Is it the duty of the strong to protect the weak or subjugate them?

I don’t think subjugating others is anybody’s duty. 😒

@bijouxbroussard Depends on your calling i guess.

@bijouxbroussard An individual that wants to make a stronger society that has reached its full potential.
@Arzawa That makes no sense. How does subjugating others accomplish that ? And who determines what “potential” needs to be reached or what it means to have a “stronger society” ?

@bijouxbroussard Because the weak are weak because of their own life choices and physical/intellectual capacity. They are below the strong. They won't fight for their own interests. Therefore they will be utilized to strengthen ours.
@Arzawa Yeah, that’s just an excuse for tyranny. And there is always someone bigger, stronger and smarter. Doesn’t mean they deserve to rule you. I completely disagree.

@bijouxbroussard Indeed. That is why we must become stronger. The weak are ruled. The strong rule. Taking American History into account. The Natives were weak. Being disconnected from other human populations made them susceptible to disease carried by our ancestors. Their reduced numbers were no match for the onslaught of European invaders.

African Americans are descended largely from peoples that were weak or defeated in battle. Their overlords sold them to Europeans in exchange for weapons. They were further subjugated in America by a people that didn't see them as human.

Weakness is never a virtue. Weakness is suffering.
