What morality requires
Morality exists among beings who can affect one another. Once more than one being is affected, justification cannot be one-sided. A valid rule cannot exempt the powerful merely because they are powerful.
Why domination fails
Domination is power imposed without adequate justification to those subjected to it. If a rule is justified only when one party holds the power, but not when positions are reversed, power itself is doing the moral work. Power can enforce a rule. It cannot make the rule right.
False moral dilemmas
Many dilemmas are not natural or fundamental. They are produced by coercive arrangements: unjust property relations, borders, prisons, debt, wage dependence, hierarchy, and manufactured scarcity. These problems are real, but the structures producing them are human-made and morally answerable.
How to act inside broken systems
When escape is not immediately possible, choose the action that most reduces domination, prevents irreversible harm, preserves the ability to resist and repair, and avoids stabilizing the structure that created the dilemma.
The claim
Morality does not require better rulers, kinder domination, or fairer arbitrary hierarchy. Differences in power require justification. Domination has none.
