    I see lots of comments arguing about whether bad things should happen to bad people and missing the point that it’s criticizing the convenient, self-serving rationalization of doing bad things to [out-group enemy] going on.

    Oh for me, the literal nazis, child rapists, and Inmorally rich “leaders” are like dogs with rabies, a disease. There is no changing them. It is imparative that we stop them before they hurt more. If we can put down ol’ yeller, we can kill this evil.

      literal nazis

      WWII was 80 years ago, are there any literal Nazis alive?

      Or is this one of the ‘I don’t know what literal means and also I’ll decide who is a Nazi and deserves death’ kind of thing?

            If you don’t know there are real Nazi followers and fascism out there right now, not 80 years ago, but right now, I do not think you know what Nazis are. I also do not think you know what a “rhetorical question” is.

              I also do not think you know what a “rhetorical question” is.

              Well, let me demonstrate:

              You know what I think better than I do?

              You know, the image in the OP is not an aspirational goal, right?

                I think you’re ignorant to the reality around you. I think OPs image is a strawman made by a centrist that also does not understand the reality of the situation.

          Zionists are ambitious, trying to genocide so hard that people forget about the Nazis.

          Netanyahu doesn’t really have the punchiness of “Hitler”, so they need to work on that part. His gun probably tastes the same, so there’s that.

        Would argue, but know what you are doing. So just replace the word nazi with fascist and maybe youll understand. If not, you’ll find out the hard way.

    right, but they have been proven to be demonstrably evil. Or are we now sympathetic to cancer? If they want to be treated like people they should start acting like it. Just because one is a pacifist, does not mean they shouldn’t defend themself

      Who is “they”? Who are you talking about and how are you certain that’s who OP is talking about?

    Everyone seems to think like this though so what right have we to laugh at him? Furthermore maybe it is better that we all embrace the fact we’re spoiled little animals who hold our own priviliges in higher regards than everyone else’s, rather than becoming detached and objective rule followers, deniers of our own feelings.

    Only thing is… how does anyone survive without seeing there are no absu-fucking-lutely-good or absu-fucking-lutely-bad people who never ever did anything bad/good respectively?

    Doesn’t mean I would let just anyone live, but does mean that none of this good/bad nonsense is actually real. Guess not enough people have been kicked by a swing
