PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT. Our own Aeronmelon is going through some shit at the moment and could use some help. Check it out here and consider an upvote or a comment to push it into activity. Sorry, not something I do often or will be spamming. But I care about my friend and if I can get a couple more eyes on his situation then I’m going to try to do what I can. (Last one I promise. Just twice. Not going to spam but dude is a big part of the Lemmy community, especially with Trek, and he deserves the help. And to the mods, if this doesn’t fit and you want to remove? Go for it. I completely understand it and I am sorry)
Edit: Oh wait I’m the mod here. Well, I say it is fine
you can’t rehab any of the big global names in unpunished crimes against humanity. Literally nobody can prove me wrong if they can’t even be detained temporarily
I don’t think the OP is trying to say that we shouldn’t use violence against active oppressors or as self-defence. It’s that we shouldn’t establish rules for revoking someone’s personhood so that it becomes okay to abuse them.
Its a matter of power, not crimes though. Grab Adolf Hitler when he’s just some asshole homeless guy who likes to draw badly, and he’s probably still gonna be an asshole, but you could totally make him a non-bigoted asshole.
Grab him in the bunker, its not worth it, and killing him has a lot more value to the world than his meth addled ass ever could.
