@benroyce@mastodon.social @gocu54@caneandable.social @deepmud@mas.to I would like to think that it’s still possible to hold the belief that the United States #HealthCare system is an absolute disaster and the notion that taking another life is morally wrong at the same time without disonance. I am straight up against capital punishment, no exceptions. This includes both Luigi and the guy he gunned down. I’ve seen many of the rationalizations and they just don’t fly with me. I can’t help but think that it was just plain luck that someone else didn’t get hit along with the target. Maybe I’m just a bleeding heart pacifist, but I can’t condone this as a righteous killing. No doubt he was a prick of the highest order, but as has already been said in this thread, nobody has the right to act as judge jury and executioner. That’s just capital punishment by other means.

agreeing with everything you say, is it possible luigis are inevitable in a system that debilitates, bankrupts, and kills people for profit?

in other words:

i am not asking you to celebrate luigi

i am asking to accept that luigis are inevitable

if peaceful change is blocked by corruption of our legislative process

again:

not asking you to cheer, just asking you to acknowledge it will happen (if peaceful change is blocked)

what do you say to that?

@benroyce@mastodon.social @gocu54@caneandable.social @deepmud@mas.to At this point, I have no argument against this. And, yes, I concede that we are clearly heading down the road where many more Luigis could potentially be produced. In fact, so much has changed in the past 3 months that, for me, it defies comprehension. Those who are now in power are gleefully upending any and all things that many of us once thought were sacrosanct. And nobody is throwing themselves on the gearsof the machinery to even slow it down. So, yes, I can see how a Luigi could happen, and how we’re probably in for a whole lot more of that in the near future. Every day, little by little, humanity is dying.

Why or not can the same thinking be applied to rationalize events in #Gaza & #Palestine?
