If you think that "looks perverse" you're simply incapable of distinguishing between good and evil.

This isn't really any different from the people who call Rittenhouse a murderer.

Imagine if Rittenhouse, after having legitimately defended himself, started taking kawaii selfies with the bleeding bodies and then started meme'ing on Twitter about his kills.

Doesn't mean you're against his defense, it just means... hey man, this is still real human life, have some respect.

Exactly. This isn't a game. We should not be so light about lives being taken. Period.

It's a war. Dehumanizing your enemy is psychologically healthy.

Killing Russian soldiers is something to be celebrated. They signed up to kill Ukrainians for money (Russia is using hardly any conscripts; they're being kept on Russia). They're evil people and their deaths are not tragic.

And or course, shells are just a weapon system. They're not exactly showing dead Russians here. They're celebrating the gun.

I'm done with you. This is sick. That is the programming of the state to keep us in a perpetual war with our fellow man. Not seeing them as human makes killing easier.

What's sick is intentionally hitting a children's hospital with a missile to try to depopulate Kyiv. Deeply evil Russians did that. Not Ukrainians.

Genocidal wars isn't stopped by agonizing over the humanity of enemies like that. That kind of war is stopped by killing the psychopaths perpetrating it.

That's my photo BTW.

I think I know the answer but it sounds like you consider all Russians as evil. That's where we disagree. Bombs kill both the good and evil. Bombs are warrented in war but trivializing it is tasteless and shows a lack of humanity. Also invites propaganda from the other side as evidence of these things. It's just dumb to do it.

Artillery is a relatively short range weapon, ~20km max.

There's hardly any Russian civilians in range of artillery. Pretty much the only people who are going to get killed by those shells are Russian soldiers, the vast majority of which are volunteers who signed up to fight for money.
