I don’t like making people feel bad. I have a problem coercing people. I have a problem enslaving people. I have a problem hurting people. I have a problem torturing people. But I have no problem at all killing people – in fact, we do too little of it. There is no excuse for causing human pain and suffering – and anyone who engages in it is a threat to all of us. And that is the only reason to eschew the imposition of suffering – because of what it means about our own people. But in competition and conflict, killing people – and as many of them possible – is the necessary, right, just, and moral thing to do. Eliminating a problem and reveling in the suffering of others, are two different things. Killing people, and often a lot of them, is merely solving a problem. And better yet, if they know that is your position you will be much less likely to have to engage in it. So the commitment to killing people, and a lot of them, albeit without causing suffering, is the best means of ensuring one does not have to.

Punish the wicked.
