Every statist thinks he supports the "more moral" one ... there is no moral state. You'd know this after reading some common sense, logical arguments about the state's (every state's) practises and existence. Read some Rothbard. Your bio says "objectivism, capitalism" Ayn Rand is turning in her grave 😵

Ayn Rand believed in having a state, dumb ass. I'm literally voicing ideas SHE convinced me of. Maybe you need to go read more of her work before using her as a fallacious attack against my argument.

I find it hard to believe Rand would promote bombing kids and poorfucks as a legitimate state function. Think it's you who should read up on her work. You might also find researching problem -> reaction -> solution useful https://image.nostr.build/c01d77e94bdbc0c22ac365eec8a942d32919285cb80158f48e311a8196fbe77d.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1030x1280&blurhash=_YKdoK%3Fc%24wM%7B%23QSgt8%7EWWANrxZelt6bcR-IUX8xukCRlS4OaWnjFWoSOWYaKS%25W%3Bi_W-o%7Dt7adNaMx%24yt6WWn%24odslM%7Bs8a%7BRjfhjvxuR%2CkBkCj%5BayR%2BR%3AofR-jsofofj%5B&x=cd1ca8545c6e8114cb827ecabbb21fe3c923c847e254ae10faa7c6e9fd3fd5ad https://image.nostr.build/50e94b24002c127368dd25e1d5fbd4b095af74cdc55f94b7d23ad9c0cec0a516.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1080x1106&blurhash=%7C9AJ%24daK4%3ANL9GRj-pNGoc4px%5D-pxZxao0M%7BoeWBK6%252t6Ri%252t7M%7BxtRj%7EWj%5BRkkDM%7BR*xtM%7Bax9FWF%25M%25LozkBaeWBRj-%3B%252M%7CIVWCofofoeWBD*og%25LWEoJV%40WVWAfPE2ofogt6kCWVWBofaxxZtRRjRjRjWBt6R%25of&x=bc7f0fc9cf1838b3c676be9364c2c0cc8b52f52ee2423191bd9569cad3aa4994 https://image.nostr.build/b9eacf07ddb2b9ccccdf8d9d125d274d6031658c691aa817af6185ed778dcade.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=838x1280&blurhash=%5ERK1%25gRjIUWBM%7BWB00xtt7j%5Bt7fQD%25WBofofWBof%7EqWBfQWBWBj%5Boyj%5BWBj%5BofWBD%25ofofWBofayIUWBkCofWBof-%3Bayj%5BayayfQxujtWBayofWB&x=086bbf75bf6c5e3e5def6b2010d6e000c37c34eb3efb56d0fe23141fd82872c9

I don't care what you believe. Israel has a duty to destroy the enemies who attacked it, even if those scumbags hide behind children. That is on Hamas and those who enable them (the people who allowed them to exist in power), not Israel. Rand doesn't have to agree with my every position for me to have one, as I know how to think, but she definitely would agree with me. You've clearly read very little of her work. Here's her proving you wrong since you're too lazy to check for yourself. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s1YnAtQtueg&pp=ygUZYXluIHJhbmQgaW5ub2NlbnRzIGluIHdhcg%3D%3D

Gazans should have considered the consequences of Hamas before it went and started a war with another country. They don't get to play victim after the fact while still allowing them to continue being a threat. They should kill Hamas themselves. Hamas is clearly the more evil government and therefore has no claim to moral superiority. They should all die.

There's no need for this. Formenting hate between peoples is a divide and conquer technique and your position is playing right into their script. Wishing for people you do not know to die solely based on media/government claims is a symptom of too much propaganda. It's the same as a cop believing he's serving the people, protecting them. While we hate each other the controllers have a grand time sponging off of us and watching us kill each other, all the while trying to convince us this is "human nature." It's not and we shouldn't. This world is heaven, up to us to keep it that way.
