I think I get "exhausted" per se, with this specifically because I feel like some people not only get emotional, but also tend to "play god."
Like in the post, I'm reminded a lot of the god of the old testament. Where he looks upon Sodom and Gomorrah and wipes them out, or how the Egyptians were punished with plagues, darkness and death for their Pharoah's actions against the Jews. (Note: this isnt me accusing people of having a "Christian mindset" or something relating to this. This is just my own analogy)
This type of violence and destruction seems very appetizing for a reason. It's not like these tales of destruction are limited to the Bible. But I think it gets very metaphysical (if im using that term right, I hope). There was a good quote by Jacob Geller in a recent video of his. "The earth doesn't cry out for vengeance, it just cries." There's no law of equivalent exchange when it comes to this. And, as much as you might wish it, you're not god. You cannot free the proletariat by foisting plagues upon the empire's population.
And looking at it from a more material point of view, it's not like the nukes made Japan more remorseful, if anything they're less remorseful (although I'm sure they would've latched onto something else. It's not like the nazis are shutting up about Dresden or the Red Army "mass rapes" any time soon).
Like I said, I dont typically bring it up since it's either not novel at best and a fight starter at worst. I just don't get the logic of supporters usually, and my brain automatically wants to reconcile the problem
