie cutter Disney version of TV shows really postures that notion. Okay, maybe I did have a wide variety of friends like the shows are ironically but it wasn’t like a TV show. I mentioned this in a few posts now but it’s like my friend that was Asian had her car keyed with–racial term for an Asian person–and does me censoring really do anything? My friend from Lebanon, his mom made the best food, had death threats after 9/11, with all the terminology that came with that. One of my friends got picked on and they called vinegar with a drawn out pronunciation and well of course they didn’t get in trouble.
Worse yet, I had students that would say knee-growth, which was odd to hear because a coworker had cancer in his knee–which I didn’t think was possible. And well that degraded to n-wah as in n-word. So we’re back in full circle. And I mean I had to read aloud, huckleberry finn, so n-word city before the edited version. At at the end of the day, are we accomplishing anything by saying n-word, f-word, r-word?
I’m sorry, what?
Trump is going to livestream a murder by firing squad, because that’s what the dictators he desperately wants approval from do.
You could’ve googled by the time you posted this. Downvoted.
You could have just said nothing and moved on, but you decided to be you.
Yeah, you got a problem with my presence? Freedom of speech. Respect my right!
Just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should.
This is such a redditor comment T.T
‘Heh pushes up glasses you know you could have googled that snuffles rather than seeking human interaction in a comment section’
What exactly do you expect a person who has just seen this meme to search?
I have just DDG’ed “host video of assassination” as an experiment and it found nothing.
I Qwant to search for the correct information but I get results I don’t Qwant. Thank you for your service.
remember that live-streaming murder is fine but god beware somebody posts an exposed nipple
A drag queen is somewhere nearby! Quick, distract your children with this family friendly, televized execution by firing squad!
Phew, that was close! Those kids almost got traumatized by seeing something inappropriate!
Or putting a knee down during the anthem
Thank you for the context of OP’s missing.
I would have been lost if not for your comment.Or says anything other than “grape”
America is a fucking cluster fuck.
Somehow my brain interpreted “fucking clusterfuck” as something related to fried chicken. My brain thought “cluck,” the sound a chicken makes. It is fun to live in my brain sometimes.
Ah you’re thinking of a fustercluck
Now that reminds me of Fuddruckers (does that restaurant still exist?) and I nominate FUSTERCLUCK as name of a new family-friendly, sit-down, FRIED CHICKEN restaurant. 🐔 🍗
Holy fuck, they are live broadcasting an execution. That is literally a George Carlin skit.
And the guy is in a wheelchair too. It’s grotesque.
Carlin was our prophet! I miss him so much.
I’ve found more faith in his words than any religious figure. He wasn’t a prophet so much as a historian of how stupid and fucked up humanity is.
Content mods ONLY care about advertiser revenue and will bend over for every dollar. If hosting this gets clicks they’ll do it. This isn’t the face they’ll make.
Recently became aware of advertising companies restricting their ads from being shown next to artwork of two characters kissing, it’s insane. Freedom on the internet is now threatened by ad agencies. They are actively monitoring peoples artwork for this…
These “ automated mods” being used by Reddit, Threads, among the many other social media forums have basically ruined their own intended purpose of allowing Free Speech for the masses! Basically useless overmoderated garbage, while posting murder, suicides, hate and death on their sites and expecting us to stay political correct! HYPOCRITES!
Thigs now allowed in America: Gang rape, livestream executions.
Gang rape has always been around. Just not always livestreamed.
Do the stations have to broadcast it? Can’t they just say ‘we think it is reprehensible to turn an execution into a public spectacle’?
Yes, but the people running the FCC are petty and will punish them for it. Still, it’s an obvious PR win to take a morale stand over this.
No. They will have an open and shut case under the first amendment to choose not to broadcast. We still largely have the freedom of speech in this country, such as it is.
I wonder how many will actually show any spine, though. Google has so far been very accommodating to Trump with the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario, so I fear YouTube will stream it.
Specifically freedom from compulsory speech, in this case. The freedom to not be forced to say something has a much better track record than the freedom to say what you want.
We’d really like it if all of your affiliate stations would broadcast this. It would be a shame if your license renewal got held up in review.
That’s why I only watch assassination vids on watchpeopledie, where it belongs.
Huh?
I don’t think that addresses the question. At least not the question that led me to go “huh?” when I saw this.
Which is that…yeah, the US is going to be murdering a dude on livestream. But what has that got to do with “content mods” who now “have to host” a video?
Where you think this going be live stream from? Broadcast Tv? No this will be on Twitch, YouTube etc. Hence the words live streamed.
I’m sorry, the US government is live streaming a guy’s execution ON TWITCH?? This feels like a Florida man headline
It turns out when you elect Florida man as the president you get a lot of Florida man headlines from the executive branch.
Well yeah we literally have a florida man as president now so…
Nothing I have seen has said anyone will be “forced” to host it. They’ll find some platform that is specifically willing to promote fascism.
They’ll find some platform that is specifically willing to promote fascism.
So almost every major social media platform and probably a handful of streaming platforms?
Sure, maybe. Still doesn’t change the fact that nobody has yet presented (or even attempted to present) an explanation for the bizarre description in the post.
It’s not that bizarre, you’re just splitting hairs over the precise wording of a meme you’ve decided to take way too seriously.
With this adminstration the “or else” is implied.
So they either accept that they have to host Hegseth’s murder porn, or else the orange man will find a way to make them suffer.
Yes, because Google and Amazon are such staunch opponents of fascism that they’ll need to be forced.
They are probably already shopping advertising deals for it
This state-sanctioned murder was brought to you by BetterHelp.
Pretty sure they could just stream a webcam to the white house website without a video sharing platform needing to be involved.
They can’t go with white house website because that requires to build up a lot of infrastructure and expertise they don’t have in very short period of time for just one (hopefully) occasion.
Yeah but they aren’t going want to do that way. They either want the major network to do it streaming services. We don’t even know weather they are going want to charge for it yet.
Thats just nonsense, what idiots are upvoting this. Its either not gonna happen at all or will be on some shit like truth social that is directly under trumps control.
No yeah, this is nonsense. Just as nonsense as the last nonsense thing… that happened. And the one before that. And the one before that. And the one before that. And the one before that. And the…
Like at some point you have to realize there is no depth to which the world won’t sink
Look back at the last 10 years
If you told someone from 10 years ago how the world looked like now, would they believe you? Or call it nonsense and call you and idiot for believing it?

It’s also not an assassination. This is the dumbest meme I’ve seen today.
Politically motivated murder, close enough
For a second I was quite worried for Mr.Piker
Wtffff
I miss CORN, NIPNOPS, ACCOUNTANTS and PEW PEWS
Accountants?
For whatever reason, sex workers are called euphemistically “accountants”.
🎶 “Nobody asks you questions when you say you’re an accountant” 🎶
Learn something every day. Thanks
We need to be allowed to talk about accountants online again. Because calling them managers and accountants sounds weird
That’s a good point.
