This is a part two of a similar question asked here: https://slrpnk.net/post/24228904
Basically I am workshopping progressive sligans. I am a basic agitator and interact with a lot of people who lean progressive but aren’t politically engaged yet. Crowd-sourcing the revolution, I guess.
It’s a grey area that requires many diverse opinions and backgrounds to discuss
Applied from a benevolent point of view it should always be a last resort if you’ve exhausted all your options to provide the needs of all
Star trek for example has shown it in its benevolent form where you see Spock saving the many over his own needs ultimately sacrificing himself
But it can lead into dangerous territory such as eugenics or discrimination when used in a malevolent or even unintentionally in a benevolent way like eugenics or discrimination for example
So the argument is well meaning but it can also lead to dangerous territory, its a double edged sword
The needs of the all should always be prioritised above all else
I like the “needs of all” messaging, it combats polarization. Ultimately we are all human and should have basic rights: food, housing, healthcare, expression
