“Kill one man and you are a murderer. Kill a thousand and you are a general-hero. Kill a million and you are the undisputed leader of a soverign nation. Kill everyone and you are God. Moral relativity”
Yeah, that could come across as wrong. I remember once reading that Karl Marx invented the theory that good and evil are constructs designed to keep the wealthy and powerful in power and keep the weak subjugated and the idea really struck me. I even chose the email address marxs_social_theory@hotmail.com as an homage to the fact that I held his theory on social relationships in such high regard.
But I probably just come across as a psychopath. I’ll probably have to take it down before anyone reads it.
Good plan. There might be a really wide-reaching policy like “Don’t post things which are offensive” where “offensive” probably means whatever the network administrators say it does. But it’s an interesting quote. Have you heard, “One death is a tragedy. A million deaths is a statistic.”?
Somehow it has become subversive to believe that killing lots of people is wrong. My niece was wearing a “peace” T-shirt, and when her grandfather saw her, he held up his hands and said “Don’t kill me.”
War is peace. I think 1984 is finally here.
You have a right to state your opinions. I hope you will not be cowed by those who attempt to make us ashamed of valuing life.
