Comment on How come Lemmy/Piefed users seem to have a consensus of like "green mario" is the solution to this and that, but simultaneously oppose death penalty?

The average murderer awaiting a death sentence was a threat to one or a few people. We as a society understand that a human can be emotional or impaired and as a result commit the crime. As a society we believe in punishment…but for some they debate if death makes us the same as them.

They are a singular.

For CEOs and corps, they are multiple and harm many. They have built a system to allow this, they are not a danger to a few, they are a danger to us all. They can bypass law and have overreach in pretty much all locations. Not only are they not willing to change, they will happily watch us all die.

It’s the few VRs the many. This is not a single murder it’s a war.
