The arguement against offering an apology
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.
Summary
What a foolish idea to have someone apologize for something somebody else did.
3rd party atonement
"I need a white person to pay for sins perpetrated against my great great great great grand mother""
-
Imagine if a Father sinned. Would it be ethical and moral to make the child pay for that sin? Perhaps the grandchild should pay? Or maybe the great-grandchild? Maybe it should be the great great grandchild?
Of course, you should eventually come to realise that it is an absurd notion! Should you also pay for sins that your parents inflicted on others? Perhaps your parents were saints.
“I still need a Mofo to pay for the Injustice!”
He who seeks revenge should dig 2 graves
To the person who demands an apology for a past injustice. I wonder if they ever ask themselves:
- Which side of their personal identity is owed an apology their Mum’s side or the Dad’s side?
- How many generations back do you need to go to find the injustice?
- Does the injustice you claim have clear evidence that would stand up in court today? There is 2 sides to every story if you don’t know your opponents side then you only know half the story.
- Did anyone benefit from the alleged injustice? Including anyone from your family blood lines.
What if the injustice was applied on one side of the family but benefit was made on the other side benefited?
What the aggrieved person benefits far more that the original injustice
But wait! Surely at some point I will be related to the perpetrator of the original injustice…*slaps forehead
Someone from the Present Apologising for a past injustice they had nothing to do with
How about if a serial killer slaughters your family while they sleep. Is it moral and ethical for someone else to forgive the killer while ignoring your feelings on the subject? Of course that is another absurd notion
The Past belongs in the past
Let sleeping dogs lie”.
“The past is unpredictable.
The history of the world is one of conquest, corruption, injustice, and untold horrors. Every human has experienced cruelty and injustice. .
There are plenty of good reasons to try and equalise those inequalities in the present
Gender, ethnicity, religion
2. Imagine there is a workplace where only red people work. It openly rejects orange and yellow people from working there.
- When: Every single generation anywhere in history, any place in history
- Why: Red people created the environment and want to protect it because it is good
- How: Excluding anyone that is not red
- Impact: Clearly defined easy to get triggered rejected by at least 3 generations
And there was a time that those injustices should have been corrected however today we live in the best time in the history of humanity
Some bearch gotta pay!
There is usually only a limited amount of damage that can be done by dull or stupid people. For creating a truly monumental disaster, you need people with high IQs.
People who think that they are being “exploited” should ask themselves whether they would be missed if they left, or whether people would say: “Good riddance”?
We seem to be moving steadily in the direction of a society where no one is responsible for what he himself did, but we are all responsible for what somebody else did, either in the present or in the past.
