Unless you subscribe to any one of most of the worlds’ belief systems. Or unless your parents did and some of it sort of rubbed off on you. Or if you think law and order is important. But outside of that, yeah, of course, killing is completely neutral moral gray area. /s
I don’t care to argue anymore semantics. You get what I’m saying and I get you. I just think that killing feels wrong for good reason, and that’s a very popular opinion. Stop acting like it’s a silly one.
Killing is wrong in general, but can be justified by circumstances.

E.g. killing billions by making the world uninhabitable is unacceptable, whereas smashing an oil execs face in with a baseball bat is obviously justified.
Then who will kill the people who became evil by murdering?
I’m sure we can find volunteers willing to kill themselves once they’re done with the killing. 🤷♂️

But yeah, sure, let’s just pretend that it’s completely self-evident that killing is always wrong.
Who said it’s morally neutral?

Then you would have no qualms explaining that to their 4 year old daughter who watched you do it.
Why would I force a child to watch violence? You’re a very strange person.
It’s justified
