Beating nazis while cosplaying as Gordon Freeman? Where do I sign?

The incompatibilitist consequentialist in me says no but the cathartic revenge hedonist in me says yes.

I dunno what them big words mean, but I see a yes in there and thats all I need to hear

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Breaking it down, the 'no' comes basically from "Free will doesn't exist so no one can justly be punished and violence just causes pain and a cycle of more violence"

The 'yes' comes from "We're all dead one day anyway and it is intrinsically pleasurable to harm/kill people who have wronged me, my loved ones, or any innocent people. "

The latter is actually a more unethical embrace of pleasure.

On a broader scale though I'm against both the death penalty and revenge/vigilante killing, but I actually think the latter is comparatively less unethical in a vacuum. At least in the case of revenge/vigilante killing someone is getting something out of it.

How does one rehabilitate another with a crowbar?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago

I'd bring my small box cutter, but I think a crowbar would be more effective. That, and I wouldn't wanna waste a perfectly good box cutter on street trash.

I believe many people carry with them a deeply buried desire to hurt people, but their morals keep them from doing it to just anyone. But they yearn for a chance to do it without moral repercussions.

You don't get to be the apex predator spread around the whole world without a love for violence ingrained deep inside the species hearts.

So, agree more or less. But also I think the desire can be nuanced, like personally I don't want to just commit random violence but I do wish some folks would get hurt or killed. I think it's like that for most of us.

I know I couldn't do it, and I don't want to either. If I fantasise, it's about using stern words that make them rethink life choices at most. The vilest of people don't deserve to give me trauma from using violence, even without repercussions in heaven or whatever, I really don't think the human psyche is built to perform violence against humans. Maybe animals. With humans I am fully convinced it damages the assailants ability to feel safe and okay, even if the recipient deserved it
