yea we're all implicated in evil, obviously. especially when you're performing roles in institutions. and furthermore its important not to just flatten over the particularities of such evil though!
thats the main thing that bugged me about diza's objection and characterization of me before. like yea obvi we're all implicated but that doesn't mean you just throw up your hands and flatten everything out. the difference DOES matter, even if it were just quantitative (it's not)
i didn't do a good job of analyzing my own particularity but the specificity nonetheless matters a great deal. the aversion to recognition (even going so far as to deny!) is embarrassing*. the dismissal is preemptive and the characterization as slave morality misses the more true morality embedded
