Comment on Too soon?
morphballganon@mtgzone.com 22 hours agoThis is just the trolley problem. If you can save 5 people by killing 1, is it correct to do so, or take no action?
Well, we’ve got lots of people taking no action, and look where that’s got us.

You don’t get to just kill people that you suspect are evil. This isn’t some complicated ethical dilemma.

suspect? rofl! Charlie was evil. Unquestionably.
Does a good person call empathy a weakness? Does a good person say some gun deaths are totally acceptable for the 2a? Does a good person dogwhistle about minorities and cast blame on trans people for things they didn’t do?
You’re either woefully stupid or trolling. You should think before you type either way.

Should his (possibly) millions of his supporters also die? Should they preemptively start killing people they view as threats to them? You know, since some people are saying that they should die for their opinions… you see how this goes? It’s not hard to see how a zero sum game ends without any winners. That’s why you have to compromise by at least not killing each other.

OK woefully stupid it is, then…
You know they’re TRYING to do those things you said, right? Why do you think they keep mentioning trans people every chance they get along side bad news?
You realize “there are people out there saying others should die for their opinions” IS CHARLIE AND HIS KIND, right?
You are utterly and completely missing the entire point of the paradox of tolerance… Charlie Kirk and his ilk are ALREADY fomenting intolerance. They’re ALREADY planting the seeds of violence. Me noticing it and saying, “yes, these vile actors deserve to be stopped, even if it comes to the worst option” IS NOT the same as them inventing boogiemen like trans/gay/etc people out of thin air.
They WANT people to get violent towards innocents. That makes them a valid target.

Tell that to Charlie. He advocated for that actual fucking reality.
