Nor should you be burdened with that.
This is why we elect competent (hopefully) leaders to worry about these things for us. Mob rule democracy about every national secret would mean they’re not secrets for very long!
- impossiblefork 5mo agoWhy should you not be burdened with that? Surely you are responsible for the consequences of what you do, no matter how indirect? After all, we live in physical reality, not in some world of laws. If you cause something you cause that thing. You are reponsible, even if it is through some long chain.
- cooper_ganglia 5mo ago> Surely you are responsible for the consequences of what you do, no matter how indirect? No, that’s preposterous. You are not responsible for the actions of others simply because your actions put them in a place to perform said actions. That seems like a very stressful way to go through life.
