Comment on What is the moral jurisdiction behind not wishing who're rich and in executive positions to die?

I’m against pretty much everything that guy has ever said, and would have chosen to greatly expand USAID for all the lives it was saving and misery avoided …… but there is a huge ethical distance between killing them and not going out of your way to save them. Wither way it helps if you’re a sociopath, but they are different
I suspect you are gaslighting or something here.
But this is pretty dumb logic you're presenting. Okay then, by your logic, Hitler didn't kill the jews during WW2. He just simply said he wanted them not to be in his country or anything. But he didn't kill them, he just sent them away and had other people do the killing for him.
You know better.
Misreading. I confess your post was too long and I didn’t read. I assumed you were talking about USAID, which I do believe is different.
Yes, not sending money to help others but s different from actively leading a country in a ways that causes massive deaths.
Sociopath either way but a direct cause of those deaths is different from not saving those other deaths
And believe me Im no supporter of the guy, quite the opposite. I just believe that not all of his actions are criminal. Unethical definitely and way too many are criminal and should be prosecuted
