I guess now we know why those stories are told as allegories for why we shouldn't give power over life and death to people. But usually the protagonist needs to slide into abusing their power. Blood thirsty mitherfucker. Smh.

    How many elementary schools do they need to bomb before they're evil enough for you? How many pointless wars? You good with the actions of ICE, no murders there? Women dying in their cars from pregnancy related issues cool too? These people are mass murderers all ready.

    Sounds like you would have let the Nazis go after Hitler died.

    To be clear I'm not talking about Bob down the road who voted Trump, sure he's responsible for enabling this bullshit, but I'm not a monster. I'll let the responsibility stop with those in the government voting to let this all happen

    The bar for summary execution on only your judgement from afar, or mine, should be incredibly high. Much higher than before an official court and out in the open. I have exactly the same opinions about your (rather US centric) list, but I would not want to use the power to murder them on a whim. And if this is the list that you start with, where will you be after sliding into the moral quagmire of where to stop?

    Wtf dude you hopped on a thread talking about the Republican party and now you're upset that it's US centric. Which Idk how bombing a school in Iran is US centric, but whatever.

    My moral quagmire starts when the fascists are dead. Honestly I'm taking this a lot less far than many here would. I'd stop with those actually responsible. I don't waste time hand wringing about bombing schools and empowering ICE to brutalize the country
