    I’m aware of the quote being for that reference. But I wanted to extend the quote to be more applicable to general life.

    Of course lethal force is rational as proportional self-defence, hence why I specified the ‘not too eager to let live’. Because while mercy and kindness are a Good, it is no good if that comes at the cost of your survival as eg. a minority. You gotta reason with most, but you gotta punch a fascist.

    While it’s a great quote, I’ll add an amendment:

    “Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death or to let live in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.”

    Live and let live works, but only if the other also does so. When one does not allow you to live as you want, because what they do harms you, then that ends there.




  • Don’t forget the country largely having far right politics inventing threats as it sees fit (and those politicians even being remotely extremely popular), with the goal plainly said, being genocide.

    The government needs to be denazified, and the people educated on how what they do is also harming themselves. All should be compelled to watch footage of what they are effectively doing there.

    YouTube used to play the music in the background without Premium. They also removed community subtitles which has led to many many videos being unsubtitled, which has helped nobody.

    and it used to have only one skippable ad every few hundred vids. Most of the ad revenue doesn’t go to the creators. Why else do you think many Youtubers just have a Patreon or direct pay instead these days?

    so uh, still rewarding greed.
