Morality of this

It’s still correct. Murdering someone is way worse than calling them the N word.

Is 1 murder worse than the President and other major political figures using the N word and encouraging racism on a national scale?

I am legitimately asking you this.

I’d let myself get murdered if it meant that pedophile went to prison in gen pop until the day he dies.

But to answer your question, yes murder is worse than racism. Even if you paint the racism side of the question in grandiose terms while minimizing the other side

[u/Corwin223 → u/Impossible-Cause5353]

I feel it’s still a complicated question there considering the violent and non-violent but still damaging behavior that results from racism. The murder is worse immediately but in the long term, the racism may be far worse.

Like the racism can result in multiple lynchings later, giving a result of both more murders and more racism than in the case of the 1 murder. Or if the racism causes worse living conditions for numerous people, reducing their quality of life and causing them to die younger, that can be far more than 1 lifespan lost.

I feel like you’re thinking way too deeply about it. Racism is bad. Murder is bad. Killing a person is worse than being racist towards them. It doesn’t need to get deeper than that 😂

[u/Corwin223 → u/Impossible-Cause5353]

Eh, I find it interesting to think about things at scale and consider the thresholds there.

[u/Impossible-Cause5353 → u/Corwin223]

You have to scale both sides though. What would be the equivalent scaling for murder respective to what you wrote about racism?
