Is there anyone you'd press the button on?

You can press a button and a person of your choice dies. Not painfully. You don't have to do anything and nor does anyone else.They just drop dead.

Is there anyone you'd press it on? I guess my question is, is there anyone you'd murder if you (nor anyone acting on your behalf) would have to actually do anything.

There are people who come to mind but I think I'd say no. Knowing that a few people would likely say yes about me and the fact I think they'd be wrong to as I don't think I deserve it would make me hesitate. I can't truly know someone like I know myself and so I can't trust myself to completely understand them and make that decision. I couldn't be responsible for that.

No

Mine would all be warmongering, destabilising world leaders who are happy to eradicate thousands of lives and upend the world for their own gain. The trouble is, though, you never know who would fill the vacuum that would create.

Yes. The person who wrote the alphabet song*, whilst I'm grateful DD has finally mastered it, hearing her sing it on repeat during a long car journey....

*lighthearted, obviously.

Tbh, I'm not sure I would - I've not suffered at the hands of others in my life so no one there, and whilst I'd be tempted to use it on a dictator I'd worry about creating a power vacuum and whether who came next would be worse, so would probably chicken out.

Trump, Putin etc.
Even though I have been badly treated by others, no, I wouldn’t wish them dead, but maybe something to trigger their guilt.

I wouldn’t kill anyone but I would push a button to make them feel fear the and crushing hopelessness they had inflicted on me.

I would prefer to do this than kill them

All cyclists that use the roads. If I can't do all of them, then I'd do the next one that crosses my path.
Also dog owners that walk unleashed dogs.

This. But the reason he treated me and his other victims the way he did was because of his weakness and insecurities. Apart from being able to be myself again, that's about all the closure I can hope to get.

I will fully relax when he's dead though.
