RE: Remembering Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Tokyo: Statism Manifested as Murder Apologism (why some individuals still view mass murder as morally legitimate)

in #war7 years ago

I wouldnt say that the people who dropped the bomb are directly responsible because they were just puppets following an order. The ones who gave the order are directly responsible and the ones who actually dropped the bombs share a parte of that responsability.

Sort:  

They could have refused to follow the order. They are morally culpable. Those giving the order share the blame, perhaps, but direct responsibility is clearly on the actual murderer.

Well like in the case of ISIS, the ones commiting the attacks are obviously gulty of the murder, but the leaders who brainwashes them to believe that what they do is in the name of good are the real dangerous evilminds. In the case of WWII the pilots were brainwashed into believing that what they do is in the name of good.... ''ending the war''.

Yes, I agree they were brainwashed. 100%. That is why I think the battle that is truly to be won is a philosophical one, waking people up to the nature of the cult of nationalism/statism, which is truly evil, and indeed, sub-human.

The thing that amazes me at this comunity is the fact that you have someone that you can have meaningfull, intelligent conversations. I really appreciate the talk and i will follow you.

The feeling is mutual. Followed back. :)
