    There is absolutely no situation where targeting innocents is justified, otherwise you are as vile as the fascists, and your actions will only provide them with justification, and weaken the cause in the eyes of the civilian. You could certainly threaten the fascist with that to gain the upper hand, but civilians should always remain off limits, regardless of how low the fascist goes.

    There will always be more than enough legitimate military/political targets who have broken their oath and are “just following orders” from the dictatorship. Don’t get lazy or despotic.

      only a sith speaks in absolutes, also the previous post before this one was about how Israel has killed somewhere around 500 women and children and mass graved first responders for getting in the way of Israeli bullets, while due process has been paused in the US until further notice the post before that one

          it would be different if you were one of the people targeted i suppose and you are quite comfortable with them being murdered as long as you keep decorum maintained, that is the hill you are wanting to die on, decorum

          It always blows my mind how often i completely forget that the Nazis just saw the error of their ways and let everyone they’d imprisoned go. After a nice ice cream social, of course, just to let everyone know how sowwy dey were.

          Thanks for reminding me.
