So, you wouldn't wish death on, say, Hitler? Would you say those that did in WW2 were no longer human?
Hey! Say what you want about Hitler, but he did kill Hitler. Show some respect!!!!1!!
Hitler took away the greatest prize of WWII so Russia could not have it and frankly that's a monumental disgrace that he did that
The title of "the guy who killed Hitler" is now a moot reward
I find that a fundamentally ridiculous point of view, that human life is something so valuable that, paradoxically, no amount of human lives ended could ever justify wishing death on someone, but props for consistency, I guess.
That presumes that wishing for someone's death dehumanizes them.
Created an example and a precedent that rulership is not a shield against punishment? Removed a vile human being from existence? Avenged the literal millions of helpless innocents he ordered slaughtered?
Death is often a viable solution. Oftentimes more viable than the alternatives.
All other options having failed, sometimes that means they're no longer breathing.
I just love (/s) how tone is policed harder than literal stochastic terrorism from the right.
They can tolerate killing people, but they draw the line at uncivil words!
(Unless of course those uncivil words are said towards the people being killed, then they conveniently didn't hear them.)
Hard to rule when you are dead. Thats probably the reason why people cheer and not for the death itself.
