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.

Your analogies seem to lack conscience.
Hou murder a murder to stop him from murdering. You lie to a liar to remove his advantage.
Why rape a rapist? It doesn't follow. Again - your mind is sick.

Your morality is basically an eye for an eye, but you are the judge, jury, executioner. So where is your line? Do you seriously not understand the absurdity? You let others control what you think is ok to do. A lie doesn't hurt them, it hurts you. You let others decide what behavior of yours is acceptable. It's a recipe for disaster, and you should look to our ancestors for wisdom.
I'm just pointing out how childish you sound mate. I've actually spent a lot of time in the past day considering your ideas, and I firmly disagree. I want to thank you for the ideas, but I reject them. Your morality is that of a teenager, all angsty and full of piss and vinegar. When you are ready, feel free to stop by the daily Stoicism posts in /v/dailystoic as I really think you would benefit. You can't change what happens to you, only how you respond. Make sure you are taking the right actions.
