Am I in a position to target children with these weapons? Do I profit from commerce in these weapons? To I earn my daily bread manufacturing these weapons? The answer to all of those of course, is no. I sincerely hope that the answer is the same for yourself, but if it were not, then perhaps imagining (as we are doing here) your own family suffering such horrors would cause you to change your ways. Save your indignation for those who deserve it.
Eh, fuck em. It’s killing somebody’s families either way, might as well be theirs.
Also you:
Save your indignation for those who deserve it.
lol.
If we’re just talking hypotheticals here, why is it so hard for you to say that it would be bad, hypothetically, to kill a 3 year old with white phosphorus?
What you’re apparently trying to say is that your comments advocating for killing entire families based on the crimes of one of their members is that you’re posing this hypothetical situation to people here on lemmy who are in a position to target/profit from/earn a living from white phosphorus. And that doing so will perhaps get them to imagine the horrors and change their ways. Really? K. Keep fighting that good fight then. As a final note, believe me, those who deserve my indignation aren’t getting any less of it just because I took a moment to call out a chuddy comment.
I appreciate that comment. I may have been too reactive and harsh in my response, and apologize for that. It is admittedly one of my “peeves” when someone I’d otherwise consider a comrade seems to advocate specifically for killing innocents and children as a means to punish the people who do deserve the pit and worse.
I absolutely share your anger, even rage for the demon shitstains supplying WP to aid a genocide. And to be clear, it’s not that they don’t deserve to see their own family killed in the same way they are facilitating the unimaginably painful murder of other families, I just personally think it’s important for us as leftists to draw a line against targeting innocent people especially for the sake of vindictiveness. In other words, if we could somehow make the guilty fascists think that was happening to their own family without actually doing that to the innocent members of their family, I’d have zero problem with that, in fact I’d be all for it. Since we were discussing hypotheticals, I actually rather like that one.
Well wishes to you, I should probably log off for a bit too.

I understand your point of view, and it’s probably the better one. I am just very angry right now and ought to log off for awhile.
