I do love revisiting old posts of mine, and I don’t think my views here has changed in 12 years.

This is really a no brainer.

Like Der Trihs , I’d even go as far as to say that I think a slave has every right to kill anything that stands in their way to gaining freedom. It isn’t even a matter of dead person’s level of sainthood or whatever… If they, legitimately, pose a threat to a slave’s escape from slavery then they’re ‘fair game;’ be them man, woman or child.

Sick situation, but that’s not the slave’s fault.

And in regards to someone who willingly turns in people to enslavement.

So, if I live in a society with slavery, and I know that a particular slave has adopted your view, I would be morally justified (using your words–I don’t know what those words mean) if I killed that slave, right?

No. You would morally justified in helping him/her escape. If you feared white-lead reprisals from doing that, then just simply get/stay out of the slave’s way.

You try to stop/kill them? Then you are no longer even ‘an innocent bystander’ in my book; you even become a justifiable target (‘fair game’) for any anti-slaver wishing to make an example/statement.

Really. Enslavement is no game. Its the matter of life or death, (or if you are deemed uppity) a long torturously painful death. And this is just looking at the individual, your family and friends are up for the exact same treatment for all their worldly time on this earth.
