This is one of those takes that's so controversial I'm afraid to post it, which is exactly why I have to.

I neither endorse nor disavow this, and no, I'm not in the picture.

So you're on the "gas them" side, then. One issue there is that it's against agreed to human rights principles, so we'll either need to reconsider those, or come up with a consistent way of dismissing them (like we have in warfare). There's also the slippery slope argument - maybe it's pedos today, but what about normal killers, and then people who steal from charities and the vulnerable, and eventually just normal people we don't like.

As for the politics: Lots of them are ordinary or poor. The vast majority, even. Hopefully you're not on the QAnon thing.
