Back when slaves were legal it was illegal to kill a slave owner. I understand that and I think that’s how it needed to be. You can’t have laws that killing someone is legal.
On the other hand I don’t morally condemn the slaves that rose up and actually did kill their “owners”.
I absolutely can say something should be illegal but in certain cases I’m cool with it happening.
I challenge you to find a single person arguing in favor of making murder legal. I’ve never seen or heard anyone do that.
I think it can be needed sometimes throughout history when the inequality between rich and poor becomes too great, that doesn’t mean I think it should be legal…
I know those models and am all for them. I’m Scandinavian so I’m not at all for eye for an eye type of justice.
The original comment I was replying to said something along the lines of “these people don’t understand justice”.
I was just pointing out that justice is a feeling more than anything else. You can point out that restorative justice is a better way for society to go and it works better for most individuals too but if someone says that they don’t feel like justice has been served you can’t say they’re wrong.
They just have a different opinion on what justice is.
I agree 100%, but I was never discussing what should be legal or illegal… Obviously any murder should be illegal. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that.
That doesn’t change my opinion that sometimes murder is needed to affect change and sometimes it’s even the morally right thing to do…
You honestly thought I was advocating for making murder legal?
What does flat earth has to do with this? The shape of the earth is NOT an opinion. It’s a provable fact.
Justice is a feeling. It’s not a factual thing. You can’t scientifically deduce whether justice has been served or not in a specific case.
Some people think eye for an eye is justice, some have other ideas of what justice is.
You stated that everythibg Elon touches goes to shit.
I showed that’s objectively false.
I’m no tesla or Elon fan at all but I can recognize that the man has abilities to get things done even if he is a major douchebag.
What on earth are you talking about?
Tesla is about the only company that actually makes money selling EVs.
The stock price has increased about 100% over the last year.
The all time high of the stock was literally 4 days ago…
Yeah spacex and tesla is just silly useless dust…
Like being the CEO of one of the only companies that’s managed to make electric cars profitable while also being the CEO of the first company to ever reuse space rockets and boosters…
I don’t like him as a person but I can recognise that he’s a pretty remarkable CEO.
You think I did that?
I’m Danish and here your 2 parties would absolutely fit the categories I described. No exaggeration what so ever.
You can say a lot about Musk but he sure as shit gets things done.
How tf can killing a single person with a handgun be classified as terrorism?
Everyone above 14 knows how dangerous smoking is. Doesn’t make it less cool. Tbh it probably makes it more cool to most people.
This campaign is about as stupid as it gets.
It basically points out the only legit positive thing about smoking which is the fact that it looks cool.
Because smoking looks cool…
Very few people thinks smoking is uncool. It’s obviously a health risk but I think that’s part of the reason it’s seen as cool. It’s dangerous.
Just like riding a motorcycle, if there wasn’t any increased danger associated with it, it wouldn’t be cool.
In most other countries your 2 parties would be classified right wing and extreme right wing.
Geopolitics is so nice and simple if you’re completely uninformed but just picks a tiny fraction of an issue and base your opinion around that…
You realize we’re helping Ukraine because it’s in our own best interest right?
People are acting like we do it out of our good hearted nature.
Also, we don’t get to speak for Ukraine just because we’re helping them. I’m tempted to say obviously but apparently it’s not that obvious.
What the US has a right to do is stop it’s support.
No I did not gloss over that. I’m not sure how you could miss my point that much.
I think my example is entirely relevant. The reason I sometimes condone murder is when I don’t find it morally wrong, so obviously that’s also what the discussion is about.
You’re whole argument about not being able to condone a criminal act without having to change the laws makes very little sense to me.
