Am I in a position to target children with these weapons? Do I profit from commerce in these weapons? To I earn my daily bread manufacturing these weapons? The answer to all of those of course, is no. I sincerely hope that the answer is the same for yourself, but if it were not, then perhaps imagining (as we are doing here) your own family suffering such horrors would cause you to change your ways. Save your indignation for those who deserve it.

You:

Eh, fuck em. It's killing somebody's families either way, might as well be theirs.

Also you:

Save your indignation for those who deserve it.

lol. picard

If we're just talking hypotheticals here, why is it so hard for you to say that it would be bad, hypothetically, to kill a 3 year old with white phosphorus?

What you're apparently trying to say is that your comments advocating for killing entire families based on the crimes of one of their members is that you're posing this hypothetical situation to people here on lemmy who are in a position to target/profit from/earn a living from white phosphorus. And that doing so will perhaps get them to imagine the horrors and change their ways. Really? K. Keep fighting that good fight then. As a final note, believe me, those who deserve my indignation aren't getting any less of it just because I took a moment to call out a chuddy comment.
