    The difference is that I can look up a moment in history when Hitler was vulnerable and then kill him with zero consequences.

    There would be a lot of consequences for killing anyone today, and it’d be really hard to kill anyone that matters.

      That begets the question, why do you feel okay with murder when there are no consequences?

      Were you to find yourself in such a situation with say the CEO of Nestle or Nike, or Rupert Murdoch, or whomever you fancy, where you suddenly realize you have an opportunity to murder that person without consequence, would you do so?

        I’d prefer they be sent to work camps to pay for their crimes - execution is a waste of resources

        But if you’re talking about a situation where “press this magic button an Elon Musk dies” well~

          It was a rhetorical question meant to prompt you into a moral or philosophical justification.

          But for the record, I more or less agree with your position.

            Okay, but like, I don’t want to outright say it because I’m pretty sure the people I hate are watching for that sort of thing 😅
