What do you mean by an unwitting getaway driver? "I didn't know they were committing armed robbery, They told me to pull over so they could pick up some pop and snacks."
For me its about cultural respect. I think just about about every Native American culture had the death penalty pre contact. In fact the more you look at it, the more you realise that death penalty abolition is very much a White thing and not just a White thing but what lefties would call a White Capitalist thing. It didn't come out of Muslim, Confucian, Hindu or Pagan African Cultures. All the countries that have abolished it have been western or have had their original pristine cultures, compromised by western so called capitalist values.
The Soviet Union never abolished the death penalty. Communist China never abolished the death penalty. Cuba still has the death penalty, although there's no doubt it has gone a bit soft since Fidel left us, and has been compromised by "Liberal Capitalist" values.
I've been thinking about how to explain Cultural Marxism to people in simple terms. And I realised that Cultural Marxists are just like the traditional Marxists of the Cold War. Nothing they say can be taken in good faith.
Western Commies campaigned against the death penalty, while the Soviet Union executed people willy nilly.
Western Commies campaigned for civil rights and due process, while the Soviet Communist party ruled with an unchallengeable iron fist.
Western Commies campaigned for gay rights while the Soviet Union and Cuba locked them up.
Western Commies demanded disarmament while the Soviet Union and Red China engaged in the greatest military build up the world had ever seen.
Western Commies demanded self determination and independence, while the Soviet union and Red china were the prison houses of nations.
Western Commies demanded all US troops must come home, while little Cuba sent troops into Algeria, Syria, Congo, Angola, Ethiopia.
