      I mean I don't even agree with the premise that "it's inappropriate to wish someone dead". It's inappropriate to engage in _stochastic terrorism_, sure, but if Hitler were alive I would probably devote several hours a day to wishing he was dead

      Saying "I wish [x] were dead" isn't the same as "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?", it's not a death threat, it's an expression of powerful and severe hate

      I mean in a lot of languages the line between "expression of hate" and "desire to commit murder" isn't articulated clearly in translations I'm given to understand that in Farsi, "Death to America" just means "Fuck America"; it does not actually mean "Let's Kill Every American"

      Anyway It's pretty much only ever marginalized people who get admonished for wanting anyone to die Other people can openly, repeatedly tell us our lives have no value from the cradle to the grave and we're constantly told we have to hear them out and respect their worth

      For that matter I don't get why it's not worse when ppl say "you belong in a mental institution" To be clear, what they mean when they say that is that I should be removed from society forever, deprived of my autonomy and medicated until my personality is irretrievably shattered

      That's what these people mean when they derisively tell people they should be institutionalized It literally means "you should be taken away against your will and tortured to death"

      But somebody telling me that on Twitter is totally okay and non-actionable whereas me wishing that a truly horrible person was dead is haram. Got it.

      Man I'll get down to brass tacks here I'm too canny to name names in a public space but I'll just say that if I had the Death Note I'd use it without a moment's hesitation If that disgusts and disturbs you then I don't know how the fuck you've been following me this long

      Yeah the only way you can argue against this is if you're an actual pacifist (an admirable I suppose but deeply practically infeasible position) or else if you're so incredibly Lawful you think the rules of war and shit are actual, objective *moral laws*

      And both of those are principles completely foreign to, say, any government in the history of the world, including all the ones that signed the Geneva Conventions in practice

          The rules of war forbid assassination because, on a pragmatic realpolitik level, they recognized that if you don't maintain the soldier/civilian divide the whole game falls to pieces and anyone can justify doing anything

          But if you actually think a uniformed Wehrmacht soldier -- likely as not some stupid terrified 17-year-old draftee -- was more deserving of death during WWII than Hitler himself or any of Hitler's shitty Nazi politician buddies your moral sense is completely broken
