Fuck you.

L is subjective justice, Kira is objective evil

Light.

Government isn't inherently legitimate. To do so is to make a religious argument for the divine right of governments to rule.

By virtue of being chosen by supernatural entities to carry their will you could argue that Light was already more legitimate than the more mundane state from the get go.

L was protecting established privileges and the status quo. What's even more ironic is that he opposed Light handing out extra judicial sentences, but he was willing to execute him without trial if captured.

Some guy who kills and torture children deserves death. Doesn't matter if the state said he should only get 10 years. If youre protecting that guy from getting lynched, youre essentially a child molester accomplice and deserve death as well.

>By virtue of being chosen by supernatural entities to carry their will
This is where you are wrong, though. Light wasn't chosen, it was mere happenstance.

Thats part of the Death God's will. It has to be a random guy. So him finding that notebook by chance still means he gets to do what the death gods want.

neither, the musical killer soundtrack is justice

Light got shit done.
L is a cuck for government.

This

Dangerously based.
I mostly agree, but you have to consider Light was also sentencing people to death without following due process (something that exists regardless of government), and executing petty "criminals".
I prefer a world with a Light than a world without one, but he was not 100% right.

Based, the musical is actually really good.

You're conflating quite a few things here but the most illogical idea is that some egotistical kid who stumbled upon a magical instrument o death has now a better shot of dispensing "justice" than a complex judicial system which is presumably held accountable at some point.
>Some guy who kills and torture children deserves death.
I'd say they deserve more, but this is usually taken care in the form of vigilante justice anyway.

L was. While the idea of every murderer and rapist being purged from society is appealing, the concept that a single unchecked individual would hold all this power is incredibly dangerous. Light fancies himself as a god-like dispenser of divine justice, but really he's just a man like anyone else.

He's already demonstrated that he's willing to kill innocents if he views them as a threat to his power. In that sense, he's no different from any other dictator. Nobody is infallible or immune from the corrupting influence of ultimate power. While it is certainly less efficient, a proper system of due process is superior to Light's "justice". It is better to acquit ten guilty than to punish one innocent.

That's why the world is so peaceful right now right?

>correct answer in the first reply
Well done.

Light is being held accountable more than any courts. By a literal God of Death.

How does Ryuk hold Light accountable for anything?

What's why?
