    Stop killing yourselves and kill the fucking bad guys, you cowards. Every one of those lives could have been used to make the world a better place for the rest of us, and instead they all just quit.

        Mostly the people actively destroying the planet that we all live on, attempting to murder our entire species.

      That plan works real well until the person decides the ‘bad guy’ is a minority group they don’t like, a certain nationality, or even society in general then they go and burn a mosque, fly a plane into two towers, or attempt to release sarin gas in a metro station.

      There’s no one true ‘bad guys’. The whole idea of good vs bad is driven by what you put value on. If you held individualist values you might see collectivists as the bad guy and vice versa.

        You gave examples of a bunch of objectively bad people and then said bad is subjective. Hard disagree.

        If only the forces of evil are willing to kill and to die for what they believe in, then evil wins, forever.

        Is it an ideal solution? Fuck no. It’s wildly messy and uncontrolled. But the bad guys are winning, and they have been for a while. Continuing to do nothing isn’t going to fix anything.

          Even if we both agree those things are bad that doesn’t mean that are opinions aren’t subjective. The people who try and do those things didn’t wake up in the morning and say to themselves “I’m going to do something evil today.” They consider themselves heros. That’s why those are subjective not objective.

          You’re exact logic is the same as those who perpetrate those acts. They believe that their targets are the evil.

          There’s a fair bit of space between sticking our heads in the sand and encouraging the suicidal to commit assassinations that we can operate in.
