Any other method of hollows dying from consumption and shinigami purification is resulting in the complete destruction of souls. Regular hollows are driven by hunger to consume in order to evolve, same with Gillians, those above can think without the all consuming hunger driving them, so for the most part they kill each other. Starrk's mere existence was killing any hollow below Vasto Lorde by sheer proximity hence eradicating their congregate souls, Barragan was acting tyrant in HM killing others on a whim. We're dealing with a net loss of souls. Im pretty sure destroying souls is considered a sin that is a one way ticket to hell when they die, not matter how unintentional the act is

If you insist on keeping bringing up cancer, great it was bad analogy, want to keep attacking it like Donald Trump? We're not pointing fingers at who is more morally correct but how to solve the greatest crisis in Bleach
You're getting piqued again. It's not doing wonders for your coherence. Or your analogies, since I'm not sure a literal fascist is necessarily the strongest analogy for someone pointing out that you said something stupid. I'm also not going to let you forget that analogy, either, just so you're not surprised when I bring it up again.

(Although it's interesting that you should mention a fascist, since on an in-universe level, you're proposing genocide. Since that's what we call attempting to wipe out a large group of people who share a common trait. I want to be entirely clear that that's not meant to be a moral judgement on you, since it's fiction and this isn't a real group of people, but it would be an in-universe moral concern.)

The thing is, you're now rather abruptly hinging your argument on 'well, some Hollows kill each other! And it's permanent! So they all have to be purified, even though that would result in some sapient people dying!' but that's a separate issue. Some people kill each other, and that's permanent, but we don't respond by wiping out humankind, we respond by imprisoning murderers. With the exception of societies that have poor human rights records in general, we don't even kill convicted murderers themselves.

(Arguably, Soul Society is a society with a terrible human rights record already, but presumably under Kyoraku they're at least trying to be better.)

Also, you still haven't addressed the whole thing where zanpakuto are also made up of a multitude of souls - which we know can also end up killed permanently, since a zanpakuto destroyed in bankai can't regenerate. Captains are constantly putting hundreds or thousands of souls at risk.

Also, your basic grammar is slipping the more and more needlessly emotional you get about this. That's not a point against any of your arguments, it just makes them kind of difficult to parse.
