I was going to say, "We should go back to killing people," but then thought better of it. We should start killing shitty people.
"But who will decide who is shitty?"
"That's the fun! Anyone!"
"But then I won't know who I can be shitty around!"
"And then?"
"I would have to be a moderately less shitty person."
"Yeah ..."
"But what if someone starts killing random people without cause?"
"Sounds pretty shitty. Kill them."
"But what about the innocent people who are harmed?"
"Let's not pretend to start caring, now that your head is on the block."
"What if someone kills you?"
"I'll be dead. I won't have to deal with these shitty people anymore."
"Why not just kill yourself?"
"Because I believe that my life has meaning and that I am helping people."
"But what if someone thinks that the meaning you have selected is shitty?"
"Again, I will be dead."
"So how can we know what is and isn't shitty behavior?"
"It'll work itself out if we maintain the system with some degree of fidelity."
"This would just create a society where literally person would have to agree on what it means to be shitty."
"Yeah, that would be dope."
"This is horrifying and short sighted."
"Yeah. Pretty on-brand for people."
"Yep."
"Yep."

LOL. Perfect. Thank you.

I disagree. How would killing help? It would only increase the grieving.
this feels very "if you kill a killer then the number of killers in the world stays the same". the thing is, it's the number of victims that matters.
Well, I'm not a big fan of violence in general. There has to be some more peaceful solution, or it's not a solution in my eyes at all.
what would you have done about world war II?
Well I'd argue that we are not in the same situation than WW II anymore.
then lets assume a similar situation pops up, as they do from time to time. someone is hellbent on violence, is already committing a lot of violence, and is escalating rather than stopping. How would you architect a peaceful solution to that, and what would you say to the families of the people who were killed while you were architecting that peaceful solutions. It's all well and good to say "there has to be some more peaceful solution" but then you have to actually find it and implement it.
