If WWIII started tomorrow, would you shoot yourself in the head immediately to ensure that you have a painless death?

If WWIII started tomorrow, would you shoot yourself in the head immediately to ensure that you have a painless death?

I would, desu

What's this called from a philosophical standpoint? Utilitarianism? Hedonism? Realism?

It's called doing the world a favorism and only applies to faggots who kill themselves.

>What's this called from a philosophical standpoint?


Idiocy.

You wouldn't know is WWIII till is too late.

Being retarded and over reactionary

I want to fuck that gorilla

I'd burn my draft card and score chicks for sticking it to their authoritative daddy substitutes.

coward

Fatalism.

If you don't shoot yourself, there's an above 0% chance you'll live through the war.

If you shoot yourself, there's exactly a 0% chance you'll survive the war.

You're an idiot

>being so dumb you can't even answer what's being asked

>being so fucking dumb you can't see that the OP asked two questions

Extreme pessimism.

I didn't intend to answer OPs question. I was asserting why he's an idiot.

>he's not even getting what's being asked THIS hard

>would you kill yourself if WW3 started?
>what philosophy reinforces my view that killing myself to avoid pain is good?

friendo you're a chucklefuck, your post was "if you kill yourself you will die, if you don't kill yourself you might not die" which is just an assertion of basic cause and effect and sidesteps OP's question entirely


hurrrrrrrr water will make you wet what deep insight

I don't have to answer any question, especially when the question is retarded.

>your post was "if you kill yourself you will die, if you don't kill yourself you might not die" which is just an assertion of basic cause and effect
Yes, Exactly

>and sidesteps OP's question entirely
It highlights why OP's inquiry is dumb. It's pointing out that certain death is somehow a favourable outcome to the possibility of life to OP, which is a ridiculous thought.

>hurrrrrrrr water will make you wet what deep insight
It is when someone asks: "should I take a towel with me on the beach?"

>If you had a 1 in 5 chance of dying an excruciating death from a certain apple, WOULD (not should) you opt to choose a painless method of dying to ensure you don't suffer instead? If you did, what is this called?
>You: if you eat apples you will not starve. You SHOULD eat the apple because people who don't eat the apple have a 100% chance of death.

you're shit at basic reading comprehension

>1 in 5 chance
Those odds are pretty good m8, especially when the alternative is certain death. And yes, I would eat the apple because not doing so would be stupid.

Would you take a 0/5 chance at survival or a 4/5 chance at survival?

>oh no i ate the pain apple
>ok NOW im gonna shoot myself

Makes much more sense than

>oh look apples
>better kill myself before trying

Why do people think WWIII will happen? The only legitimate time that WWIII could have happen was 1985-1991, when the Soviets decided to pull out and told US to stop funding the Mujahideen. State Department and the CIA not buying it, decide to fund them even more with 650 million green bills and the Saudi's matching that created a powerhouse for Hekmatyar and Massoud. After the death of William Casey, undisclosed fighters went into the Soviet Union killing civilians. Soviets had legit reason to start a full war or "major conflict." US broke international law when that happen. Soviet could have had the backing of surrounding nations and Southern American nations. Doubtful that China would be involved, as they too, help supply the Mujahideen with Chinese made kalashnikov.

I have a family to think about. While I would probably shoot them while they slept, to protect them, I would probably pussy out killing myself and do the The Mist style "oh well" and join the army.

Nukes were a mistake.

The Soviets already had no casus belli to intervene in Afghanistan. How could they be surprised when Afghans attacked the Soviets on their own soil?

It would be like if the US attacked Mexico and Russia funded Mexican drug cartels to go around killing Americans in Texas.

>tfw one of the few 20 somethings who would actually join the military
Cucked by the state

Why do people think WWII will happen? The only legitimate time that WWII could have happen was 1929-1938, when the Soviets decided to pull out and told Germany to stop funding the Freikorps. Reichstag was not buying it. decided to fund them even more with 650 quintillion reichsmarks and the Pole's matching that created a powerhouse for Hitler. After the death of Trotsky, undisclosed freikorps and polish volunteers went into the Soviet Union killing civilians. Soviets had legit reason to start a full war or "major conflict'. Germany broke international law when that happen. Soviet could have had the backing of surrounding revolutionaries and French socialists. Doubtful that England would be involved, as they too, help supply the Poles with English made Lee-Enfields.

Perhaps, but many people who lived through the world wars knew that something hugely important was happening almost from the get go.
