How does this square with your belief of being good to everyone?

There's clearly a level which we agree is unacceptable.

It's not nearly that childish. I was talking about treating non-violent people well and you jumped straight to Hitler. Can we acknowledge there's a pretty big difference there?

Despite being against the death penalty I still feel robust self defense is essential. If someone is attacking you, being good to them is applying the appropriate level of force and not going out of your way to harm them extra for funsies. Even in the rare situation I'm fine with people being deleted, it should be that mundane. No torture. No pain. No consideration for what they've done. It's a practical necessity.

Of course there was a large difference. I needed one to see if there was a point where we'd both agree. We're largely in agreement otherwise too.
