I know what you were trying to do, and I understand your sentiment. However, ultimately, personal consistency doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things, right? If I smoke cigarettes, I can still tell people not to smoke, right? My smoking doesn’t undermine the science or the message. However, my concern is that this “KILL THE RICH” platitude has been so adopted by the online left that it’s making us look, as a whole, like psychopaths; and, considering that, it’s now beyond “individual consistency” and more in the territory of “stupid zeitgeist” that does more harm than good. Honestly, what I see right now is a bunch of LARPers that make the left look crazy, and I feel like, ultimately, that’s harmful. The fact that I get so many downvotes is just kinda a reinforcement of this impression, as well. It’s a sad time to be alive when widespread murder is the political chant, in any day/age… lest we become the monster, and all that. That’s all.

Such as in wartime. And this is war, but most people are far too blind to see this.
Are you a literal slave? If you play with meaning, you can turn everyone into a slave and kill everyone. Is that what you want?
Are you a vegetarian? Just curious.
vegan, actually.
There ya go. Carry on then.
I respect life? sorry?
They intended to “gotcha” but you dodged.
It would have been a self-gotcha. But since they’re consistent - as you were.
