Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

MODERATORS
Jones demonstrated his “compassion” for the mentally ill by all but declaring they don’t deserve it. “Put him in a mental institution, put him in a jail, and you guys figure it out,” Jones said, referring to the man MAGA seized upon as its latest pretext for authoritarianism. “But people having to duck and dive on the trains and the buses, walking through the street, this is one case, but this is happening all across the country.” Jones went on to complain that “billions of dollars” have been “given” to the homeless population and that “a lot of them don’t want to get the help that is necessary.”
That was followed by an outright call for murder, agreed to by all three cohosts.
BRIAN KILMEADE (FOX HOST): Or involuntary lethal injection.
JONES: Yeah.
KILMEADE : Or something. Just kill them.
Jones went on to complain that “billions of dollars” have been “given” to the homeless population and that “a lot of them don’t want to get the help that is necessary.”
If being “given billions of dollars” without doing anything productive is grounds for execution, Altman et al. better hop to it on finding a use for LLMs beyond ‘creative’ writing.
Hmmm good point!
Note that if you aren't currently homeless, the second you step put of line, they will ensure that you lose your paycheck, get evicted, get blacklisted, and join the list of undesirables eligible for execution. If being poor is all it takes to deserve lethal injection, there's no saving most Americans based on current economic conditions.
So… death panels?
That would at least include some kind of deliberation. This sounds more like Judge Dredd shit.
Pretty much, yes, complete with Judges - except they get to make up the laws, and summarily execute anyone they like because it's a lot harder to interrogate a corpse.
Yes, but for-profit, vindictive, ideologically driven death panels. In the MAGA mind this is infinitely better than expert public servants deciding how resources should be allocated.
The ill are actually conservative voters
It's not conservative voters themselves that are mentally ill. I fully believe a lot of them are too ignorant to realize that these are not jokes.
Being an authoritarian is a mental illness. It's marked by grandiosity and delusions. The authoritarian somehow believes they are better than other humans for no real arguable reason, and their delusion is that they have the right to do whatever they please.
It's a deadly serious psychological illness that has somehow become widespread and unchecked.
All MAGA are mentally ill, but not all mentally ill are MAGA.
These people need the full force of the law brought down on them.
They need the citizens to viciously shred them apart in the streets
Isn't that what happened a couple of days ago?
No that was just Nazi on Nazi crime
Just like they did in Nazi Germany back then.
Hitleriffic
258,000,000 isn't an easy body count to reach. Hitler managed 21m deaths. Stalin manged 20m. Chairman Mao currently holds the record at 40-80m deaths.
Don't believe for a single second those death counts were unintentional.
Ahh yes, how pro-life
