The sublime morality of genocide and enslavement.
I’d to discuss the sublime morality of genocide and enslavement.
Let’s take this hypothetical situation:
Two groups of people war for some reason. One group accuses the other of ‘treachery’ and no doubt this will be the excuse trotted out by its supporters. However, this charge is disputable and can be seen to be spurious. But be that as it may, let us assume for argument’s sake that this charge is proven.
Now, one group is defeated and is completely at the mercy of the other. An arbitration is set up where the final word is given to a sworn enemy of the defeated people. How this came about can be seen to be disreputable, but be that as it may, let us assume that the arbitration took place.
The sworn enemy pronounces death to all the adult males so the leader of the winning side gives his permission for all adult males and all boys with pubic hair to be beheaded.
Not only that but all the women and children of the defeated side were sold into slavery.
Thus, the entire defeated people were either killed or enslaved and they vanished from history.
Now, is this behavior perfect? Is the morality sublime?
