It would be petty for the law to suggest it's okay to kill someone because you were stupid and they tricked you.
It's not because "you were stupid and they tricked you" it's because you were a victim of a psychological attack with grave consequences.
.It's faulty to accept things at face value. In any case the murder would have to be done in secret which is another red flag, doing it openly is also foolish. The manipulated will be guilty. Even in Satanism the only sin is being stupid.
So what if it's faulty? Innocent people do a lot of faulty things. Should a 3 year old be considered evil for accidentally shooting their father in the face?
On the basis that I messed up and was fooled into killing someone ? That's some unexplored territory I doubt I'll ever have to confront in this lifetime. It's so dumb I'd probably be more angry with myself, but yes, I'd be incredibly irritated with my manipulator, and whatever I do it'll happen soon and last very long.
Now you get it.
But damn, it's best not to be stupid to begin with, and the anger projected at them, should be aimed at the self for being a moron. I really have no gut reaction to the thought of this, nor can I begin to sympathize with someone who'd be fooled to do something like that, then place blame elsewhere.
Part of sympathy is realizing the differences in human beings, you kinda disregard that. Why not sympathize with those you deem "stupid"? Is it somehow morally wrong to you?
I'd probably have a panic attack, and the thought of the manipulator would potentially cause heart failure. I would have to breath and clear my head the best I can, then when I get it together, I'd go stab the fucker. At least, that's what would come to mind while I'm overwhelmed with how dunce I've been.
You may be overwhelmed, but you'd still be infuriated with the manipulator (as you said earlier).
I've visited some pretty dark places in my lifetime. I've been deceived, and when people try to deceive me, I can spot it. And I mean seriously, there are people who never matured, and think their tricks and tactics can work, and they insist things to support the things they wish you to believe, without evidence.
Well, not everyone has the power to spot these things.
Imagine watching someone learn the hard way, then they spiral out of control and start acting like an animal toward their aggressor. To be honest I don't know if I can convey to you how that looks to me, but it's something I avoid becoming. It's the way down.
Not trying to sound like an angel, but Instead of seeking satisfaction from enraged revenge, why not take responsibility for being deceived ? It's possible to do I assure you. It's when we do that, the imperfections and the errors become valuable to our grander self, and we even feel better, instead of carrying the torment for the rest of our lives. When it's all better, you can strangle them to death if you want to. You'll have to do something about them, it's too much trouble.
Most people don't expect something so tragic to happen. That's on the same level as asking someone for taking responsibility of being randomly assaulted on the street.
What have you gotten yourself into for you to ask these questions ?
Nothing, I am capable of abstract curiosities.
