As I mentioned last week, I play games like Civilization V, where war is not only a thing, but an almost natural part of diplomacy. I have always disliked war, both in games and in real life, but sometimes, I believe it is necessary. Violence is the only way to begin and end brutalized oppression. Is it wrong to attack a human, when that human being wants to kill you, when that human being wants to kill other humans? Where in morality do we have rules for when to kill, when not to kill? In any situation, as soon as one person breaks this ‘proper’ moral code for not killing humans, the most necessary course of action would again break those morals. Killing a murderer, warring against a warlord, it is all wrong, but yet we, as society do it. We would sooner break a law in order to enforce that same law than to sit idly by.
