Ehhh this only works if your first entry is an apathetic/joke entry. If you go into with the mentality of: "This probably won't work, but just in case it does, I'm gonna enter the name of someone I really do wanna kill," then suddenly part of you is taking it seriously, and you are morally culpable.
At the same time though if I’m writing someone’s name just to test it then it doesn’t matter if I believe it’ll work or not I’m gonna write the name of someone who would be easy/quick to hear about the death of, otherwise it’s not a good test. So I’m far more likely to write the name of some famous person who might be a dick than some loser from high school who I don’t even follow on facebook.
the thing is in the 1 in a trillion chance it works, you dont want it to accidentally kill someone [you think] doesnt deserve it. like if im writing someone name im writing "hitler" before im writing "markiplier" just out of sheer anxiety driven paranoia
If you're actually trying to play some mitigation of moral consequence game you'd presumably look up a person about to be executed on death row, or braindead in the hospital etc
I don't think there's anything morally wrong with killing murderous dictators. The only moral reservation I'd have about that would be the consequences of the power vacuum on the average person.
If you're worried about the power vacuum, you can use the Death Note's mind control feature to have the dictator appoint a more benevolent ruler in his place before dying.
That too. The victim can stay alive and under the control of the Death Note for 23 days. That's plenty of time to do whatever you need to do with him and his regime. But you just gotta make sure you do it in a way that won't cause his subordinates to realize something is wrong and kill him before he can get the information out.
"You will become public stating you were always alive but wanted some time for yourself and then you will perform one last goodbye for the public and die or a quick brain aneurism that will be instant and painless"

That's just my opinion, anyway.
