      They are not the same as a comment that I just read that says, and I quote, “Yes we’ve had first CEO assassination but how about a Second?”

      If you think they are the same then you are part of the problem.

        Calling for increased police and war budgets is calling for the deaths of thousands. You’re right- they’re not the same. The pro-war and pro-cop are far more violent.

        No, you…

        (they aren’t the same, a state’s monopoly on violence, which they inflict on their own, and other, citizens with impunity, and which you are not only consenting to, but defending, is infinitely worse)

        Yes, they are the same. Advocating for more cops means you want innocent people to be murdered. But they’re poor so they don’t count I guess. Celebrating the West feeding the doomed Ukraine led war means you’re happy when the poor die – rich Ukrainian aren’t dying, the ceos of Ukrainian industry aren’t dying, they won’t be affected.

        The scale is different, but that’s because there are fewer people with money and power.

        no, you are. the quote you gave is infinitely less harmful than any advocacy for war or cops.

        wow, they called for a second murder? of the worst people on earth who contribute nothing to society but always do great harm? including auto-denying sick people to let them die or otherwise suffer?

        I can tolerate killing thousands of people, but I draw the line at 2 demons!
