us pol, could be argued is analogous to suicidal ideation
@cookingsteak I think i agree to large extent, but i feel like in most of these cases, what people are demanding is an end to the tyranny of people who are literally and directly causing untold amounts of brutal harm and death.The problem is just that these individuals are increasingly more becoming those with far, far too much power to ever be stopped.
In these cases, the real dream is not of death, it’s of an end — one which is otherwise astronomically unlikely to happen any other way
I understand in an absolutionist sense why one would only ever desire to favor life, but is there not complicity in advocating when our advocacy amounts to hypothetically ensuring one’s right to continue indiscriminately hurt and kill?
I guess more to the point, is it not reasonable to be happy even one avalanche of hurt stopped somehow (even given it may not actually change anything)?
Like obviously abusers shouldn’t get hit by cars, but if you were being actively abused by multiple people and one got hit by a car, would you really be wrong to feel relief or even satisfaction that at least some part stopped?
