it's a little funny to me that when one group enslaves and murders and slaughters
it's sort of dismissed as a "systemic tragedy"
but when a few individuals try and do the same thing on a much much smaller scale
somehow they're "monsters"

You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
THE LEFTIST ERROR ABOUT "OBLIGATION" towards "all kinds of people".
See by case and not by race.
Who slaughters but could have done otherwise, is not excused.
Murder is not excused, only because it happens on a smaller scale than the murder on a greater scale. Murder is murder.
it seems to boil down to
when a powerful group murders
it's heroic
You must be talking to someone else, not to me.
I neither "dismiss" murder as "systemic tragedy" nor do I see anything heroic in one group killing the other.
what disturbs you in my answer, if so?
what do most people mean by "murder"
generally speaking "unjustified killing"
what do most people mean by "unjustified"
generally speaking "it's ok to kill people we don't like and NOT ok to kill people we do like"
Do you ask me, what I myself think of murder?
do you believe "murder" is "unjustified killing"
and if so
what do you think qualifies as "unjustified"
I believe what the law says about murder.
As I understand the legislation here, it defines murder as ‘a wilful and intentional killing’. I look it now up.
Quoted from the penal code:
In order to be able to justify something as murder, I would need to have the the aspects of murder to see fulfilled. If you give me a case - like you did with the story of Nat Turner, it's what I have withdrawn from it. IF it's true what had been said.
"willful and intentional" also applies to executioners and soldiers and cases of "self-defense"
"low motives" is quite vague
"maliciously or cruelly" could easily apply to executioners and soldiers and cases of "self-defense"
