Seems to me that being on the shit end of a power imbalance can be set apart from questions of character and shoe-on-other-foot hypotheticals. To me, whether a slave is decent to his children has little to do with his role in the master/slave relation. And children, like corporations, are mostly systematic externalizers of pain, internalizers of gain. I won't dispute that for a second.Devin Lendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122506454377940662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3880822917603129233.post-79317035648341710782014-04-16T13:23:31.588-07:002014-04-16T13:23:31.588-07:00It might be worth thinking how would the child, if...It might be worth thinking how would the child, if they had the choice, treat the parent and look after the parent - and keep in mind this is from the capacities and inclinations of a child (not oneself as an adult)<br /><br />Possibly the child would not treat the adult very well at all. Think of a child leaving a pet to starve, for example.<br /><br />We might feel the victim, but would we have been an even bigger victimiser had we had control?C Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14408232929595624699noreply@blogger.com
