Did you seriously just call Foucault and Derrida great thinkers?
You don't think evil exists?
Your reasoning is flawed in the categorical imperative. If you execute people for murder, that does not lead to everyone executing everyone else until only one person remains. Killing someone and murdering someone are two different things.
How can you look at the racial execution rate per capita without taking account of racial crime rate stats? That's very disingenuous.
There is a huge difference between killing someone and murdering someone. The Stanford experiment has been widely discredited.
there is a huge difference between killing someone and murdering someone.
What's weird is that I've been thinking about John Demjanjuk lately too. He actually popped into my mind after hearing the exoneration story of Jeffrey Deskovick on For Life podcast. The name sounded familiar, and all I could remember was that there was a guy from Cleveland who'd long been accused of being a Nazi, who had been deported to Germany.
Excellent podcast, my favorite
