    It’s not that hard to resolve. In an ideal situation, the fascists would drop dead without feeling anything. I agree that suffering is wrong, but death is natural and comes for everyone eventually.

    Also, if you got hit with I gun that big I don’t think there would be much time to suffer.

      Perhaps I should clarify, actively causing death is what I struggle with. At what point does adding to death cause less deaths? How do we determine that? Even if we are able to somehow cause those deaths to be as painless and targetted as possible, it still causes suffering and inspires revenge from their family and friends. Under what circumstances do we justify it?

      I haven’t found an answer I’m satisfied with yet that doesn’t somehow require clairvoyance.
