re: #115 Colère Tueur de Lapin

Let’s make it more simple —

Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

You tried to add nuance to what, how, and why those in power do. I don’t believe that there is nuance. As always, YMMV.

It’s been awhile, but I stopped using that axiom after encountering a pretty thorough critique. I’ll see if I can find it again. What I recall is: power clarifies.

As for me, I don’t want to just establish the machine of society is unsafe by counting injuries, then slap a “UNSAFE” label on it while it still operates…I want to take apart the machine to see exactly what keeps killing people precisely because people have to use the machine.
