I took your abso-fucking-lutely absurd analogy and ran with it. Skill issue on your part.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No, you’re trying to be an absolutist about something you cannot be an absolutist about and it’s making you sound like a moron.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I think I understand your confusion. The statement was never absolutist. It was:

Killing evil people CAN have [nothing but negative outcomes.]

It does NOT say:

Killing evil people WILL have [nothing but negative outcomes.]

To reiterate the statement for you, it says that a murder does not always yield any beneficial results. Does that help you?

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So your point is that murder may have beneficial consequences, or it may not, correct? Because nobody here or ever in the history of man is arguing that murder always has positive consequences.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No, that was your point. My point was that random murder in the streets is and should be illegal.
