Has no sociological imagination

The initial ideas that drive him in the beginning are that people are no longer functioning in a larger social structure and that their true beliefs don’t reflect the way they typically act “most people would say ‘it’s just wrong to kill people’ but on the inside…”

kills people en masse without considering what might be driving them towards criminality in the first place.

He’s literally able to deduce that Yotsuba Kira is not the original Kira (himself) because the original Kira (himself) did take circumstances into consideration and would show mercy and the other Kira did not.

Believes that societies flaws are due to individual failings rather than systemic ones.

He literally bullies the CIA out of operations and if I recall, his actions lead to most global conflicts stopping. He does bring up war as a problem and government corruption as a problem along with corporate corruption occasionally. So I’d say this point is pretty off the mark too.

Operates purely under the definition of criminality set by the state.

He (and Mikami) literally slaughter a huge organization that is ripping people off in the name of Kira. Their scam was legal, but it was evil, so they died. He kills 21 FBI agents because they’re annoying him. He kills multiple cops and law enforcement that were otherwise innocent. And, as aforementioned, he takes pity on criminals who were convicted but had understandable circumstances. While his morals may overlap with the state they are definitely not “purely” set by the state.

White

Japanese. However this one is probably the most accurate statement in this image. He is a rich kid from a stable family, is not a minority in his country, and if he receives any bias it is positive and not predjudiced against him.

Disincentivizes criminality using fear tactics rather than rehabilitation and economic incentives…

It’s called a deathnote not an infinite-source-of-economic-and-medical-resources.

Says he’s going to start killing homeless people

I do not recall this but maybe I’ve simply forgotten.

Anyway, I tend to dislike people who try to pick out random specifics like this. You shouldn’t hate him because he’s not going about things efficiently or without considering other perspectives or whatever else. You should hate him because he’s a manipulative bitch with an obsessive god complex that leads him to cause massive amounts of pain and suffering to those around him and the rest of the world too.

He knows that people are corrupt that they’ve rotted the world and that it just tends to become like this. So he should know that no matter what, the world will fall right back into chaos unless he lives forever, which again he knows he won’t.

He is either completely beyond reason, blinded by the idea he can truly fix the world in a way that clearly won’t work, or much more likely he just wants to be god and just uses morality/justice to rationalize this desire.

He's not a bad person because he’s slightly inconsiderate or believes in state set laws. He's a bad person because he’s willing to slaughter thousands of people just to feel powerful.

He still fucked up. He should have started by working his way down the list of richest people and list of fascist dictators. Killing billionaires does a lot more to scare the people responsible for crime than killing random murderers does.

You CAN permanently fix the world. You just have to kill all the capitalist billionaires and politicians. Then let the communists implement communism with no organised opposition.

Communism really worked out great so far for all the countries that attempted. Sure... It will work out this time! And lets suppress anyone that disagrees with this form of government, what can go wrong?

You don't know what comunism is

[–] timestatic 1 points 4 hours ago

Sure bud, if you say so :>

Drag doesn't think you've heard of any of the nations that actually did communism. Google Australia.

[–] timestatic 0 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Why are you referring to yourself in the third person. And why are you referring to australia, a country that clearly has no communism

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 2 points 12 hours ago

Drag isn't referring to dragself in the third person and Australia had sixty thousand years of communism.
