I'm not here to tone police your doomerism, but have you considered how the words "he's better off" might upset anyone who's lost family due to violence?

Please do your best to be considerate of the feelings of others on beehaw, it's the nice thing to do 💜

Well you're right, I can't argue with you there. The pervasive sense of doomerism and love of gun violence that is our modern society has turned me very cynical about death. I don't think you can have it both ways - culture of violence and also being upset when violence happens. That was really just where I was coming from.

Trust me no one is more pacifistic and in love with the idyll of a peaceful world than I am.
