Oh great murder worship is hip and edgy now. So uplifting. /s

But worshipping profits made from denying people life-saving care is fine.

The ambiguity of that abbreviation means you could well be arguing for Mangione and his methods, not against him.

And if you meant Universal rather than United, most of the folks in countries with it don't want to lose it. Better to worship that than profits, don't you think?

Actually civil wars are good, and easy to win

No majority of any demographic supports Weegee.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

I sure hope you're right, but I've heard multiple otherwise-relatively-sane people in real life express support for him

Killing of evil people should be praised. Don’t be such a bitch.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

As a consequentialist, killing evil people can have nothing but bad outcomes. What you described is basically praise of what the USA has done in the middle east for over 80 years.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah they totally shouldn’t have killed any nazis in World War Two. Only bad outcomes from that one.

In WWII were we fighting to kill all the factory workers, bankers, and farmers who benefited from the Nazis while leaving the Nazis themselves alone or were we fighting the soldiers and politicians who created and protected the Nazi Dictatorship?

Luigi didn't kill a politician who opposed socialized healthcare. Luigi didn't reduce the number of private healthcare firms by one single bit, it's only set to go up under the new administration.

Even the Nazis went to trial.

You are rambling absolute nonsense.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I took your abso-fucking-lutely absurd analogy and ran with it. Skill issue on your part.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

No, you’re trying to be an absolutist about something you cannot be an absolutist about and it’s making you sound like a moron.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I think I understand your confusion. The statement was never absolutist. It was:

Killing evil people CAN have [nothing but negative outcomes.]

It does NOT say:

Killing evil people WILL have [nothing but negative outcomes.]

To reiterate the statement for you, it says that a murder does not always yield any beneficial results. Does that help you?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

So your point is that murder may have beneficial consequences, or it may not, correct? Because nobody here or ever in the history of man is arguing that murder always has positive consequences.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

No, that was your point. My point was that random murder in the streets is and should be illegal.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

lol don’t tell me what my fuckin point was you goober hahaha

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Don't ask me which one of us said it then.
