At this point, it feels less “morally allowed” and more “morally required” that we defend ourselves.

If you cook the rich over a wood burning fire, it would be a net savings in carbon emissions, hypothetically speaking.

Usually but because it’s the environment then you would get labeled as a terrorist instead of being able to claim self defense. Sorry it looks like the corporations were more forward thinking and got some laws passed to label anything trying to protect the environment is now eco-terrorism.

Only kinda /s

Here is how ethics works:

• if I push a boulder on you I’m a murderer
• if I push a boulder that squashes you but on the way down the hill it grinds some flour your death is an externality and I am industrious.

Since we are in the latter case, it is not self defense. Too bad, so sad.

Yes.

It’s going to take the courts awhile to catch up.
