claim by larken, or presented by him: Ted Bundy; Responsible to 1 10 000th of the civilian deaths caused by the avarage US President.
Now why is that false? because the President does NOT do the actual killing, its the order followers that does it, as thus is the true issue here. Being something Mark Passio strongly points out.
The false belief, that there is sutch a thing s authority, comes secondary or in parrallel to that. Unless you choose to view both as being the same. (something it is to a sertain degree)
Qute from the article: "In fact, it would happen to you too, if you were given power over others, and were convinced that you had the absolute moral right to exercise that power"
Just as a point here, now what position deos this then put you @larkenrose in as someone manny people listen to and regard as a form of authority? Because you say alot toa makes snes and is relevant, thus manny wil, based on that, and the fact that you do ahve a "following", deem most of not all of what you say as valid, even if some is not.
Something to keep in mind. (Im curious to see if Larken whould respond to this comment with that point fully in mind)
1 - The fact that order-followers are 100% responsible for their own actions does NOT mean that those who give those orders are blameless.
2 - Being a supposed "authority" on some subject is a completely distinct concept from the RIGHT TO RULE, which is the kind of "authority" I constantly bash. I don't claim any right to rule anyone, or any power over anyone.
1: based on an asumption. 2: point was clearly not in mind.
So an expected response tbh.
I dont disagree with your main points in your articles and videos, nor do I claim that there inst any degree of blame on the part of the order giver. Infact I use some of it as inspiration to write some of my Norwegan articles.
The killing comes from the belief, it does not come 'secondary or in parrallel to that'. Both (belief/killing) are not the same. Without the belief it would not happen. I agree regarding the culpability, but it is the belief that is the key element.
