Whether it's in war or peacetime, no one is innocent whatsoever; everyone is deserving of violence against them. Let's talk about war first, you pay taxes which are used by your government to fund the military, in a time of war, you're complicit in the violence and you've indirectly killed people, the same thing is the case if you buy war bonds, etc. It's rather simple, really. You're not forced to work and pay taxes; you could stop in protest of the war, there will be consequences, but you should be willing to pay them by principle. This logic applies to being drafted as well, no one is forced to fight a war. Let's talk fundamentally about the nature of earthly life. You cannot survive without harming and consuming other living beings; being a vegan doesn't solve this by any means, you're still killing, and it's unhealthy. A diet of milk and honey still harms bees and cattle. No matter what, your survival is hinged on the suffering of others. Let's touch on labor exploitation and modern slavery. The consumer products you buy are produced by literal wage slaves in sweatshops, they're paid pennies. The minerals used for batteries are a famous example; we all know about child labor in Africa. It's far more common than you'd think. The point is that if you have a smartphone or any other electronic you're complicit in the suffering and exploitation of countless people in the third world. I'm not promoting moral faggotry, actually the opposite, but you cannot say you're a good person because you aren't, no one is. Here's another example that's relevant to our plight and this site. By being a Chad, you mogging others is causing suffering for them; therefore, your existence isn't moral. A paralysed person in a wheelchair will be reminded of their condition when I walk past; I'm causing pain and suffering; therefore, my existence isn't moral, it's immoral to cause suffering, and by moral, I mean according to traditional conceptions, not a conviction of my own. On a meta level, the existence of the "other" is the direct cause of all suffering. If you were on an island all to yourself and knew of no other, you wouldn't suffer as long as your survival needs were met. The largest cause of suffering in modernity, in particular, is competition within hierarchies. Hierarchies are ever present, and you're affected by them whether you like it or not. If there were no one to be compared to, I'd be the happiest being on earth. Comparison is the largest cause of suffering outside of injury and struggle for survival. Especially when you accept that you're judged for what you cannot change. By existing, even as an incel, I cause suffering for others as I'm at least more attractive than those who've had it the worst. I'm a mentalcel first and foremost and a LTN secondly.
