As with Batman, the number only remains the same if you only kill one murderer. Kill two, and that’s a net positive!

I dunno man, killing a genocidal maniac makes someone a hero in my book.

we’re no better than them. The slave doesn’t want to be better than the slaver, they want to be free.

There’s an argument that murder is unlawful killing of another human. If ending the life of a murderer is done lawfully, the number is m-1. I am not claiming that I support this theory, just putting it into the discourse as a thing that some folks could easily believe. Also, it’s semantics as the argument you’re making still perfectly holds if the word murderer is swapped for ‘killer’

If you kill a murderer, the number of murderers in the world remains the same… Lmfao, you really cannot be serious with this kind of reasoning, right? If you are serious, here’s an equally as ingenuous counter argument: If you kill two murderers or more you will have effectively reduced the number of murderers in the world…

If we’re fine with resorting to violence to get what we want, we’re no better than them This person doesn’t know how Nazism was defeated, and how tens of millions of people in Eastern Europe were saved from genocide by military might.
