I think he's lost ALL claim to that when he chose to attack that festival full of civilians just to make his point. You do that on a military base, not in that crowd as his enemies planned for him to do. He consciously took the bait, even Mikasa is not willing to overlook the gravity of what he did.

The Corps deliberately avoided civilian casualties, focusing on military targets. Eren instead took his rage out on both, handing the Marley some easy propaganda regardless of the enormity of their loss. Eren is the exception here, not the one who holds the high ground.

Oh and eight soldiers are dead because of his recklessness. Without the consent of his superiors or without adequate precautions taken to avoid this.

Eren is hellbound no matter what defense you mount. And now God apparently is a real concept in this universe too, so I'm presuming there's a Hell to go to after all if this world is messed up enough to have spawned the Nine Titans. I agree with you on the civilian casualties as I think specifically targetting civilians is never cool (I'll give Armin a pass as that would be an impossible choice for anyone) even if you're intial reason for attacking was justified (which for Paradis it is) but everyone seems to be forgetting that while most of our core members showed excellent conduct in a tough situation (Sasha and Jean especially) that other members (newer individuals especially) of the Survey Corps specifically attacked civilian buildings (Floch!) with bombs in this battle as that was clearly shown in 102. Hmmm, i'm thinking that killing civilians in war can only be justified if they deliberately get in the way (just like how killing threats is factually justified by the end goal, no matter who the threat might be). Actions are NEVER the only things that decide their own morality.
