You must not understand materialism, or Marxism, or politics at all, then. These people whose lives you want to protect will kill you for less than a dollar.
if certain people pass away today, the world literally becomes a better place. Singular people uphold systems that would cease almost immediately if they were to pass.
Hitler is a great example of a man who literally should have died earlier and for some reason you just reallllyyyyy want to show you’re better than everyone by saying you wouldn’t want him to die. The world would have been better off he died earlier. Millions of people wouldn’t have lost their lives.
That’s not sanctity of life at all, that’s just being ignorant. It’s ok if people die. Everyone will die. Sometimes it’s good.
You’re telling me you wouldn’t even feel a little feeling of relief if you were alive during WW2 and you heard Hitler was dead?
No, I did not say that. I would indeed have felt relieved.
The man is already in a coma in a hospital bed and people is wishing him death, is he so dangerous in his coma that you should wish him to die?
Agreed, but it is not ok to wish death on people in my opinion. I do see a difference between people dying and wishing them death.
There's a difference with I hope Nazi Germany stops being Nazi and Hitler loses power and saying I want Hitler to die. The way in which Hitler loses power might as well be his death, but that is not the only way. In the same way, there are ways in which Hitler could have died but Nazi Germany persisted.
As a matter of fact Hitler did not lose power because he died, he died because he lost power.
Alright, now speaking morally, what if Senator McConnell is in a position where he can not consent to being a senator, or consent to remaining alive because he cannot speak and/or is literally brain dead? Because now, if you really care for Mitch: we have to have the conversation of is he in too much pain/suffering by being kept alive? Because then people wishing him death may actually be what he wants.
Seriously, edgy joke stuff aside I know that obviously people aren’t wishing him death because they feel bad for his pain. But to me, depending on his condition, it could be more mean spirited to say that you hope he lives because he’s in pain. Which, regardless of your opinion on if Mitch deserves it, is way worse than just dying quickly. I wouldn’t wish comatose torture against their will on my worst enemy.
My grandmother died this year. She was 94. 3-4 years ago she was walking around (with help usually), enjoyed seeing her kids and grandkids etc, still had Alzheimer’s but she would always love seeing her family and doing things. Last year or so, not so much. Apparently it was very hard for her to visit anyone even in a bed (hospice) and she struggled staying awake her injuries like in her knees never stopped getting worse and the Alzheimer’s obviously… It was time for her to get some peace when she left. It’s ok.
I say it in an edgy teehee funny way; but in all good-faith seriousness: It may be time for Mitch to go. It’s ok my friend. Let him go. He’s hurting
