This is a concept that is treated as universal, and its really not. Its treated as unavoidable even in situations where it could occur, and it's really not.
And in fact, killing all the hyper-authoritarians (or at least all of that kind of authoritarian-the irredeemable monster kind) and dismantling everything they built is the best way to stop that.
I find this phrase is almost without exception deployed to justify keeping momentum on horrible shit. It's a massive red flag, almost a logical fallacy in itself.
Nope, gotta destroy their institutions and hunt down survivors, dispossess their heirs completely, at minimum, but i think if they're old enough to talk they're old enough to hang in this case. The harm of letting them live is too great.
Yeah thats optimal, but humans do actually have pretty good instincts for that. Like, shockingly good. Enough to bridge major gaps.
It's usually tjose fuckers or their heirs doing the grumbling. Kill them; it wont be an issue.
I can't help but notice you're broadly suggesting we should avoid the result we've gotten every time by nit behaving too differently than we have every time in the past. I think we should try something different.
To be clear: i don't think you shoukd exterminate every enemy. Just the kind that are monsters.
In theory yes, the problem is you can't identify them all ahead of time
Also, your false positive rate will make you a monster too
And focusing on family lines instead of malicious ambition will mean you'll kill a lot of people who opposed their own evil family members as collateral damage, people who might even be the best allies you could have to spot others with malicious intent because they've seen it up close
