There is a great spiritual debate about the right to murder.
I have already crossed that line - not on my own - and not of my own independent volition - but there it is.
How do I choose to live moving forward - my version of the golden rule.
Treat others at least as well as THEY treat others.
It's fine to lie to a liar but not an honest man.
A murderer is on the table for being murdered - as long as they knew what they were doing.
This leaves me with a quandary - a line I never crossed - a question for Voat:
If a propagandist intentionally spreads lies which cause wars - is their life forfeit for all the death they caused?
I believe now - based on the state of the world - the answer is yes. If you propagandize for war - the blood is in your hands and you deserve what is coming to you.

a propagandist is a soldier that doesn't have the balls to put his life on the line, if you live by the values you described, he is fair game, in fact i would argue even more so than the soldier he brainwashed
edit: but then much like a soldier, he obeys a chain of command, organized by the flow of money, you could make the argument that there are better targets than a propagandist

Yes, yes exactly. However in war we never get access to an enemy general - and their footsoldiers are the immediate threat.

Right, but before the war you can access anyone, just need money, organization and a couple trustee warriors to help the hit
