    Currently, as far as I know, there is only one strong argument against the death penalty, and it has to do with moral proscriptions against treating the death of a person as a spectacle, which I notice nobody mentioned.

    Nah I think not killing innocent people is a pretty strong argument, death being a spectacle doesn’t really matter to me- someone killing someone is much worse than the part where they post it on LiveLeak

      If you’re so against killing innocents, I assume you’re vegan. Or… is your morality as twisted and inconsistent as I suspect?

          So your morality is arbitrary, and at least we can both agree that the chicken has more reason to live than you do.

            Yours isn’t? Where does it come from?

            both agree that the chicken has more reason to live than you do.

            You’re clearly not trolling

              Your morality isn’t arbitrary?

              This is literally nihilism.

              I’m genuinely happy to discuss metaethics, but I’m getting a sense that you don’t actually care about ethics very much, given your nihilism.

                No, it’s not.

                Nihilism requires intentionally rejecting morality. Accepting that any belief is inherently arbitrary, but still caring about that, is not nihilism
