Going by his discussion with Destiny, he believes it's wrong to kill multiple people as an individual, even in self defense, because that's obviously represents a greater loss of life than if you just let the mob kill you.
The thing about it is that it is in fact logical. If this is how x situation is going to play out and x individual can simply not defend himself and die, that does in fact result in only one death instead of an indeterminate amount of deaths.
The problem is obviously that it's amoral. His perception of it illuminates the fact that he simply doesn't believe in the sovereignty of the individual. Individual sovereignty is the determining moral factor in what side you fall on in this issue (provided you're not grossly misinformed by legacy media). Individual sovereignty means you have the right to defend yourself from any given threat or threats. Once you remove that principle, his view makes perfect sense.
It also made it clear that Destiny, who clearly does believe in the sovereignty of the individual, isn't too far gone and maybe redeemable. That's really one of the most important core moral principles for someone to have, imo, so there's something there to work with in regards to Destiny. I should watch that stream he did with Sargon. I meant to but never got around to it, maybe he's come around more than I'm aware of.
You're not wrong.
Such a worldview also would appear to excuse any act by a large mob simply as a matter of framing: "Not ransacking your house and looting your possessions damages all of us!"
Literally what communism is lol.
