Explain how wishing someone would die is unethical. Do you think the world works on Tinkerbell rules? Putin and Netanyahu are old men. Old men die. I wish they’d go ahead and die already. Where’s the lack of ethics?
There’s a difference between wishing death upon them and death my natural causes.
Do you think it’s okay to be going around and telling people “I wish you would die”? If it’s not okay for some people it’s not okay for all people per Kant
And no one here is telling Trump, Putin or Netanyahu that they wish they would die because chances are no one here would be able to get close enough to them to do it. And if they did, they’d be the ones who would die.
So you can keep bringing up Kant, but you’re being both inconsistent and bringing up something irrelevant.
It is some magical thinking that they want to participate in. Most of us would agree it’s not okay for the government to punish people for no reason. Therefore it is unethical to punish any criminals, per Kant. Lunacy.
I wish death on Putin and Netanyahu because they’re inhuman monsters. I hope that’s okay with you.
No, because I subscribe to Kantian ethics. You can’t make an ethical rule and add exceptions.

It’s not okay to tell people who aren’t actively committing atrocities that one wishes they would die. I apply that to all humans equally.
You didn’t say the method of death mattered.

Why do you expect others to subscribe to your particular interpretation of one particular philosopher’s ethical framework?
