Too many people use the logic, "If someone commits an atrocity against you, you've earned the right to an atrocity against them." But you can't earn the right to atrocities. It's not a thing you can deserve to do.

You can't earn the right to massacre civilians. You can't earn the right to bomb apartment buildings full of families with kids. You can't deserve to rape and kidnap people or to drop white phosphorus bombs on cities.

I mean whether it’s innate or just learned, a lot of people like the idea of 「 an eye for an eye 」 and think it’s fair despite it obviously being the opposite and a ticket to endless animosity and hostilities

Yeah, per the learning in SMACX, if you level a colony with a Planet Buster you immediately become a political pariah and everyone disavows you.
