Ok so here's the thing. Some people will not stop murdering, and are in positions where they can get away with it. No chance to jail them, etc.
But since you're cool with Hitler, guess you're cool with that, too.
who said im cool with hitler? dont put words in my mouth. hitler was a genocidal maniacal tyrant.
Yet you would let him continue his genocidal tyranny rather than being ok with him being murdered.
because i don't commit murder.
So you would be cool with someone else killing Hitler, for the greater good?
no, that would be murder, i would say Hitler should be arrested before he commits his crimes
I’m afraid you’re not living in the real world then.
Nobody was going to arrest Hitler, he was the leader of a country. Much like nobody is actually going to arrest Netanyahu. So that means they’re able to continue ordering the murder of innocent people.
Now I think it’s insane that you would be so staunchly against murder for any reason, even when the person who should be murdered doesn’t share your morals and will happily be complicit in the murder for thousands and millions of people. It’s a massively naive take on the world and I’m flabbergasted that an adult could hold your beliefs, well unless religion is involved as that tends to skew people with some belief that people will get what they deserve when they did, which itself is a little naive.
One final hypothetical:
You’re on vacation on a deserted island with your family and some lunatic has taken a boat to the same island. They’ve rigged up some explosives in your families cabin and are going to blow it up in 60 seconds, you find a sniper rifle (assume you know how to use it) and have the ability to shoot this dude before he blows up your family.
Are you still not going to take action? Are you still a pacifist in this situation?
i wont go on vacation becuase i dont trust airplanes. problem solved.
I mean I did say the island was reachable by boat, but hey avoid the question because I suspect you would agree with murder in that situation.
Kinda has the only moral abortion is my abortion vibes, just swap out abortion for murder.
abortion should be legal because its not its own life until it leaves the womb. and no im not going to commit murder. i would rather die first.
You wouldn’t be dead. You would be alive living with the facts your moral compass got your whole family blown up whilst the killer roams free, according to my hypothetical at least.
Anyway, you do support murder. If you eat meat, use pesticides, etc.
