i dont understand why people want to maintain moralistic concepts when it’s clearly so cumbersome. just say that this is violence and that you’re okay with it. you don’t even have to jump to “justifying” it, since that already assumes violence is inherently or even primarily evil by default.
it does have some big misses tho - like the quote does not support this argument and it’s very weak ground. there are a few places like this where they try to lean on the differences between humans and animals that i think fall completely flat.
i genuinely have no idea what answer they're expecting here because its the 08 civics test so technically George Bush was president at the time bc Obama wasn't sworn in until Jan 09, but he was elected ig. And Biden being an option doesn't even indicate that the test was updated bc he was VP lol
