Well now we have a natural cap on the amount of power and influence a horrible person can have - if we remove death from the equation there is no cap anymore.

So yea I’m willing to “kill” everyone to prevent the perpetual torment nexus becoming a reality.

Death does not have a natural cap on power, you do realize corruption runs in systems? See the power transfer happening in North Korea.

I wonder how your children would feel if you told them you'd rather kill them than think of other ways in which to solve the problem of a dictator that does not affect their lives in any way.

To the extent that it is even a "problem", frankly absurd to kill everyone because you're worried about out a few edge cases, and I think you realize it - you're just hanging on. We both know you wouldn't make this decision on your own deathbed.
