Are you 12? Is this really a serious question?Is it true that killing bad/hated people and stupids won't make me a good person?
First, we need to unpack the terms “bad,” “hated,” and “stupid,” since your entire moral framework seems to rest shakily upon them. These are not objective categories. “Bad” is a moving target that shifts wildly depending on culture, context, and personal bias. History is full of individuals labeled “bad” by one group and “heroic” by another. If your sense of justice depends on subjective branding, then congratulations, you’ve just reduced ethics to a popularity contest.
“Hated” is even worse. Hatred is an emotional response, not a moral verdict. If you believe someone’s unworthiness to live stems from how many people dislike them, then you’re not talking about justice; you’re just repackaging mob mentality with a false sense of righteousness. The same logic could’ve been, and often was, used to justify witch hunts, genocides, and every flavor of authoritarian cruelty imaginable.
And “stupid”? Well, I hope you’re sitting down for this revelation, but intelligence isn’t a crime. Nor is it an indicator of moral value. If you truly believe that being less intellectually capable, or simply thinking differently, makes someone worth killing, you’re not flirting with the idea of being a hero. You’re just rebranding eugenics with an edgelord filter.
Now let’s talk about the act itself, killing. You seem to be under the impression that removing people you’ve personally deemed undesirable somehow elevates you morally. This isn’t justice; it’s narcissism. Killing someone, regardless of your rationale, isn’t an automatic ticket to moral superiority. In fact, it often reveals the opposite. The idea that murder can be redeemed by the moral failings of its victim is the foundation of every tyrant’s bedtime story.
Ethics is not a scoreboard. You don’t “level up” by eliminating those you think are beneath you. If anything, the very impulse to do so reflects more on your insecurities than on their supposed inferiority. Good people don’t fantasize about thinning out the population based on arbitrary standards of intellect or likability. That’s not moral reasoning; it’s a power fantasy dressed up in philosophical cosplay.
In short: no, killing people you dislike, misunderstand, or look down on will not make you good. It will make you violent. And possibly delusional. But certainly not good.
If you have violent thoughts, you should seek professional help.
