I’m confused… is this your comic? You’re willingly voting for the person who created a machine called “Dead Palestinians O-matic”? The same person who says they don’t care if you die? What the fuck is even going on in your head?
A distinction between the juvenile moral philosophy of “we need to punish bad people” and the mature philosophy of “we need to do good things”. Take the death penalty, for example. A small minded reactionary would say “We need the death penalty to execute pedophiles and murderers”. But an anarchist would say “We cannot allow the state to have the power to execute people based on its own judgements of moral wrongdoing, because this power would be used to harm us. Any potential benefit of killing a pedophile is dwarfed by the social consequence.”
If you would like to actually have a conversation about this topic, as opposed to slinging fecal insults like an angry chimpanzee, then perhaps you could agree with my philosophical premise that justice means thinking about consequences, and not just punishing bad people for its own sake. You said you want to understand my point of view. I leave it to you to demonstrate whether this is an honest desire of yours.
