The mentality where you think people "deserve" things, I think it's just irrational. If your goal in politics is to do best by all, then you're working against your goal. If that's not your goal, then it should be. Wishing harm on anyone is literally a last resort when there is no preferable option and where more good comes out of that harm than bad - otherwise it's an ethical negative. It's alarming to me how few people seem to have thought through that logic.
I'm not a pacifist. Save your sermon?
It's not a hobby. It's not subjective. Something is either good or bad, in total (some real number value on that axis, to be specific). The kind of thing you said is literally a cop-out of confronting that. The need to put some "ist"/"ism" label on it just avoids dealing with the question entirely. That's not the definition of pacifism, what I said is the framework to situationally decide whether pacifism or something else is more ethical.
That's a lot of words I don't give a fuck about. Jfc you're a whiney ass. Idngaf and at this point can't wait for you to get deployed.
MAGA-level conversation.
You would know.
