    As a consequentialist, killing evil people can have nothing but bad outcomes. What you described is basically praise of what the USA has done in the middle east for over 80 years.

      Yeah they totally shouldn’t have killed any nazis in World War Two. Only bad outcomes from that one.

        In WWII were we fighting to kill all the factory workers, bankers, and farmers who benefited from the Nazis while leaving the Nazis themselves alone or were we fighting the soldiers and politicians who created and protected the Nazi Dictatorship?

        Luigi didn’t kill a politician who opposed socialized healthcare. Luigi didn’t reduce the number of private healthcare firms by one single bit, it’s only set to go up under the new administration.

        Even the Nazis went to trial.

              No, you’re trying to be an absolutist about something you cannot be an absolutist about and it’s making you sound like a moron.
