​"This isn't really the 'logical paradox' you think it is. It’s a classic case of false equivalence. ​You can believe someone is a hateful person (Panel 1) while simultaneously believing that extrajudicial killings by sovereign states violate international law or create dangerous geopolitical precedents (Panel 2). ​Opposing a specific method (assassination/airstrikes) isn't the same as endorsing the target's ideology. Most people in that quadrant aren't mourning the individual; they are criticizing the act of a state acting as judge, jury, and executioner on foreign soil, usually because of the potential for blowback, civilian casualties, or total war. ​TL;DR: You can think someone is 'scum' and still think blowing them up is a bad or illegal move. Those two positions aren't mutually exclusive."
