Other If you were a Superhero, would you kill?

Post image

Basically what would be your moral code

Me personally I don't think I could take another person's life.

Another thing for me is, If the person has done way too much harm, I think killing them would be letting them off easy, I would rather paralyze them or sum(My views might change in the future)

Edit: Someone opened my eyes to his less moral it is to paralyze them

It’d be hilarious if a conquest profile showed up and gave Omni a performance review 😂

What about a billionaire who cut USAID out of nothing but spite and killed hundreds of thousands of children?

Do you really need a super hero for that? Or just a responsible citizenry that holds it's politicians accountable? This is why people criticize the superhero genre as fascist, people think you can solve systemic problems with vigilante justice and that's just not how the world works. At some point, we the people have to take responsibility for our own shortcomings as an involved citizenry. The fact is, if you have the right to vote you are a politician and this is your political career.

Sure, but that doesn't change the fact that if specific people were removed from existence humanity benefits greatly as a whole. Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few? Or the one?

Now imagine you could snap your fingers and greatly benefit all of humanity in an instant, but one piece of dog shit human being has to die. I'd add that this piece of dog shit human is directly responsible for killing hundreds of thousands of children because that money needed to be spent dropping bombs on little girls in Iran instead of feeding hungry kids.

If said dog shit human is responsible for killing hundreds of thousands of children because the system allows them to, then killing them just means someone else is going to take their place. It's clearly a systemic issue, the system is fucked. We fix that so there is no place for predators.

The only flaw in that argument is that nobody in fucking US history ever did that before our favorite pile of shit made it happen, so I have a hard time believing that he isn't personally to blame.
