Praise your "heroes". Itβs enlightening to watch a civilization confuse slaughter with honor.
If we're assigning blame so broadly, let's be thorough about it. What about the factory workers assembling weapons? They recognize a gun when they help manufacture it. They understand what tank treads are used for when they connect them. Engineers fully comprehend the lethal applications of their drone designs and technical specifications.
If we're truly committed to distributing responsibility appropriately, shouldn't everyone in these production chains bear their share of moral accountability? Or is our outrage selectively applied to those with the least decision-making power in these systems?
Perhaps we should question why our society finds it easier to condemn those with fewer choices rather than examining the entire structure that creates these weapons of war in the first place.
