帕尔默·拉克利（Palmer Luckey）希望将死刑的执行过程公之于众，让公众能够亲眼看到这些残酷的场面。
Palmer Luckey wants to bring executions out from behind the curtain. The cofounder of Anduril weighed in on the case of Nidal Hasan, who was convicted of killing 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009.
作为 Anduril 公司的联合创始人，他对尼达尔·哈桑（Nidal Hasan）的案件发表了评论：哈桑因 2009 年在胡德堡军事基地杀害 13 人而被判有罪。
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that Hasan's execution would be livestreamed. President Donald Trump said he was still weighing the decision.
国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）表示，哈桑的死刑将被直播；而唐纳德·特朗普总统则表示仍在考虑这一决定。
Luckey said that he'd been "outspoken on wanting public executions for over a decade" — and that his position hadn't changed.
拉克利表示，自己十多年来一直公开主张公开执行死刑，并且这一立场从未改变。
"Executions should be public and brutal, not private and medicalized," Luckey wrote in a Sunday post on X. "They are the ultimate example of the state's monopoly on violence."
他在 X 平台上写道：“死刑应该公开且残酷地进行，而不是秘密地、以医疗化的方式执行；死刑正是国家垄断暴力的最典型体现。”
Voters need to be confronted with the hard truth of these state killings in every instance, Luckey wrote, so that they can have appropriate "confidence or revulsion in the institution."
他认为，选民必须面对这些由国家实施的杀戮行为，这样才能对政府产生适当的信任或反感。
It's not a new position; Luckey cites George Washington as an intellectual predecessor.
拉克利引用乔治·华盛顿（George Washington）作为自己的思想先驱——华盛顿本人就是一个主张公开执行死刑的严厉统治者。
Washington was a fierce disciplinarian who supported public hangings. Luckey's thoughts echo a French philosopher who lived two centuries after Washington.
拉克利的观点与一位生活在华盛顿两个世纪后的法国哲学家米歇尔·福柯（Michel Foucault）的观点不谋而合；福柯在《纪律与惩罚》（Discipline and Punish）一书中指出，公开执行死刑这一现象其实源于死刑执行过程的“医疗化”（即死刑执行被隐藏在监狱内部）。
In "Discipline and Punish," Michel Foucault traced the spectacle of public executions to the private medicalization of executions behind prison doors. In his post, Luckey derided this shift toward private executions as "awful and dystopian."
拉克利批评这种向秘密执行死刑的转变，称其为“可怕且反乌托邦的”，并指出这种做法只会增加不必要的死刑判决：“那些将公开执行死刑视为野蛮或令人厌恶的行为的人其实完全误解了其本质。”
"It makes needless executions more likely, not less so," he wrote. "People who demean this as barbaric or yucky miss the whole point." Luckey had some sympathy for the pacifists who want to end the death penalty altogether.
他对那些主张废除死刑的和平主义者表示同情，并认为他们的观点在逻辑上是合理的；他回应另一位用户时写道：“如果人们不希望特朗普政府公开执行死刑，那么他们就更不应该允许政府秘密执行死刑！”
That argument is logically consistent, he wrote in response to another user. "If people don't want the Trump administration executing people in public, they definitely shouldn't want them doing it in private!"
这篇帖子引发了巨大争议，许多人在 X 平台上称拉克利为“疯子”，并将硅谷比作精神病院。
The post was certainly controversial. People on X called Luckey a "true psycho" and compared Silicon Valley to a psych ward.
有人甚至写道：“接下来他们可能会为被判死刑的囚犯设立‘角斗场’吧……”其他人与拉基持相同观点，包括Palantir联合创始人乔·隆斯代尔，他写道他“同意”。
"Next they will be rationalising gladiatorial arenas for condemned prisoners," one user wrote. Others saw eye to eye with Luckey, including Palantir cofounder Joe Lonsdale, who wrote that he "agreed."
隆斯代尔写道：“帕尔默·拉基和乔治·华盛顿并不是野蛮的。”
"Palmer Luckey and George Washington are not barbaric," Lonsdale wrote.
“我们今天的社会在某些方面过于软弱，这种软弱会对我们的同胞造成伤害。

"Our society today is too soft in ways that cause our fellow citizens harm."
