yeah the person in the OP should practice self inserting by fucking themselves

People are losing confidence in the systems of law, order, and justice. The social contract is being broken by the ruling elite. When people lose confidence in these things and see no avenue for justice, they turn to extreme measures.

Killing someone is always a terrible and avoidable outcome, but there are cases where we consider it just: defense of yourself or others, to prevent greater harm, etc.

People are seeing great injustices and great dangers and they have no confidence in the systems that are supposed to address those things. Naturally, they’re behaving accordingly.

The social contract requires good faith and consent and can’t just be taken for granted.

every large organization is inefficient, anyone who has worked at a huge company knows this. This is just another capitalist myth that happens to keep economic control in private hands where the wealthy get more votes than the poor, as opposed to public hands where (in theory) votes are equal.

she’s gonna be so relieved

Hey if enough Americans are motivated he may not have to serve the full sentence. If this were the start of something bigger he could easily get out sooner.

If everyone goes back to complacency though you’re definitely right.

Trigger happy mods should know that I’m advocating for political and cultural change but not specifying that it must be through violence.

why are there so many delusional Democrats?

It’s ok to admit both parties suck. Yes to different degrees, but you don’t have to gaslight yourself into thinking Democrats care about you

Nah fewer bad people in the world is better medicine

I’m referring to people talking about the trolley problem, defense, war, etc.

When it comes to killing the CEO I’m not gonna argue it because your position is valid.

I agree it’s “wrong” but I won’t hide my smile, I wouldn’t be sad about some other similar incidents either.

When there is no justice, there can be no peace.

Yes but now you’re discussing nuance whereas in your replies to everyone else you’re making a blanket statement that murder is always wrong.

You can’t reject other peoples’ nuanced arguments with a blanket statement then retreat to making your own when confronted.

Your POV is valid, and I’m not telling you you’re wrong to believe it, but you haven’t been engaging with others in good faith.

you haven’t responded to the myriad comments pointing out when we feel it’s justified to kill someone, like defending yourself and others or at times of war.

So, what’s your stance?

but if the president wears different pants than the previous president that goes to show voting can affect change

how can someone be so lacking in nuance? your world is so black and white lol.

my guy, you really need to think through things more, you’re so simple it’s mind boggling

the world isn’t so black and white, and this kind of attitude (preservation of the status quo, valuing order over justice) is what allows evil to persist.

Sometimes we need to get our hands dirty, and you’re benefiting today from the people willing to do that in past generations.

Sometimes it’s armies storming a beach, sometimes it’s the people checking those in power

let’s also give some blame to the DNC for pushing that dud on everyone

Incredible lol, built to be a lemmy.world mod. Liberal final boss material. Holy shit.

In my experience FlyingSquid tends to participate in the stupid and toxic aspects of the communities he’s policing but doesn’t stoop to abusing the power, certainly not to the extent of others I’ve seen. i.e. I think he could do more positive actions to build a good community but he doesn’t use as many negative actions to actively harm the community.

Lemmy.world is kinda lame in general though, especially when it comes to politics. Very narrow minded and like a bunch of piranhas when it comes to suppressing dissent. If you are easing into lemmy from Reddit you’ll feel right at home there.

Immortal Technique did a good job expressing why this is wrong:

They say the rebels in Iraq still fight for Saddam But that’s bullshit, show you why it’s totally wrong ‘Cause if another country invaded the hood tonight It’d be warfare through Harlem and Washington Heights wouldn’t be fightin’ for Bush or White America’s dream l’d be fightin’ for my people’s survival and self- esteemn wouldn’t fight for racist churches from the South, my nigga l’d be fightin’ to keep the occupation out, my nigga

can’t speak for all of them but there’s no claim process in mine, so claims don’t get rejected

yes and no, ray tracing still requires decisions about fidelity, the same poor decisions can be made in either rendering system
