Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    There’s no ethical way to kill someone who doesn’t want to die. This applies to more than just humans.

      Non-human predators that hunt, kill, and eat other animals…do you consider them unethical, or is it only unethical for animals capable of inventing the concept of ‘ethics’?

      If they are attacking me, would it not be ethical of me to defend myself and potentially kill my attacker?

        Not op, but in my mind this would depend on whether you have any reasonable means of de-escalation, e.g. running away

        If not then it’s not really ethical or unethical… it just kinda can’t be judged
