      I mean… Reagan not only cheered on the death of LGBTQ+ people, he actively caused many of those deaths because of his policy decisions during the AIDS crisis.

      Civility is out the window. But it was Reagan who threw it.

                  I showed you evidence that his administration’s official position was that it was fine for LGBTQ+ people to die of AIDS. Quotes from his press secretary, the official who speaks on the administration’s behalf. Audio recordings of the room, which included Reagan, erupting into laughter when talking about gay people dying.

                  I gave you more than enough evidence that he supported the death of LGBTQ+ people.

                  Your argument is insufferably pedantic.

      I never wish death on anyone. It what keeps us human.

      So, you wouldn’t wish death on, say, Hitler? Would you say those that did in WW2 were no longer human?

          Hitler took away the greatest prize of WWII so Russia could not have it and frankly that’s a monumental disgrace that he did that

          The title of “the guy who killed Hitler” is now a moot reward

          I find that a fundamentally ridiculous point of view, that human life is something so valuable that, paradoxically, no amount of human lives ended could ever justify wishing death on someone, but props for consistency, I guess.

              I choose not to dehumanize people.

              That presumes that wishing for someone’s death dehumanizes them.

              If Hitler had been captured, what would killing him have done? I am against the death penalty as well.

              Created an example and a precedent that rulership is not a shield against punishment? Removed a vile human being from existence? Avenged the literal millions of helpless innocents he ordered slaughtered?

              Just wish for a solution to the problem,

              Death is often a viable solution. Oftentimes more viable than the alternatives.

          All other options having failed, sometimes that means they’re no longer breathing.

          I just love (/s) how tone is policed harder than literal stochastic terrorism from the right.

            They can tolerate killing people, but they draw the line at uncivil words!

            (Unless of course those uncivil words are said towards the people being killed, then they conveniently didn’t hear them.)

          No, I would wish for his rule to be ended.

          Hard to rule when you are dead. Thats probably the reason why people cheer and not for the death itself.
