You want people to see a future they can’t see, yet when they do the moral thing, but it allows a secondary effect that’s negative, you expect them to have seen it from. your advantage of hindsight. I think this is rather silly justification for your wants and priors.
Problems were real, serious, and people died in large numbers. The people sought a solution that would prevent those problems reoccurring. They had moral intentions, moral designs, and pursued them at great cost to them and their people in an attempt to avoid the greater costs they’d just experienced – as did the world.
So yes, I think you’re silly. 😉
Still think you’re brilliant, talented, charming, likable, and in my case, lovable – and mostly right – about anything at least where you don’t have some vested interest in the world being other than it was for the reasons it was to the people who were there at the time. 😉

Does legacy matter? No. Stopping ‘criminal’ behavior, punishing the government, and the people if necessary, and preventing repetition of their ‘criminal’ behavior against their people or other peoples, and forcing them to engage in peaceful internal economic and cultural…

There are only three problems 1) searching for a moral solution that is in everyone’s interest – even if no criminal wishes his (or in this case, her) crimes suppressed 2) discovering what that solution is, and 3) obtaining the power to implement it.
I am not so worried about…

HOLDING BOOMERS TO ACCOUNT? WHAT ABOUT YOU AND YOUR GENERATION – WHAT WILL YOU BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR?
–“First step is to admit you have a problem then make changes. … the changes require significant sacrifices…”– Keith Kowalski (@KeithinSimi )
First, if they were sold a bill of goods and did what they were told was right, then why are they to blame for doing such things? Are you willing to be held to blame for what you’re doing and have done? Won’t future generations look back at gen Y and Z and say that they were criminally lazy incompetents that accepted the downfall of civilization and did nothing about it except hide their heads in the electronic media sand?
Second, if you ask the president of our organization who has mastered dog training and produces the very expensive german shepherds, and additionally has mastered my work and applied it in political activism, he will say that there is no difference between training dogs and people, other than people do more excuse making. 😉
I can without a doubt find something you believe that you are not aware you do, that is false. Worse, having done so I could use that example to show you how, despite that you have a given moral bias, that it’s largely genetic, and use that to explain how others vary in that moral bias (and that they’re wrong but don’t know it).
So, the problem is, given that most people, the vast majority, operate on information that they believe is independently determined by is not, and instead, is collectively influenced. And that they have no idea what they are really doing – they only know how to justify what they’re doing (women are the worst at this), then how can we claim those who err for those reasons can recognize they have a problem and make changes?

THE NECESSITY OF DISTRIBUTING STORIES FOR ALL, AND OF POLICING THEM FOR REVERSAL OF RESPONSIBILITY
–“Stories have a place in keeping society on track. Unfortunately, stories have fragmented into malignant propaganda”–Taijitu Observer
Correct. Or put another way, stories are universally comprehensible, especially if reduced to moral mythos.
It’s a greater burden to master it’s systematization in theology. A much greater burden to master reason and philosophy, an even greater burden to master empiricism and science. And a serious challenge to master first principles and constructive logic.
So, stories must be produced so that they can distribute information to all, but those up the conceptual food chain must ensure that these stories do not produce the negative affects that are so easily interpreted into them.
After all, all civilization is the exchange for the reduction of costs to the individual for increasing responsibility to the commons by the individual, despite the increasing absence of feedback to the individual, as the division of labor, responsibility, knowledge and agency increase with prosperity.

MARTIN STEPAN ON NOBLESSE OBLIGE
Definition: “Noblesse oblige” is a French phrase that translates to “nobility obligates.” It conveys the idea that those who hold significant power, wealth, ability, or social status have a responsibility to act with generosity, honor, and integrity towards those less privileged. And such privilege comes with moral and social responsibilities, obligating one to lead by example, showing kindness and benevolence.
From Martin Stepan (@autistocratMS)
–“Noblesse oblige, whether on individual or group level, is about dealing with the weak, those who likely cannot attain self-determination at all, in a way that’s good for them, even beyond the limits set by our rule of natural law. I find this obviously desirable for our people, just not something I expect when there’s no incentive.
Also, I despise the use of the word oppression. It can mean a thousand different things and typically lacks the accounting for how the supposedly oppressed is himself contributing to the interaction.
Common use is just to criticize any use of authority but lower or feminine classes of people are unlikely to be capable of making the best decisions for themselves in which case providing them with an authority to guide them through life is an example of noblesse oblige that would simultaneously be considered oppression.”–

It’s not that I’m a bad man, It’s that I could easily be a bad man, because that I understand bad men, and instead I would protect my people from bad men. 😉
