What morality requires
Morality exists only among beings who can affect one another. Once more than one being exists, justification cannot be one-sided. A valid rule must be justifiable to all affected beings without arbitrary self-exemption.
Why domination fails
Domination is unilateral power without symmetric justification. It lets one party impose rules while exempting itself from reciprocal accountability. If everyone claimed that permission, coexistence would collapse into distrust, retaliation, and coercion.
False moral dilemmas
Many dilemmas are not natural or fundamental. They are produced by coercive scaffolding: property regimes, state borders, prisons, debt, wage dependence, hierarchy, and manufactured scarcity. These problems are real, but their source is artificial.
How to act inside broken systems
When escape is not immediately possible, choose the action that most reduces domination, prevents irreversible harm, preserves moral standing, and avoids stabilizing the structure that created the dilemma.
The claim
The aim of morality is not better rulers, kinder domination, or fairer hierarchy. The aim is non-domination.
