The death penalty is always wrong.
Murder is not a punishment and once you've stripped her of her ill-got gains there is no longer any reason to kill her.

While I agree in principle I tend to think there are still unforgivable crimes and irredeemable people out there.

Then you don't agree.

I wasn't aware crime was about forgiveness.
I thought in-so-far as societies implemented systems of justice, their purpose was restitution and rehabilitiation.

No one gains anything from a person—irrespective their prior actions—being murdered and we all lose a bit of our soul each time a state execution is allowed to take place.

I really expected better from Vietnam, whose "quarantine at gunpoint" public health policies I heartily endorse.

Alright. I DON’T agree.

Alright. I DON’T agree.

You should; death as a post-hoc punishment is abhorrent and serves no one.

I still don’t agree.

I know, you're a terrible person.
We've established this.

I wouldn’t go that far, but since about 90% of the comments you’ve ever made on Lemmy are just you arguing over inconsequential things with random people, I’d wager you are.

What's Lemmy?

arguing over inconsequential things

I don't think people getting murdered by the state is "inconsequential", least of all for the murdered person.

What’s Lemmy?

Alright, my bad, I wasn’t looking at the instances. So I’ll expand that to Lemmy and kbin.

I don’t think people getting murdered by the state is “inconsequential”

None of what you’re arguing about really achieves anything. Nobody has changed their opinion because you argued with them, and because of how much of a dick you’re being, you’ve definitely killed the opportunity to have a proper discussion with people about it (which may have been able to convert more people to your side)

and because of how much of a dick you’re being, you’ve definitely killed the opportunity to have a proper discussion with people about it

Oh no, I'm being a dick about states murdering people.

Maybe if I put on a frilly dress and sipped tea with folks they wouldn't have such horrific opinions?

No need for that, maybe just coming to the realisation that some people have differing opinions to you and trying to change them isn’t a great way to spend your weekend.

Anyways this is the last time I’ll be replying to you otherwise I’d really just be a hypocrite. You’ll eventually figure it out, whether or not you listen to me
