Mike:
Yet, I agree with Solzhenitsyn's final words. I think sometimes, Joe, you put far to much emphasis on an abject belief in falsehood, as you call it, due to scientifically perfected mass hypnosis when, in truth, it is simply humans being humans
Joe:
To say that we are "simply being human" targets is an olive branch intending to bridge the gap in perspectives?
My comment intends to accurately discriminate the difference between humans in general and humans who resort to crime as a means of survival.
That is my viewpoint in stark contrast you what I think your viewpoint is as if you think that all human beings resort to crime as a means of survival, not just the criminals.
Like this:
Mike:
A few very bad people with names, actual human beings having actual names, and breathing air, wearing pants, eating food, and working at places like Wall Street, invent, produced, and maintain human targets who are tortured, and murdered for the fun, and for the profit, of those few people at the expense of all those targets, and that is accountable to the human species as a whole.
Joe:
I invent the above perspective and I attach that above perspective to Mike, because I think Mike thinks that the human species is held accountable for the actions of a few upon the many. I don't do that, so my olive branch is to say that the targets, being targets, are far better than the criminals being criminals, if life means anything good.
Targets aught to find ways to stop being targets since criminals will continue being criminals if they are allowed to be criminals.
Perhaps there is a way to identify the precise place where our perspectives meet at the fence.
