It says a lot about shitlib sensibilities that caning is a bridge too far yet an "uprising of the people" like the BLM riots is "a voice for the oppressed." These people are your enemy and want to see your entire civilization fall apart.
Fun fact: This is why shinai, kendo sticks, are used as weapons in pro wrestling to this day.
Paul Heyman's ECW booked a match between Tommy Dreamer and Jim "The Sandman" Fullington where the loser had to get beaten with a "Singapore cane," actually a bamboo kendo stick, to capitalize on how big a national news story this was.
Dreamer lost, took his punishment like a champ, and the fans got even more behind him for it.
It became the Sandman's signature weapon for the rest of his career, and other wrestlers continue to imitate this, including some women, such as AEW's Hikaru Shida. It's largely due to the loud SNAP it makes upon contact--it sounds worse than it hurts.
Eh, TBF i feel that specific example has more to do with the stigma against physical punishment.
The west has a massive stigma against any form of direct physical punishment. Which is why the only punishments we have are various forms of confinement, monetary fines, or forced service. Yes there is the death penalty as well but even that has been heavily fought over (rightly and wrongly).
I remember this one. The kid was an entitled brat, he FAFO the hard way.
He was more than old enough to know what he was doing.
iirc he was sentenced to 20 lashes, in 5 sets of 4? Because each lash will leave a HUGE welt & probably break the skin too. It got reduced to a lower number, and iirc he really did get 4 before the diplomats "rescued him".
He spent 'hard time' in jail too. Good! Every vandal should get the same.
It was a foreshadowing of what the leftists would become: glorify criminals no matter how pathetic they were, demand 2-teir "justice" based on ever-changing criterium.
Yeah, I looked it up and it was only 6, then reduced.
Perhaps the normal penalty was 20? But he only got 6 because he was American? He was 18 when he did it, and 19 for the trial, so he wasn't "a kid" anymore, even if by maturity he was still 11 😑
the part that pissed me off as a kid was his supposed argument that if he had known the punishment was so severe, he would never have done it, as though that was supposed to justify leniency.
Then again, i heard it was ten, not six, so take what i say with a pinch of salt.
People don't like being told they need to put in effort and be skeptical of garbage being spoon fed to them. They just want to passively accept whatever someone else will tell them, especially if it already aligns with what they believe and gives them an opportunity to feel righteous.
Reminder that Bill Clinton is a violent serial rapist, whose victims all corroborated the same story of him tearing through their lips with his teeth and making them bleed as he raped them.
Take away the fact that he was president and don't even think about him being a democrat- what would you think about a person that has done this not just once, but multiple times?
It's kind of boring how this board/community/subforum is just a general social commentary space for shit that has nothing to do with GAMERS RISING UP, like WTF does a White-ish looking American delinquent in Singapore in 1994 getting 4 caning lashes have to do with any current-day things other than arbitrarily bringing up George Floyd in 2025?
It's because so few places like this exist online where discussions like this can be discussed relatively freely that a generalist approach serves it better than pigeonholing the discussion to an event from a decade ago already extensively covered.
Because it shows just how far back the leftist's plans go: this was all on purpose, AstroTurfed, created by a Central Committee designed to de-stabilize Western Society.
There is nothing grassroots or spontaneous about leftism. It's all by conspiracy. Here's an example.
I know that, but what the fuck purpose does this out of-context YouTube comment where we don't even know what video it comes from do to help communicate that coherently? Showing this YouTube comment randomly on a KiA board seems useless.
And I could tell that originally c/KotakuInAction was the general "GamerGate/anti SJW gamers" board and c/KotakuInAction2 was where people from that crowd would be more encouraged to talk about specific politics, but "KiA1" died off and no longer has any new posts since a few years back.
I know it is important to discuss these issues outside of "purely politics" spaces, I know it is important to "radicalize" gamers to literally rise up in other areas, but I don't see how shouting into the void randomly without context helps, especially when there is an excessive amount of this material when browsing on this board. But hey at least I got two people upvoting me, not including myself. I don't have myself upvoted here.
Yes he was. In 2015 he was sentenced to 1000 lashes total, 50 at a time every (apparently) second month for ~8+ years.
As of 2020 he was still in jail, doing hard time! But only got 50 lashes back in 2015.

...funny enough, i'd argue the lash is far less cruel than the cage...
In some cases I might agree, though it depends on who is doing it, and what is being used.
well, i'm mildly claustrophobic, so that may bias my opinion slightly, lmao.
This type of "archaic punishment" is what brownoid countries have to do to have some semblence of western society
Stone age problems require stone age solutions

I read about this case in criminal justice class in school.
He was sentenced to be flogged, six lashes, later reduced to four as a response to the outrage. Flogging is known as "caning" in Singapore.
He deserved six. FAFO indeed.
Yeah, I looked it up and it was only 6, then reduced.

One article said he got scars from it. Good!

A .jpg of a youtube comment from god only knows what. How compelling and insightful.
I got fourteen downvotes (and two upvotes) for communicating basically the same thing.

You must be a yogi with some of the reaches you make.

Isn’t Raif Badawi sentenced to 50 lashes every month for the next 50 years because he insulted the saudi royal family?
Yes he was. In 2015 he was sentenced to 1000 lashes total, 50 at a time every (apparently) second month for ~8+ years.
As of 2020 he was still in jail, doing hard time! But only got 50 lashes back in 2015.
What was this YouTube comment from?
