If you think saying you shouldn’t murder criminals is apologism for crime then you’re more interested in vengeance than justice. There’s times when self defense would require it but this should not be the default.

    If you think a rape victim's unilateral right to guarantee their safety, liberty and happiness is supporting vengeance over justice, then I'll take it. No one who respects human rights will respect a paradigm that protects rapists while ignoring the reality of the situation and prioritizing the status quo over human lives.

    Imagine being more afraid of vengeance than of mass rape. Jesus Christ, you apologists are depraved.

    This is you talking past people again to push your uncharitable assumptions of my thoughts.

    If it is necessary to end an immediate threat, then it’s okay. If you hunt someone down later that’s the vengeance and retribution I’m referring to.

    I don’t want to live in a world where anyone with a deep enough grudge feels justified mowing down the object of their ire. Plenty of stories have explored this issue with revenge, recently it was The Last of Us 2 and I thought they did a pretty good job of showing what you do to yourself when you give into violent revenge fantasies.

    It’s very disappointing that you’re so ideologically up your own ass that you can’t have a reasonable discussion with anyone. Automatically assuming the worst so you can rant about how depraved everyone but you is. Look in the mirror, get some self awareness, and go to therapy.

    This is you devolving to dumb personal attacks because you don't have a valid point and you know it.

    You and I are both too old for that shit. Come up with a substantive argument and then we'll talk.

    Ohhh, I see what's happening.

    You're an alt account of the guy I just chewed out. Now it makes sense.

    My guy, if you're going to use alts to win a argument, the key is to not make it look obvious. You need to not use cookie cutter arguments and you certainly need to change around the type of reasoning you give, and use different examples in each account, so no one suspects anything.

    Look in the mirror, get some self awareness, and go to therapy.

    Lol the projection is real. Go outside and touch grass. And grow the fuck up and stop being a rape apologist.

    Am I an alt? If anything you just can’t read usernames. It’s funny that you accuse me of personal attacks considering everything you said to me and accused me of. Shows that you’re far from an intellectually serious person. I’ve had my fun talking to a brick wall so I wish you well.
