How is ‘I can do bad thing to bad man cuz bad man is bad’ anything other than a bad person using circular logic to justify their actions? Especially when the speaker is supposed to be Light fucking Yagami?
I don’t know the anime context, but it seems like a criticism of Luigi-types.
Violence is a very effective tool for social change and maintenance–for good or ill. One can advocate for violence without claiming any moral superiority and instead purely on the likely outcomes of that act of violence.
Light Yagami is the protagonist of the show/manga Death Note. basic premise is that he finds a magic notebook that will cause the death of anyone whose name is written in the book. He begins by only killing those who “deserve” it, but as they say “absolute power corrupts absolutely”.
So, this may be some meme shit I’m missing — but how exactly is circular logic anything other than a self report on the OP? You must understand that this is not a serious post based on the verbiage, right?
Whatever. This whole bleeding heart wounded puppy shtick. “Don’t be violent to bad people cause it will make you bad…”
Ok? Then…I’m a bad person. I’m a bad person who believes in equal rights for LGBT+, POC, women, and everyone under every goddamn banner that has been suppressed.
Fine. I’ll take that as a compliment. Im a bad guy for human equality. I’ll shank you to secure my best friend’s freedom to be with his husband.
You are literally saying to be peaceful with a group that wants to kill you and would prefer you did the peaceful thing cause you think that will stop them, but to them all they see am easy target…
I mean, who would you rather have
Bad guys who believe in equality for all
And giving people a chance to go further because our government would actually take care of them
Or
Bad guys who hate you for your pigment
Want to get rid of all Gays
Wipe out groups of different cultures from the face of the planet. Force women into servitude.
Pry into every crevice of our lives.
Tell us who we can and can’t vote for.
Invade all brown countries
Betray our allies.
I mean, I don’t know about you… but I know what bad guy I’m going with…

Crazy, because what I said is that this is a bad person using circular logic to justify doing bad things. Was Luigi’s reasoning circular? No, he was personally fucked over by United Health care and killed their CEO as a result. Nothing circular about that, there’s a very clear train of events that lead to his killing of Brian Thompson. Was it the right move? Who knows! But cutting the head off the snake that bit you is very clear cause and effect.
If you need to employ circular logic in order to justify your actions then your actions aren’t justified. The logic in the post results in kids being killed because their parents were ‘insert ideology here’. Logic like this is actually far more indicative of your average conservative voter than it is anything.
Blah blah blah. So many of you talk so fancy like. “It circular logic!” “That’s how a conservatives act…”
God, you’re tiring. I ain’t gonna kill no kid. But their parents who preach hate and carry out acts of violence? Nah, no quarter given.
I mean I’m honestly convinced that most of you who preach this b.s have never dealt with the true to the core nazis.
You are talking to a white dude who used to be a part of it. I only got out of it by the skin of my teeth. But most of em? They don’t care about your circular logic. They don’t care that you are right.
They just wanna kill you.
Kill you. Like what part of that don’t you get?
Do you talk to rabid dog? Or do you put it down?
Do you go “this is a circular thing, and if we don’t stop this act of violence, we are no better than the dog infected with rabies!”
And before you say it. No I’m not saying we should wipe out anyone conservative. But they need to know that their acts of violence against those them deem weaker than them will no be tolerated and be met with equal or if not more violence.
Stop actin like violence never solved shit. It’s solved plenty. It’s people who hesitate constantly and tell everyone else to never pick up arms against our oppressors that make violence useless.
Dealing with family and personal shit? Yea violence is bad.
Fighting against a regime of people who would love to see you raped and torn apart? Violence seems pretty logical to me.
But that’s just me dude.
I really got no problem with ya, I just don’t agree with you. I don’t think I ever will honestly.
I didn’t see the show, but your claim of circular logic isn’t even accurate. If it was “they were murdered because they were bad and you can tell they’re bad because they were murdered” that’d be circular. In this case maybe your concern is hypocrisy or double standards, but “I can do bad thing to bad man cuz bad man is bad” is the cornerstone of our justice system.

Fucked if I know, man, I’m just doing reader response.
Utilitarian violence

Also bad person using circular logic to redirect consequences away from themselves. Fuck OP.
