Hacker News take of the day:
Rounding up somebody and detaining them is not violence.
Would you like to expand on how you came to this conclusion? It's at odds with most interpretations of labour camps and internment camps and "re-education centres"
- baggy_trough 2y agoIt might be an unjust detention, but it's not violence. There's no physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill. The force, if any, is intended to restrain.
- skyyler 2y ago>There's no physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill. Weird, how do the people get to the camps then?
- baggy_trough 2y agoIn a car?
- skyyler 2y agoWhat happens if they don't want to get into the car?
- baggy_trough 2y agoThe agents of the state will use physical force to put them in there.
- skyyler 2y agoIs that violence to you?
- baggy_trough 2y agoNo, because it's not physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill.
- skyyler 2y agoYou don't think relocating someone to a camp against their will is intending to hurt? Are you serious about that?
- baggy_trough 2y agoCorrect on both.
- skyyler 2y agoSo you wouldn't mind too much if I forcibly relocated you to Elko, Nevada?
- baggy_trough 2y agoI would mind, but that doesn't make it violence.
