It’s pointless sadism. It’s one thing to kill a nazi, by doing that you’re essentially protecting yourself and/or everyone that isn’t a straight white cis man. That’s violence which serves a purpose. Torture doesn’t help anyone.
There’s also their humanity to consider. I know, I know, nazis are worthless scum. But they are still sentient. They can still suffer. Which I guess is the point… But I don’t think that’s the kind of impulse we should be encouraging. Compassion is always the better choice. That’s our strength. That and our gigantic penises.
As the designated buzzkill, naysayer and contrarian I am obligated to declare that actually, torture is bad. Even if it’s a nazi.
Maybe it’s a little less bad. Okay if I HAD to torture someone, a nazi would be a pretty good pick. The only remotely okay pick, actually.
But overall, torture = bad.
You’re all welcome. I have much wisdom to share.
Why, though? Why would torturing a nazi be bad?
Because a quick execution uses less effort. Your energy can be used in a more productive way.
