At what point do our moral obligations directly conflict with the Rule of Law?
When does the need for doing The Right Thing™️ override the need for doing it The Right Way™️?
Before you answer just know that I know that I don’t know that I’ll ever know the full and complete answer to that question
In the grand scheme of ethics… Probably immediately. There’s nothing about the police or the legal system that entitles them to moral superiority. They’re just richer and have more time on their hands. Keep in mind the legal system is the same legal system that gave us citizens united, two calamitous wars in West Asia, and golden parachutes for rich criminals. They’re just a system of exploitation that makes sure their favored corporations get to exploit everything and everyone while we’re all too poor and hungry to fight back because they’ve made it sink or swim for us
That’s conservative ideology. Liberal only means not conservative. Stop trying to pretend that liberal means centrist. There’s already a word for that. It’s centrist.
Liberal is the opposite of authoritarian. Progressive is the opposite of conservative. American 1 dimensional politics does not define all of political conversation.
Imagine not wanting to kill neo-nazis but be fine with Isreali war crimes, involving the genocide of many innocent lives
I’ve been called a neo nazi before. Are you advocating for killing me?
What’s the threshold where you’re sure enough that someone’s a nazi that it’s now ethical to kill them?
Who gives a shit what people call you.
If you’re walking like a Nazi and talking like a Nazi. Hell yes I would.
My grandad would come back from the dead to punch you to death probably before I had a chance.
Can you define “walking like” and “talking like”?
Are you willing to articulate the set of rules you are advocating for selecting people to be killed?
Killing another human is not ethical. Domination can make killing another human necessary. Your death could be necessary if you are dominating other humans.
What are your thoughts on John Brown?
Sorry man. (a) I don’t know who John Brown is, (b) I’m not participating in an interrogation whose purpose is to determine whether I’ll be included in your mass killing.
