Comment on How are slavery reparations fair?

  I can't think of a single ethical framework that considers having someone else do your dirty work as permissible. If you have zero agency, sure. If you have nearly all the agency, like the colonial powers, no.

    I’ve never said that it was a good or acceptable thing, im just very very opposed to the idea of reparations for such things.

      Clearly. No matter the argument, you’re against reparations. That’s not because you have drawn a logical conclusion. You just believe it.

        I have a reason. Just read the other comments, its explained there. And yes i am in general in disfavor of repetitions for most things. Money can’t buy you free from historically moral debt.

      “I’m not saying it’s ok, I’m just saying you should never have to take any responsibility for it”

      That’s what you just said. Jackass.

        What “responsibility” they are all dead! Guilt is not hereditary!

  This argument is based on the idea that buying ill-gotten water is equivalent to buying people
