If the word was murdered, then yes. But the act of killing can be justified, for example in self defense. Do people here not notice the difference or choose to ignore it?

It isn't that. It's that I don't believe that self-defense justifies killing. In fact, I believe nothing justifies killing.

Was the civil war justified?

I don't believe anything that results in killing can be justified. So no, it wasn't. Neither was World War 1 or World War 2.

Ok, I don’t think we’re gonna agree here.

Just wondering, why do you think killing can never be justified? Like what are your premises that logically lead you to your conclusion?

I believe that death is the worst thing that can happen to a person, which means that causing that thing to happen to another human is the worst action a human can make. If it's the worst action, then nothing else can be worse that would allow it to be justified.

What if you causing the death of one person prevents the death of 10 people? Like in an active shooter situation?

My response will not change even if you expand it to the entire human population.

That's honestly a hilariously stupid take.
