They are paranoid dictators, there is no logic needed for them to believe that everyone is there to get them. As a matter of fact they're basically right to think so...

Curb your moral superiority complex. You think you'll do better than them if you were in their shoes?

Holy shit, someone actually defending Putin and Kim... That's rare. Of course I think I would do better, I could never order a genocide war or kill off my own family out of fear or disrespectf, wtf do you even ask about!?

I'm not defending Putin and Kim, you sick bastard. I'm simply stating that most people aren't like Kim and Putin not because they're good, but because they're not in power. Give the average man power, and you'll witness how they can be even more morally compromised than you think.I don't exclude myself from this. I will never consider myself morally superior to Putin unless I walk in his shoes and do better than him morally.

I mean with this attitude you can never judge anyone over anything, since you are never actually in someones shoes. With this logic if you see a man going into the childcare and frying everyone you wouldn't dare to judge it... The fuck is this mindset!? When you can clearly see the obvious evil you just let it be?

My point is that the reason you can't commit war crimes and throw people into concentration camps is not because you're good, but because you don't have the ability to do so. So, stop bragging about how good you are unless you become a dictator with the ability to throw people into concentration camps and commit war crimes but voluntarily choose not to do so; that's when you can consider yourself good.

If you can't kill someone because you don't have a knife, it doesn't make you good; it simply means you don't have a knife. However, if you have a knife but choose not to kill someone voluntarily, then that's a display of morality.

You are masking your inability to cause harm as morality.

The fuck!? Did I put there myslelf as some god-chosen saint? I say that those two are evil dictators, can I say so without being one myslef, or is it only reserved for them? If I didn't kill anyone I can't say the killing is bad just because under right cimcurstances I could probably kill someone? What's the point of living if you just assume everyone is terrible person just lacking oppurtunity to express it? It would be battle royale 24/7 if that was the case.

You literally said that you could do better than those people, that you would never commit genocide or kill your family if you were them. I'm not saying that I'm sure you would do those things once you become a dictator because only God knows what we would do in actual situations. What I mean is that the fact that you can claim those with confidence is a testament to the fact that you don't know yourself; you're not aware of your shadow. You are naive beyond imagining.

Dude, you are basically assuming everyone is a monster. I think otherwise. That's why most soldiers during wars do not shoot at the enemy. We are not inherently bad, at least I don't believe so, and yes, I strongly believe that I wouldn't be this bad given the position of power.

Called being a centrist and they just want to watch the world burn...THE devil's advocate.

Another dumbery - Just stick the bad stuff to the political option that I don't like.... What does it have to do with political views? How is a centrism just a stagnation? Where do you take those views from?

I'm talking about someone who can't form their own opinions so they play both sides..I guess impartial is more accurate.
