You see the problem here is you've decided what I'm arguing and suggesting people do, rather than actually reading my comment. I don't think I've ever stated anywhere that you can't apply any of what I've said to politicians rich CEOs and anybody else who's at it.
But there is a very important distinction to be made between the people who are actually hurting people and the people who are using them, because the people who are using them won't do anything on their own, they need their foot soldiers as you call them. Diminish their foot soldiers and you diminish their power too, it's all one thing. I'm pretty sure Sun Tzu probably has something to say about actually killing your enemies soldiers being worthwhile objective.
Again, hilarious. You've talked yourself out of correctness and into victim blaming. Congratulations, you're no better than them for the good of all mankind. Toodles.
I'm confused as to what your suggestion is. Do you think people who are "just followingorders" should not be held accountable for their actions because they were not the ones issuing the orders?
Hey do you remember the part of WWII where they landed on Omaha Beach then just sat there for the rest of the war killing wave after wave of dudes?
Yeah me neither, cuz it didn't happen. They pressed forward. They went for the commanders. The generals. They went for Hitler. Don't ask me stupid questions like that again.
And who did they have to kill to get to those people?
So you do understand that they were after an actual meaningful goal and not just there to commit murder on a bunch of nobodies.
So you do understand that they had to kill a bunch of nobodies to get to the important ones.
Out of necessity, and not as the one and only target of interest, yes.
