Smapti? That can’t be the missing context because my quote is from McVeigh.
Do try to keep up.
That reminds me of the governor of Pennsylvania Josh Shapiro who gave a speech on what an evil person Luigi is and how violence is never the answer.
Then people started posting photos of him signing bombs being sent to Gaza.
The role of violence in society is very complex.
And I was quoting Patton. Do try to keep up.
Says the person too chickenshit to acknowledge that they’re arguing that it’s wrong to shoot Hitler.
Fuckwit? By definition this,
is accusing me of quoting someone out of context. That’s what the “too” fucking means.
All this shows is that society is OK with killing as long as it’s not directly violent.
Health insurance companies kill thousands of Americans nonviolently - no problem. In fact, congrats on the profit. We should all aspire to wealth.
One gunman takes down a healthcare CEO with violence - horror! evil! can never be condoned!
What is your major malfunction? Embryos and fetuses are not babies. People are needlessly dying because of tightening regulations on women’s bodies. The RW assholery that wants to declare that they are is the same band of troglodytes who are dead set on classifying women as livestock. Breeding stock for the superior half of the human species. Accusing Dr Tiller of being a murderer is plain lame-ass shit, because “pro-life” never was about abortion, it was/is about oppressing women. You should be embarrassed of posting that garbage.
Which you did by trying to compare Luigi Mangione (and me) to Tim McVeigh.
Umm, did you notice that I very, very, intentionally put that in quotes so that folks would have a clear indication that it was a position I was using as a reductio ad absurdum?
Well, it is indeed absurd to compare Luigi Mangione to Paul Hill.
Well, yeah. All three of you agree that “we have to shed blood to reform the current system”.
Our country EXISTS because of people who agreed that blood had to be shed to reform the existing system. “Give me liberty or give me death” ring a bell? “I regret that I have but one life to give for my country”? “To arms, the British are coming”? Get over your ignorant “violence is gross and icky and therefore always wrong no matter what” utopian fantasy land mindset and spend a few minutes in the real world.
I do thoroughly enjoy your totally black and white reality where one must choose between pacifism and slitting throats.
BTW, there are no shades of grey between the blacks and whites of your morality Smapti . . . there is no black and white everything is a shade of grey.
I’d shoot Hitler, but until Germany surrenders I’d be fucking terrified that that wasn’t the right thing to do at the right time.
But that would be murder! And murder is ALWAYS wrong! You’re a hypocrite and a moral monster exactly like I am, and therefore exactly as evil as Tim McVeigh and Paul Hill!
No, Hitler is, IIUC, an enemy combatant and therefore it is not murder.
Shades of grey Smapti, shades of grey.
So, since now you believe in shades of gray, what’s the difference between shooting someone who kills thousands of people in the name of political idealogy and shooting someone who kills thousands of people in the name of turning a profit, such that one is acceptable and the other isn’t?
Again, FUCKWIT? Your strawman of my position is not my position.
Smapti has never once seen any shades of grey. He used to be Law & Order Smapti, now he’s anarchist Smapti. Doesn’t matter what he believes in, each time it’s only in absolutes.
That’s not an answer to the question I asked you. Maybe if you cared to actually state a coherent position I wouldn’t be describing it inaccurately.
Smapti? If you can’t see that pointlessly murdering someone because of the fucked up medical insurance system we have and killing the man responsible for
THE FUCKING HOLOCAUST
I can’t help you…
That’s not a complete sentence.
And it’s not an answer to the question either.
If Hitler had killed six million Jews by denying them access to medical care so he could make more money, would it have been wrong to shoot him?
