Spoken like a person who has no problem with the millions of people who have died from lack of healthcare and hasn’t had to watch a loved one die a horrible death from lack of healthcare. Must be nice to be that privileged
I never claimed they were or weren’t, nor have I argued that they were good or bad. I was just pointing out a technicality, just as you were.
It’s murder to shoot a dictator. It’s not murder to gun down unarmed protesters. “Murder” does not carry much moral weight, in my opinion. It just means you killed someone the state didn’t want killed, or in a way they don’t permit.
Like when you cancel the medical coverage of people with cancer, or string the ill along with exhaustive paperwork hoping they die before you have to pay out. Not murder.
You keep telling us what your opinion is as if that will convince us to agree. You’re not god handing me stone tablets on the mountain. You need an argument, not just a claim.
I clearly stated my point. Killing someone who kills a lot of other people is murder. But it being murder isn’t evidence it’s wrong. You dismissed that without addressing it.
You’ve never said one thing about why you think it’s wrong, other than that it’s murder. I figured you were a hardcore deontologist. What is there to discuss? It breaks the law and is therefore evil from that point of view.
I asked for more info on why, you refused. What do you think I am to talk about here? Am I meant to guess your thoughts and argue with that?
Yeah, just normal, run of the mill, cold-blooded murder.

Is that what I said? Or is attacking strawmen and virtue-signaling how you make yourself feel good?
And water is wet. It’s murder because it’s illegal. That’s what murder is, legislation.
In Arkansas it is illegal to pronounce “Arkansas” incorrectly.
Yes, those are totally morally comparable. Great work, champ.

The killing of Brian Thompson was unjust and morally wrong.
Nobody was confused about your opinion on that.
You keep telling us what your opinion is as if that will convince us to agree. You’re not god handing me stone tablets on the mountain. You need an argument, not just a claim.
So you were just being pedantic and don’t actually have a point. My bad, I thought you were actually saying something.

My position has been quite clear from the start. Not sure why you’re confused.
Celebrating the person who commited the unjust and immoral killing of Brian Thompson is (at best) cringe. It’s actually more like disgusting though.
