David Graeber Quote

Если история чему-нибудь учит, то ее урок таков: нет лучшего способа оправдать отношения, основанные на насилии, и придать им нравственный облик, чем выразить их языком долга, — прежде всего потому, что это сразу создает впечатление, будто сама жертва делает что-то не так. Это понимают мафиози. Так поступают командующие победоносными армиями. На протяжении тысяч лет агрессоры могли говорить своим жертвам, что те им что-то должны: они «обязаны им своими жизнями» (фраза, говорящая сама за себя) просто потому, что их не убили.
