Can be addressed with assassination politics aimed at slavers and child abusers.

We can solve [crime against humanity] by [commiting crime against humanity]

That's literally just a government lol

[โ€“] explodicle@local106.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But without the monopoly on killing slavers and child abusers.

Yeah, you gotta take some risks. There's no magical fix to bad shit. We just do our best and try to do better.

You think it's a crime against humanity to kill a slaver?

[โ€“] Jazard23@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is a crime against humanity to willingly take a life, no matter how vile the person

Very nice of you to link that, I don't see how this disproves my opinion, as murder is still mentioned on multiple occasions

[โ€“] explodicle@local106.com 1 points 1 year ago

Those mentions are of systemic state-run murder. That doesn't make every murder a crime against humanity, especially vigilante justice against literal slavers.

"assassination" is the crime against humanity, although pretty sure it's "only just" a war crime. Although when not carried out by a govt agent, since we're talking a hypothetical libertarian society and solution, IDK if 8t can be called that.

Why do you believe that killing (or whatever we call it) a slaver is either a crime against humanity or a war crime?
