Yeah I was just drawing a funny connection between the Cthulhu comic and a show about that exact moral question. I do not sincerely endorse genocide or the Dexter philosophy.
Let’s just do the ethical thing and only exterminate the humans who drive a car or eat meat. That should handily dismiss any concerns about collective punishment, since all the innocent humans get to live.
makes perfect sense, since people of every age and culture get to choose the food and transportation available to them.
you should probably throw in people that ride buses/trains that aren’t filled to capacity.
“…That should handily dismiss any concerns about collective punishment…”
condemning two groups for collective punishment is not much of a solution to collective punishment, but I don’t see why you couldn’t bring it up with one of the eldritch gods and see what they think.
Hardly, it’s a flippant comment about a fictional cosmic horror.
there are a lot of earnest comments in this thread about the practical horror of collective punishment being a valid option that should be considered.
I’m on the other side of the fence.
Blind collective punishment is not a “net positive”.
