I don’t think there’s a lot of bad people in the world as in people with bad intentions. I’d say they are ignorant and selfish.

I find that it’s pretty much the same if not worse on here on certain topics. Like you might agree on the problem but if you disagree on the solution as generally accepted by whoever sets the agenda you are the enemy. I’m banned from some political instances because I have dared question the progressive’s positions/solutions on certain topics. Like apparently because your goal is morally “right” that justifies using stupid ass solutions instead of attempting to fix deeper rooted issues.

Oh I’m also generally allowed to say retarded on here, but we’ll see if that’s true.

Two decades of “just learn to code bro”, will do that to a profession.

When the intention is just to kill the person then it’s just murder. Both murder and assassinations are homicides. When the attack isn’t planned, at least legally, it is considered manslaughter. So the only possible definition left is that an assassination is a killing that serves an end instead of being the end itself. Thats were I got it from, working logically through the definitions.

But just in case: https://www.britannica.com/topic/assassination

We are pretty much arguing the same position, my definition was just a little broader because I think limiting it to “prominent persons” is a little hazy. Was the CEO that Luigi supposedly killed a prominent person? I can’t even remember their name and I certainly don’t know their face so I wouldn’t consider them prominent. I’d argue this is the case for most people in regards to that case. Yet the fact of the matter is that that situation was also an assassination.

I think it is fair to label something as an assassination if the death is actually only a means to an end and not the end itself. For example a prince assassinates his father to become king. The true goal is becoming king, but in order to do that the prince needs to kill the king, but the killing itself is not the end goal.

So most politically motivated murders are assassinations, because the death itself is a means to other ends.

In reference to how socialism will truly come about, Marx literally criticized the kind of thinking that dominates left wing thinking nowadays.

Sometimes I wonder how many “Marxists” really have read Marx.

The rhetoric was “we’re going to kick out all these criminal illegal aliens”. People being stupid as they are so fond of being, hear that as “criminals who happen to be immigrants”; instead of what he really meant which is “everyone who is here illegally is breaking the law and therefore is a criminal”.

Trump’s super power is exploiting the average person’s total lack of capacity or willingness to engage in critical thinking.

You need to put it in context, many if not most of the denominations that came to America seeking religious freedom did so because continental Christians considered them extremists. So yes, they were seeking it only for themselves.
