Wouldn’t be me, cruelty for cruelty’s sake, but I respect the choice without objection.

Not even. The hangman, John C. Woods, was probably a sadist who simply enjoyed killing people slowly, unfortunately.

I’m just musing here, but isn’t revenge just another form of cruelty? Revenge gaines nothing, it loses more. It only achieves itself but then evaporates like cotton candy in a raccoon’s hand.

Revenge can be cruel. But it doesn’t need to be. One is getting back at someone who wronged you, the other is revelling in inflicting a wrong to someone. Different concepts.

Ah yes commiting one of the same cruelties the nazis did while feeling morally superior for it, truly one of the moves of all time

Not tolerating nazis and torturing them are clearly the same yes
