I don’t ever want to celebrate someone’s death. The fact that we as a species still produce people who’s removal from this earth are absolutely worthy of celebrating is gross. The act of celebrating isn’t. Don’t get me wrong there. But what kind of awful world produces someone who’s so awful not only is his murder celebrated pretty much universally and it doesnt even chsnge anything? This is necessary violence but the fact that it is necessary and worth celebrating does illustrate how absolutely fucked and inhumane things are. I hate the ruthlessness I’ve had to adopt. I hate celebrating death even when I like it. I hope one day every death is an actual tragedy.
This is what I said to someone who has the ideal of there should be zero reason to enact the death penalty on anyone, and to someone who also seemed receptive to more leftist thought. Reading it again, I know I definitely libbed it up in places (sadly, I’m just really used to having to really watch what I say), though I was trying to keep it concise and get the point across.
