Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
An AI video of Christopher Pelkey forgave his killer in court in what officials believe was the first use of AI to deliver a victim impact statement.
There also seems to be an onus on the family of the victims to do a public show of forgiveness even hugging. I get that they may do it for their own relief but the way its paraded knowing full well they won't find justice rubs me the wrong way
Yeah, it's so fucked up how much emphasis is put on "forgiveness" in our culture. No matter how awful a person is, or what kind of horrible things they've done, or how little genuine remorse they actually show, we should always forgive, because "it is the right thing to do."
For real. Yet a lot of the same people would kick their child out if they came out as lgbt. Or support others doing so. Where the so called right thing there? Man should do one where the CEO shot by luigi says healthcare should be a right see how much ppl will swoon then
