as a member of the civilized world, would you kill ("get rid of") a "barbarian" person with your bare hands ? Indirection doesn't change anything

- bunnycorn 8y agoNice evasion tactic. Also, indirection changes everything. When a soldier fires a bullet, it's commanded by a chain of command that goes directly, in the case of the US, a leader elected by the people of the US. It's not a question of "firing with a rifle vs using your bare hands". Is "firing because you decided to kill that guy" vs "killing because the people of your nation decided that guy constitutes a threat".
