Sorry, lots of questions - I’m super curious though 😅
😂 noo you know what I mean. I mean where are *you* coming from when you say it? To what level would you go to achieve it? What level of force are we talking about using? Is there anything short of 6.2Q (let’s say 1% short) that would be satisfactory? For example a purely zero sum / justice based approach could argue that using equal force to the original evils until payment is made in full is justifiable. More likely people believe that as long as 51% of US citizens agree on making that next partial payment, then it’s ok to use credible threat of substantial violence to force the other 49 to pay too.
Looking at the statement from a different angle, it seems that another possible way is to never do anything redress the wrong. So what does it mean to not acknowledge that as a *possible* outcome rather than just a bad outcome?
Another question I have is since “way” is a means to an end, what is the end that reparations are the only way to achieve?
