        Shit man, I would pull up a picture index of the entire Republican party leadership as well as everyone funds and backs them and just start scribbling names down until my hand hurt and then I would just keep going powering through the pain.

      I think that’s one thing I couldn’t connect with with Death Note. Why bother going after criminals when there are tinpot dictators out there?

        Because Light isn’t a good person who’s corrupted by power, he’s a teen with a superiority complex who suddenly gets the power to kill a bunch of people. He is the tinpot dictator.

          This is very, very true.

          He’s mostly perceived as the good guy, because he’s the protagonist. And protagonists can get away with quite a bit of f’d up stuff.

        Yes. Also, most criminals are not evil, they were forced to do crime due to socioeconomic factors. Factors influenced by billionaires and politicians.

          I wonder if the Sarin Gas Attacks were an influence. At the time, the perpetrator’s executions still hadn’t happened yet and even discarding moral absolutism, they weren’t exactly motivated by needs or profits.

      Now see, that’s what friends are for.

      You get your freebie and take out one billionaire, then you hand it to your bestie, he takes out one billionaire, they hand it to their bestie, they take out one billionaire, and you know, twenty-five, forty-five people down the line, or one relatively moderate-sized college campus, and the world is a better place and nobody has to suffer in between heaven and hell for the rest of eternity because of it.

      Does your freebie have to be one person or can it be, like, a population? Can you deathnote every conservative politician in a go? That’d be one fuck of a freebie.

        The method of death can be specified, and it never says that you can’t summon a moderately sized bomb, or a virus that only kills under very specific circumstances. We’re dealing with the supernatural, let’s go a little wild.

        …honestly, it never said you can’t make the deaths wicked cool, man, so why don’t we have a pile of gold fall from the sky onto our hated enemy that just by happenstance happened to be near me. Strange how the gold is mostly gone, officer, but I swear, it was like a dragon’s hoard or something.
