    The notion, that a human life has “no value” is contradictory to all established standards of ethics and morality.

    Would you have lost sleep if any of the assassination attempts on Hitler had succeeded? Did you break out in tears, felt bereaved, when he shot himself, proclaiming that his people betrayed him?

    You can moral high-horse all you want. At some point you just don’t care whether someone makes it. That doesn’t mean that you want them dead – it means that they’re too much of an assclown to care about: Because either you stop caring about them, or you become a doormat for them. They will exploit and monopolise your empathy, making you lose the capacity to care about and aid people who are, indeed, more worthy of your empathy and support than fucking Hitler.

      “Nazi lives don’t matter.”

      “Nazis should follow their leader” (i.e. kill themselves).
