“well if I were faced with the choice of killing or dying at the hands of my enemy I would stick by my virtue and choose to die” yeah I’m sure the other people in the killer’s to-do list after you weren’t hoping you would save them or stop the killer or anything. let that killer do their thing. what matters is that you preserved your ideological purity & potential future victims are just a silly abstraction from mean cranks, not your responsibility, jeez!

perhaps these are the mental gymnastics which allow someone to morally condemn resisting a genocide with violence
