Today is a seriously awesome day. Happy day, everyone! It’s a little less evil!
Another concerning issue is who and what defines bad? The act of killing or getting joy out of it is justified by why. Your reasoning behind bad might be completely different from my reasoning, but we might agree that it needs to be done. But the reason should never be joy, it can be satisfying to rid the world of some type of danger but it should never be joy.
Rapists, pedophiles, war criminals, CEOs, most politicians, mega church pastors, etc. The list goes on. Tbh the argument of "who can really judge evil" is so washed up and thin at this pont its laughable.
who can judge evel
I was meaning more literal and less philosophical, but sure.
I think this is another case of the word meaning different things. The agony that a person may experience and the sorrow of their loved ones. Some will celebrate that death.
The cessation of malignant influence from a powerful person, and the net progress towards a more inclusive, equitable, and just society. A lot of people are celebrating that death
Can't talk about this in c/politics because one of the rules says they don't want you celebrating death.
What a crock of shit.
I'm scrolling that post enjoying seeing all the mod comments being massively downvoted and a bunch of people continuing to celebrate his death anyway.
I don't celebrate. But I do use Grumpy Cat's line. Then move on.
Celebrate that they are out of ways to do evil. Don't celebrate death, it's a tragedy every time.
It's a tragedy every every time.
(Terms and conditions apply. Offer not valid in Palestine, in schools, on streets and roads, on death row, for most brown people, or in any situation involving an armed government agent, including, but but not limited to police officers, sheriffs deputies, ICE agents.)
You imply I am racist, xenophobic and a police/state violence sympathizer for calling the death of any human a tragedy? How does that make any sense?
I was making a general observation about the human condition. Like, when there's an airline incident, there's an investigation, an NTSB report, and the FAA usually issues a rule change in response. When a driver runs over a pedestrian, it barely makes local news, and even then, the headline is usually about the traffic delay.
Some things we treat like tragedies, but much of the time, we treat human life as basically worthless.
Don't celebrate death, it's a tragedy every time.
No it isn't. This one is long overdue in fact, a lot of harm would have been avoided if it happened a decade or two ago. The tragedy is that what I'm pointing out here is the truth, that humanity still has these floaters in the gene pool at all.
Well, cleaning the gene pool is a commonly used explanation for eugenics and ethnic clensing. Surely the lemmings upvoting this are all about that?
Also functionality there is no difference in outcome if you take someone like that and exile or imprison them. So there is an argument to be made that the real problem is people putting those floaters in power in a democracy.
Celebrating the death of somebody you loathed is more in the general direction of mob justice.
Live by the sword. They've been begging for it for literally decades, don't whine and cry now that their wish is granted.
Assume that they are probably stupid. And that shouldn't be a reason to follow stupid peoples idea of how the world should be working even if it pertains to them.
