    To be fair, both ISIS and the cartels go out of their way to come up with the most cartoonishly evil execution methods. Not that the American state doesn’t either considering lethal injection and all the black site torture, but at least the mob just shot, stabbed, and garroted people without any funky town beheading nonsense

      Yeah the reality is that those cartoonishly evil execution methods were pioneered by counter-insurgents and anti-communists to spread horror on the third world, and they soon found themselves out of a job and quickly picked up by blooming criminal enterprises.

        Just like how nazis found jobs doing anti leftist counterinsurgency in Latin America, it is an old tradition of capitalism to use broken people to break more people
