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

There must a a line drawn tho, we should not put the american goverment and the american people in the same pot. The general population like all people are decent human beings while the american goverment , in my opinion, is the biggest terrorist organisation in the history of humankind.

Sort:  

Well, not all Germans were Nazis, but still the German people in the majority did nothing to stop them
or even enabled them to commit their terrible atrocities. Same held true for the Japanese people.
Both people paid a terrible price for their failure to resist a terrible government.
Now the American people, they also do nothing against their governments bombing
and invading other countries almost constantly since the end of world war 2.
They are also some kind of codependant enablers.
Will there also be a terrible price to pay?

How are normal, everyday individuals supposed to stop a massive army? You are saying they are part responsible for being bombed?

I do not think that all individuals residing on the geographical landmass know as the "United States" are guilty. The men who actually dropped the bombs and killed people are directly responsible.

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.

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. :)
