This is why I hate Lemmy sometimes. "It's wrong to wish people dead, except for 'them'. 'They' are fare game." It's the same BS we've been doing for the whole history of our miserable species.
Meh, I don't wish death on anyone, but that doesn't mean I have to be sad that a shitty person died.
Nobody's criticizing people for not being sad. There's a word for this, "gloating".
I still think that's fine. Sometimes the world is better off when someone dies.
Like Hitler.
That's not true.
I don't see anyone criticizing people for not being sad. There's a difference between that and criticizing people for being jubilant (not just not sad) about death.
10 years ago (maybe even 5), I would have agreed with you.
I'm past that shit. There are people that I now 100% wish would do humanity a favor and kill themselves.
I had this attitude 20 years ago. I no longer do. I've come to realize that there are certain rich fucks who are actively harming humanity directly (Hitler, Kissinger, Reagan, world leaders who send the poor to useless wars), and if they died and their death prevented more suffering, that's a good thing for humanity. Even the rich fucks that just hoard money are actively robbing from the poor to do so, and some of those people die as a result.
How many people does a person have to kill before they are too far gone to save, and are just evil? How many levels of indirection does it take before they wouldn't be considered evil? What happens if a person indirectly kills millions of people? Is that still far enough to call them evil?
These are the questions you should ask yourself when you try to plot out your own moral compass.
this isn't complicated
the social contract basically boils down to, you at a baseline do right by me and in return I do the same for you
assholes like this and other rich fucks try to game this system for profit by literally harming parts of our lives via loopholes
when ass fucks say lets hurt person ‘insert something that has no impact on anything’ like skin color or sexuality that is wrong
when people talk about wishing death on people that are literally fucking with our lives it should obviously not be the same
whether tanking a video game falls into that bucket is nuanced but people like the united health fuck are easily fair game
Wait, why do you hate lemmy for this? I think who you actually hate are humans. Reddit and all the other modern social media platforms have the same issues, because they too have humans.
I wouldn't be surprised if many of these people are, in fact, banned on reddit because of this behavior.
Lemmy seems waaaay more negative in general though. It's actually kinda jarring being here sometimes.
Because most of us got banned on Reddit for speaking out.
I guess I have to tolerate limpdicked equivocation and "let's all be sad some rich asshole carked it" on reddit but why here? Those spineless losers can fuck off back to reddit.
Definitely not just talking about subjects like this.
