    I would kill people that don’t deserve it (no one deserves it really), but those people, or rather groups of people, are inherently intertwined with the maintenance and proliferation of global power structures that feed off of inequality and suffering.

    Their sudden absence will have unforeseeable consequences of course, but the world will be incredibly more based without them.

      I call bullshit. Would you claim Hitler, Stalin, or Mao didn’t deserve death?

      Be careful when speaking in absolutes. The world is rarely black/white

        Well, yeah. I believe in rehabilitive incarceration. Of course they likely wouldn’t be let out ever again, and given their control of their countries military; killing them would likely be the only option (unless we had a death note >:3).

        *Like they would have mandatory cognitive therapy which would create opportunities for them to right their wrongs as much as possible by communicating their new thought processes to their ‘followers’.

      The issue is that with a death note, you’re a global power structure that feeds off inequality and suffering now.

        that feeds off inequality and suffering now

        How would that have any connection to a Death Note? You can’t just throw that accusation out there without logic backing it up

          Getting murdered sucks. Being friends or family of someone who got murdered sucks. Using the Death Note inflicts great suffering.

          As long as the Death Note user remains anonymous they can avoid any sort of accountability, while they can hold others accountable to whatever standards they wish. Using the Death Note creates inequality between the holder and everyone else.
