    I mean, empires have been sustained off the legitimacy of a 5-year old

    The people who did it could have easily imagined one of those kids decreeing the massacre of their families

        I don't say it to dunk on them, and the killing makes me really uncomfortable. I think the issue is not seeing the situation as real, not living in their present day in the midst of all the history that came before it.

        I think anyone would understand shooting down like, a German bomber that the Nazis decided to put a couple of babies in.

        yes, and when neolibs drone strike children, they imagine those children will grow up to be terrorists. perceived threat and actual threat aren’t the same thing.

        I mean, one of those is significantly more realistic. You make some other good points though

            no no worries, sorry the thread is kinda hostile, and you might be right about it being really useless. I still think if it was cut and dry, it's just a trolley problem, but you made good points that it might have been excessive and counterproductive. Either way it sucks, and someone is guilty for creating that situation, either directly or indirectly
