 im not sure i agree that people dont murder bad people because murder is illegal.

im pretty sure in the same way many people would have a hard time murdering a squirrel, are people pretty reluctant to murder another human being whether it is legal or not.

as in, if you are having atypical thoughts divorced from the emotional weight & the cost on the body .. im not really sure what the practical point of it all is

as in: a thought experiment for no purpose that wouldnt play out in reality anyway

just seems like a strange way to spend time?
but then, what do i know
& i do hope you are getting something from it even if i cant see what it is
