- richardlblair 6mo agoSo I suppose we should burn the house down with a child inside. Your response is a cop out and you should be disappointed in yourself. Further, people do not often agree another human should be murdered. No matter how you phrase it.
- shooly 6mo ago> Further, people do not often agree another human should be murdered Have you ever heard of the French revolution, the World Wars, collapse of the Soviet Union, or maybe more recently - the Ukraine war? People are more than happy to see someone who brings suffering to others dead. Of course, I'm sure lots of people would also want to see people responsible for those events be locked away in a prison cell for the rest of their lives, and for their freedom and privacy to be taken away - do you perhaps want to guess why people would prefer that over instantly killing them?
- richardlblair 6mo agoTo say that people often want others to be murdered is an overstatement. Some people want others to be murdered. And those people do not need representation. It's a bad take especially considering the context. And to be explicit - the context is a molitov cocktail being thrown at a home a child is sleeping in.
- shooly 6mo agoNo, actually, that's not the context. Well, not the full context - but you know that, don't you? We both know, that you do.
- deaux 6mo ago> Further, people do not often agree another human should be murdered. No matter how you phrase it. I really wonder how much of a privileged bubble one must've lived their life in to come to this belief. Without much of a history education either. It's _incredibly common_ for humans - maybe saying "humans" instead of "people" helps you snap out of the disbelief - to agree that another human should be murdered.
- richardlblair 6mo agoI grew up in a very violent neighborhood. You know what I learned? Most don't want to be violent, they feel they have to. Its dishonest to say it's incredibly common for people to want others murdered. That's not a belief that needs normalizing.
- dang 6mo agoBecause mob behavior overwhelms everything else.
