Can kidnapping ever be good?
So in other words lets say, Kidnapping (A) is wrong. then Kidnapping cannot equal virtue (B).
With language, we can change what is wrong and what is right? Which George Orwell called, “Double Think, ” or in other words, hypocrisy. If the Government, kidnaps someone, but calls it instead of kidnapping, but “Jailed” or “Arrested” Then it is alright. In order for us to accept such madness, the wheels of our minds must first be broken by indoctrination.
Ethics, virtue, morality — these were not invented and inflicted from any desire to spread goodness, but rather to disarm and enslave others. To disarm and enslave you.
The sequence is always the same — invent a universal standard of good behavior, and then create an invisible exception for yourself and your friends, by calling it something else.
When ever you think about what law there is that doesn’t allow you to do something, think of who is allowed to do the exact opposite.
“THOU SHALT NOT STEAL!” — Ok, all right, theft is wrong! Thus those in power have to call their theft “taxation.”
“THOU SHALT NOT KILL!” — Ok, all right, murder is wrong! Thus those in power have to call their murders “wars.”
“NO KIDNAPPING!” — Ok, all right, kidnapping is wrong! Thus those in power have to call their kidnappings “incarceration.”
“VIOLENCE IS WRONG!” — Ok, all right, using violence to get what you want is wrong! Thus those in power have to call their violence “spanking” or “laws.”
Do you see the pattern? Create a universal moral rule, and then create an exception for yourself, and your friends.
It’s very easy to test this theory. Walk-up to an average citizen and ask him if using violence to solve problems is good. He will say, “no.” Point out that the State initiates force all the time in the pretense of solving problems. He will immediately start to defend the State.
It is inevitable. People defend moral rules, and then defend the most blatant violations of these same moral rules.
This how we are controlled. This is how we are propagandized. This is how freedom dies.
If someone gives you a moral rule, the first thing to do is to examine not the rule, but the exception. Who is not bound by that rule? Who gets to do the exact opposite? It will always be those in power — that is why moral rules exist.
Any thinker who actually tries to apply universal moral rules universally is considered insane, bizarre, ridiculous — because the purpose of universal morality is the exception, the violation.
Governments disarm citizens by denying them weapons, while retaining monstrous weapons in the hands of the state.
It is the same with “morality.”
Open your mind. Open your eyes.
makes sense i guess.
