Isn’t it by now axiomatic that people with the job title ‘ethicist’ exemplify the banality of evil?

These jackasses tried to force me to take poison and now they want to be treated cordially?

After some deep, honest retrospection, I'd like a little hanging, drawing and quartering, and if that for some baffling reason is off the table, let's go with some honestly retrospective evidence-driven criminal trials and a hearty helping of long prison terms. Since I ain't vengeful or nothing.

It's simple. Majority opinion has to shift in favor of vengeance, and the Head Girls will be with us, with all their breathy interviews and Atlantique articles.

You do a much better job of articulating these things - so, my question to you is; why have most western societies more or less put Head Girls like Alena into these kinds of positions? I mean, in most cases, as much as I dislike people like this, I am more troubled by the system of rewards which put them in their positions, rather than their individual lack of character, integrity, or personality. Why do we reward this?

How about no? Or, alternatively, GFY Alena.

"it might help, though, is in dissuading future bureaucrats and policy makers from doing anything similar in the future." It's for this reason that the backlash should be severe and disproportionate. No amount of over reaction to what was done to us is too much to make sure that the Fauci's and Biden's of the world think twice before doing this again.

"As a Head Girl, though, she believes deeply that conformity is pro-social."

Yep, these "Head Girls" will destroy every civil liberty we have, not just free speech. As long as everyone agrees that we should burn witches, burning witches is a "good thing".

Would Alena Buyx have found anything wrong with anything that the Third Reich did?

Of course the guilty vax and lockdown activists want to get off free. It is like a serial killer asking to get put back on the streets. No way they need to be punished so this never happens again.

Yeah. And it sounds nicer when we say that people who lost their jobs or family members from the jab mandates were just "unfortunate."

The sociopath usually can rationalize all manner of behavior. People need to face consequences, jobs need to be lost and the guy in your image who kicked the protester in the head should face charges. The protesters were not armed nor were they violent. There was no need to treat them that way. If we allow this to stand they will be running us over with tanks next time.

On the very positive side, this is an admission of guilt. They think they can just tip toe into it.

An NFL player has just suffered a cardiac arrest (around 24 yrs old), Buffalo Bills I think.

2023 is going to be an eventful year.

If I cannot blame someone with public visibility, does that imply that I must blame myself? And what about the relationship between blame and responsibility? Ms. Buyx is wrong. Perhaps she is trying to protect herself.

I feel the guilt. It oozes from those who fear their weak complicity. The death throes of the Big Lie.
