    Maybe amend the rule to “celebrating death of actual human beings”. There’s one person whose death will be celebrated far and wide, for sure.

        So you decide when it applies and when it doesn’t? Sounds like this community needs a new mod with some integrity

          We made an exception for an incredible war criminal, yes. Don’t expect us to do it for everyone.

            Just expect it for the people YOU don’t like? Policies made by these evil men can lead to death. If you make life harder for pregnant people, women, LGBTQ, etc., some of those people will commit suicide. Some of those people will die in child birth. Some of those people will see hate crimes committed against them. That doesn’t make them evil enough for you? Someone dying doesn’t erase the evil they have committed. Even those politicians that didn’t want to protect grandma during covid are pretty fucking despicable. They could have created policy that led to innocent elderly dying from a preventable condition. I would celebrate the death of all politicians that didnt do enough to protect public health. Jesus Christ, why do I need to explain this? They are literally public figures. They put themselves out there for us to judge.

      i mean while i agree, i don’t want to get into the habit of dehumanizing people (even if it feels fair play for any given specific person).

          Maybe we’re thinking of similar things, but I thought it took killing, not dehumanization. I mean it’s easier to convince a bunch of someones to kill someone else if you first dehumanize the someone else to the someones so I get where you’re coming from tho

        Agreed. The worst people in history were all still very much human. They had internal complexity that caused them to live the lives they lived and make the mistakes they did. And those humans were terrible people whose deaths deserve celebration, because they’re shining examples of which parts of humanity we should strive to avoid emulating.
