I'm left on the political spectrum but by and large y'all fuckers are over the deep end.

I'm not even talking that much.

Wanting to kill billionaires.

Wanting to kill landlords.

It's fucking disgusting.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Exactly! It goes like this to me:

"Billionaires and landlords are bad for society." Hard agree!

"There should be less billionaires and landlords." Okay, I agree with that too.

"We should kill them!" NO! FUCK NO!

I understand that if society is going to change for the better, that some people deliberately stand in the way and others will inevitably be forced to stop them. But there's this new school of thought that says "My enemies are ontologically evil and all harm done towards them is morally good" which sickens me.

An act can be justified, necessary, and still immoral.

Wow they're worse than I thought, why would anyone praise North Korea I mean that just sounds insane.
