"It is an objectively true, empirically verifiable fact that Barack Obama has ordered the deaths of more people than Muammar Qaddafi or Bashar al-Assad. But not his own people. Ergo the moral duty falls to the greater murderer to murder the lesser because it is worse to kill your neighbor somehow than some random dude across town. Well, actually, given the Hobbesian social compact, it is. And you know, by the way, the next time you go worrying about a Hobbesian state of nature, you may recall that not only did Hobbes have no idea what such a state might consist of, living as he did before archaeology, anthropology, paleontology, zoology, biology, or pretty much any ology that might contribute in any meaningful way to an understanding of how the animal world functions, let alone how pre-agricultural homonids might interact with each other and their environment, but also he was an apologist for totalitarian theocratic monarchy; his vision of the State wasn’t the fucking Works Progress Administration; it was the Ukranian Famine."
