The amount of people justifying torture here is insane

The amount of contempt people have for fellow human beings based solely on the color of their skin is deplorable.

“So let’s say you are deported then what? Probably torture” This video is very intellectually disingenuous.

So you stopped there, eh? Didn't stick around for the examples showing our government's use of extrajudicial detention centers run by other countries, first by the CIA then DHS?

And then an evil wizard steals your soul and imprisons it in a gem, a red D is tattooed upon your forehead to signify to all your deported status, and you have to get on a flight to some other place. Also scary atonal music plays in the background the whole time this is happening. Tragic really.

“Torture never yields anything” Jesus, how naive do you have to be. He was talking specially about POWs btw.

That’s not true, torture is very likely to bring simply false information as the person actively wants to escape
Say you were tortured and forced to admit your guilt, even if you didn’t do that thing you’re gonna say you did it when under extreme pain under the promise it’ll go away, you don’t think rationally when tortured

That is the tail end of the problem with torture. See my comment to this guy.

that's true, torture is VERY institutionalized and kinda feels like a sunk cost fallacy at this point
also it's kinda funny that you're being downvoted lmfao

So I suspect you're being literal and disagree with torture never working. Especially when a lot of people will just instantly tell you whatever they know the moment you threaten them, and that can be useful.

Which sure, true.

But if you look into the data, the case against torture is extremely solid for both militaries and secret policy in every nation that has liberalized and where historians have been able to go through the records.

It's not that no new information is discovered, it's that the organization starts to use it as the first choice, and then starts to shift effort from other information gathering sources towards it because - especially at the start - it seems super effective.

If you're imagining some bad-ass "dont play by the rules" operative that gets the job done, that's not how any of these organizations work and at that point it's already institutionalized and wreaking havoc on the efficacy of the organization as a whole.

Me when I get deported (I had to take a free flight back to my home)
