By that logic, any nation's government is also highly centralized and even more powerful. Are politicians complicit with human trafficking because it exists within their nation's borders?
- milesskorpen 5y agoMost politicians have less power over their country than Zuckerberg has over Facebook. Degree of complicity adjusts a bit with knowledge & actual power to address. But yes. People who have the power to fix something unjust and don't are complicit in that thing.
- aendruk 5y agoThe logic says yes, they are complicit to the extent that the government is powerful enough to intervene (granting this level of power is typically at odds with other values we hold) and to the extent that specifically politicians bear responsibility for the behavior of the government (as opposed to the people or organizations that empowered them).
