@SpireJim@UncleBillz I share this view but because am not a Professor i couldn’t express it this articulately & with this politeness.
In my own words i say; that gullible woman, the nincopoomp Zeija & the whole goddamned Judiciary are weaponized against the populace, none is innocent!
Duncan, while this might be understood from the angle of fear and avoidance of danger to self, I don’t think it takes away moral responsibility. In ethics, we usually don’t make moral attribution where an actor lacks freedom or knowledge. But, from a consequentialist perspective, if we say there is no freedom in the magistrate’s act and therefore no moral responsibility, the wider moral implications are absurd. A person who steals out of fear of poverty is also morally cleared. Another who eliminates a colleague who is likely to take their job is also not culpable. The list goes on. Sometimes giving a semblance of lack of freedom is simply a pronouncement that ‘between my benefit and harming an innocent person, I choose my benefit’. It is a false dilemma projected in defence of weak consciences. Presenting facilitators of violence as helpless victims simply serves to motivate more into such performance.
@faithkwizera4@oswaldmuhwezi People have sacrificed a lot over many years by exposing the “Muhoozi project” and now the “Project” is finally here, it has been laid bare. And see how fools act surprised!
@masuhd_@Beinomugisha_ There is an ayat of the Qur’an that tells us not to turn away the beggar in a rage, always be gentle & polite to the beggar especially when you don’t have what is being requested.
