Yes, let's start censoring people based on morality. That has never ever gone wrong.

Not moderating has gone wrong like a bazillion times.

Oh, I'm all for having a chuckle at the expensive of people who make inappropriate Nazi comparisons.

A) I don't have to equivocate. Killing humans isn't the same as killing a chicken. We agree. The point is obvious. Moderation exists for a reason. Discrimination and normalizing violence are things worth moderating. You're either being intellectually dishonest in response or need to give it a little more thought.

B) Species difference aside, their experience at scale is by definition a holocaust. 136 million will die today alone. They can't grasp the scale as individuals, but they experience it personally. Believe it or not, some people value non-human life. Whether or not you do is not relevant given lack of moral justification.
