Just reposting this excellent point from lemmygrad
Fuck you. Killing children is never necessary. If you can’t understand that, I don’t know what else to say.
the enforcement of authority of the proletariat must be carried out agaisnt the former oppressors.
Children were never the oppressors you fucking ghoul! You remind me of the goddamned apologists for the US nuking Japan “anything done in the name of furthering the goals of my side, even deliberately to innocent people born in the wrong place at the wrong time, may seem icky but thems the way it is. I’m just being practical.” Not only does the argument rest entirely on a possibility of what might happen, it’s completely unjustified regardless.
I don’t think it’s fair to equate the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people and the injury and radiation poisoning and genetic defects of countless more to killing, what, 5 children? That’s absurd. You’re blowing this completely out of proportion.
You can argue it’s wrong but I can’t imagine getting upset over something like that. There’s a simple matter of scale to consider.
And again, that’s exactly what the fascist apologists for the dropping of nuclear bombs on innocent Japanese civilians say.
“I can’t imagine getting upset over something like child murder.” I almost put in one of the disgust emojis here but it felt like it was too light-hearted for the disgust I’m actually feeling right now for people I used to think of as comrades.
