I'm a firm believer of "the less shell scripts the better".

Shell is awful, obfuscated, and should stay a scripting language

No amount of scripting is a replacement for code portability and shell script wrappers make software unpleasant to use, especially when they don't have completions. Why do we need to generate completions? Why can't we have good things in 2026 and have self-documenting software? Ironically I think the only use case that I don't mind is BusyBox

"But it solves this problem just fine"

Okay but can anyone read it once it's written. The only thing it has going for it is that it's not Batch.

And I mean, Fish and similar are fiine, but don't make script files coherent enough to actually replace shell scripts for me

To be honest, the real problem is that "kill all [blank]" is arguably a dogwhistle, not necessarily a call for a change. There's always gonna be some violence when resisting oppression, but the second you start believing "kill all [blank]", hate displaces solving the actual problem. [blank] can be anything, it can sound like a noble goal, but it's so easy to spin the wrong way.

I don't have to state all the things that can be filled in for [blank].

Do people say it ironically or as a hyperbole? Of course. But such a slogan can be used for plausible deniability for something really fucked up. Do I get offended or moved when someone calls to kill [white people]? No, of course not. I understand where they are coming from. Do I wanna be close to the person saying something like that? Honestly, it makes worry for how they treat other people

Because, even if it were something like [billionaires], it raises my attention towards other stuff they say. Like a dogwhistle.

Notorious example also being [men]. Is patriarchy bad? Absolutely. Do I believe they plan to kill men? Not necessarily. Does it give me an impression of a cult of empty phrases and toxic activism? Yeaaa. Catchy statements like (the unrelated) ACAB are often neat, but please make sure you're not deferring your thinking to punchlines without considering the implications
