    i mean yeah, generally when a society idolizes a killer, it’s not for a particularly good reason (society wise)

    and before anybody tries to yap about it, no there would only be a potential long term benefit to this kind of thing, slight shift in politics, maybe on the extreme end a government uprising, which will take many a year to come to fruition, and cause many years of instability. Generally these kinds of things only bring short term problems, when acted upon, humans are just animals, the salem witch trials happened for a reason, if left unchecked, this would turn into a bloodbath very quickly. Lots and lots of people would die. most of them not billionaires.

      The romanticisation of a murderer is quite frankly astounding. You can agree with his side of the discussion and not be ok with murder. I don’t think enough people get that.

        it’s definitely interesting, personally i dont really care what you do as long as it’s consistent, if you think what luigi did is based, then sure, but you better also say that murder is based. Otherwise you’re being hypocritical.

        People just want to pick and choose who dies, which again, if you like murder, by all means, please.

        It’s because nuance in an internet discussion is very hard. All people participating must target mutual understanding and not just trying to win an argument.

        What are you even saying?

        All throughout history, murder was almost a requirement for creating a better life for people. If we hit a point in society where murder is not okay, that takes away the one final chip the working class has against the rich.

        Even just looking at the health insurance side of things, we’re talking about a horrible ethically misaligned industry that makes murder look like shoplifting. Ideally no murder has to happen, but it becomes a lot more grey from a utilitarian perspective and when considering the sheer scale that the world operates at.
