Hurting = bad. More hurting = more bad.

The rest is surprisingly easy to derive. Not sure why people struggle with the concept...

But socks, oh my... Where could I possibly begin.

but less hurting means less money for me, can’t have that

they must just be silly for not liking to hurt for a good cause because they are not people

If you kill a murderer, the number of murders in the world remains the same!

....... But if you kill two murderers...

Yes it maths

[–] Viceversa@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

It also maths if you kill a murderer, who has killed more than one person.

Yes, however the sweet relief of death is not hurting.
