A universifiable moral value you could read up on is the nonaggression principle, with further reading into argumentation ethics. This would be as close to the euclidean geometry of ethics as humanity has come; a way of arguing against the nonaggression principle while staying morally consistent yourself has yet to be found, and evidence against that possibility is discussed in arguementation ethics. By virtue of the fact that you typed a response rather than searched for some way to commit violence against me demonstrates that you perfer peaceful solutions to violent ones.

It doesn't, the peaceful solution was significantly easier to enact than the violent one given this specific situation. If that's how this line of discussion tends to go then it strikes me as people finding ways to justify their beliefs versus a sound rational argument.
- Geisterde 3y agoA sound rational person such as yourself probably understands that the tone they bring to a conversation matters, as well as the actual content of your speech, lacking as it may be. Its ok, ill help you formulate a rational arguement, its useful to start with standard paragraph form. -thesis-Its morally permissible for me to initiate violence against a peaceful people. -supporting evidence-These people over here are different. -commentary-Those people are less deserving of human rights and moral dignity than I. -conclusion-Since some people have less value than others, its ok to subject them to violence if it confers sime benefit to people of higher value like me.
