The only way in which a man can partake on evil is to have ill will; accusing people of being evil is in itself an act of evil, for a man is to seek an eradication of evil (which is a deficit of goodness rather than a presence of some opposite of goodness) without willful judgement, and therefore it is a sin. - Thomas Aquinas ethics A person isn't tacitly responsible for the acts of his government, because his legal responsibilities and moral responsibilities exist separately and in most circumstances do not infringe upon each other.

I'm pretty sure it makes you either accept that war and killing of innocent people is an unavoidable part of human existence, or that you are a coward who refuses to give up his way of life (read:vanity) to protect said innocents.

Wilfully joining an unjust war isn't the same as living secluded from an unjust war declared by somebody else, or even being recruited to an unjust war. The just war theory is usually only cited in debates over collateral damage these days, but it actually contributes heavily to the notion of individual guilt-

Keldoclock posted:You're American, right? Afganistan's orphans, paid for by your taxes. You might try to argue that to be complicit in suffering is not the same as participating it, but that's a weak argument; horatio could just as easily say he never shot anyone, just took photos and passed them on. Maaaaaaan, what is even ... like ...suffering? Maaaaan, deep stuff. There is a 5000 year old Confucian riddle about this very philosophical problem. Imagine a man is shot by another man. Who is really to blame here, is it the man who shot the other man or maybe is it the man who made his pants? Or did they both contributed equally to the situation by shooting and making pants? No one has been able to solve this old riddle in 5000 years.

KirbyKhan posted:Real talk: what's the solution? 100% curious Well, the first philosopher anybody studies is Plato. Plato posits that goodness is virtue; and virtue is acting in accordance with the idea of the object of one's action (i.e. good action is whatever helps anybody to be more efficient and effective in their duties - goodness is therefore a measure of participation on one's being, which is in turn a measure of one's actualization vis a vis an essential quality, as opposed to potentiality). So providing pants for a man is a virtuous act, for it improves the goodness participated by the object by increasing his comfort without decreasing his ability to be productive. The problem becomes more elaborate in latter philosophers, but this should be enough to describe the basic problem and its resolution.

While that particular problem is not present in there, it's basically conforming to the fundamental philosophical questions.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SiylvmFI_8 A hurr durr, a blurr blurr, ima gonna make a difference posting online~nya! Just wanted to chime in to claim the high ground, tell the OP he's a sack of poo poo, and go back to posting in pet island and jacking off to my fefos. Im morally superior with a triple minor in english, philosophy and politics, so naturally its my duty to 'troll' this fantastically rare creature, an Interesting Goon, because no enlightened man should be able to hear what he has to say about his part in yet another hellish eastern european mud war. OP, I have some serious questions: Are there provisions for home visits and as a volunteer force what is the resignation process like? Do you get paid well enough, have enough opportunities for advancement, etc, to consider this a career? If offered a commission in a National army to do the exact same thing, would you take it? Do you have the skills/connections to get a drone-related job as a civilian after the war? Is there a market for commercial drone use? (surveying, agriculture, search and rescue etc) Whats the Russian drone scene like, any proposals for mass drone use like what Amazon is trying to do in the US, are there a large number of drone hobbyists, what are your restrictions on airspace use, etc? Thank you.

The reason I think it's fake is because that sound effect is virtually identical to an old sound effect used in many video games and amateur films for a machine gun (and sound way, way different from how automatic weapons sound in any of his other videos) and he's got a badly implemented CG muzzle flash that seems to have been taken from Action Essentials.
