Life imprisonment I have always felt is the crueler of the punishments. A stretched out monotony that makes a day last the rest of a lifetime that warps and mushes the brain.
But also I do still get making a statement out of the death penalty for direct statements of what a society will not accept.
It's not about cruelty. Its about keeping others safe from a very evil (Objectively) person. It's not about statements, either. It's about halting the spread of fascism.
It's not. The death penalty is suitable for things like genocide... Or even being a propagandist for crimes against humanity.
For example, the world would positively be a better place, if Elon Musk was executed for his aiding of crimes against humanity.
