Now vigilante murder is bad when the victim is “one of us,” but when it was “one of them,” it was all cheers and applause.
yeah, yeah, everyone admires you, Mr. Shitdontstank.
Only one side uses the term "one of us" like they're on a football team
I bet you think what's happening in Israel is bad
This kind of comment is a hallmark of a 2-dimensional mind, a linear thinking system that doesn't look at outcomes, people, lives or anything other than what group you belong to and how accepted you are in that group.
I can rip your logic to shreds if you want to dance. If you really, truly, actually think you have a point and moral, ethical framework to make some kind of argument, I can dismantle it and make you very frustrated. Just say the word and I'll make you painfully aware that you're not just ill-informed, but a victim of media you choose to consume and as a result are incapable of juggling more than one idea in your head at a time and this is why you're miserable.
Sure, let’s go. But if your argument is as strong as you seem to think it is, you shouldn’t need to wrap it in this condescension and chest-thumping. I'm always open for an debate - but if the tone stays at "let me enlighten your dumb little mind," I’ll check out rather quick. I’m here to discuss ideas, not trade insults.
Now, I’ll be the first to admit my original comment was intentionally provocative but I stand by the underlying point: I oppose vigilante violence across the board, regardless of who the target is. And if someone cheered for Luigi's killing but condemns this one, I think that’s morally inconsistent. That’s what I was calling out - a double standard that, to me atleast, reeks of tribalism more than principle.
