  @theorangetheme@en.osm.town @jwz@mastodon.social As someone who remembers the Global War On Terror, my takeaway regarding torture is that you shouldn't do it. Period. End of story. Because even if you have no moral regard for the subject being tortured, engaging in torture is dehumanizing to you. "Where they burn books they will in time burn people." If someone thinks it's okay to torture anything, I would respectfully suggest that they need to spend a little time with their conscience and maybe a mental health professional to help sort sort things out. A couple years back, the boys found some trashy content on YouTube where the guy is like "hey, watch me play this zoo simulator and we'll see just how badly I can mistreat the animals." We forbade them to watch that. For their own souls. We should not have to debate torture. We should not have to debate torture. We should not have to debate torture.
