At what point are we subjecting our own flesh to the insanity of bit banging from conception until death?
Is this enslavement?
Do we care?
Lack of modern coherence demands a group search for Objective Morality. A line we will not let crossed: the sacrificing of those “innocent” for “power”. Anyone (now a person? Or do we call those “subjectives?”) who cannot say “no”, cannot “walk away or stand their ground”, and does not have an exclusive right to their own persons (embodiment) are having their “human” rights violated.
Or something like that.
There are those in this world who will actually literally (not jackass joke about fair trade injustice) sacrifice an “innocent” for power (their own or any other), there are those who will do no such thing, and there are those who would murder a man before letting such things stand.
I advocate a righteous rule of law. I advocate moral and lawful violence as a resolution to the lawless violation of those not culpable for anything so fuck all.
I don’t care what others get away with.
Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius.
Millions throughout history have spoken as you do now. Both Kirk and his alledged assassin. Militant vegans (some more metaphorical than others) to abortion clinic bombers. Crusades and conquistadors and those attacked by each.
I said truth and law, not by someone’s god.
In fact, I like to make it clear thoughts feelings and beliefs are never worth violating the sanctity of others.
Truth and law however are the right to resolve violation, and violation is an instrument of resolution (of those who enable and perpetuate, to put to an end at every expense of those culpable.)
Let me just outline what I call “a righteous rule of law” in so few worlds:
One principled upon Truth, for if it is not true it has no place in law.
One which protects the innocent (those not culpable) from violation by will or neglect.
One entitled by domain, one competent and uncorrupted before law.
And really that’s it, though we must spend volumes of text uncompressing this before being understood in a useful common frame of reference.
Lack of coherence has never been relevant to that.

I have bad news, you may wish to sit down and have some smelling salts to hand before reading world history.
Did you think it got out of hand? I thought it ended on a nice note.
It did indeed end on a nice note, but I think "got out of hand" is looking at the wrong end of the thread.
I didn't flag that comment, I seldom flag any, but I would guess the problem was likely the start of that other thread, because your opening there was more than a little abrasive.
