sir @kernel, Your i am supporting your thought. we everyone wants justice. Your post is so interesting. This types of post can grow our awareness. Keep sharing sir. You are great and creative thoughtful. Your thinking made me your fan sir. Best wishes for you.

Evel is inside us, and we should not let him out.

Sometimes all we need is just not to play along

I agree in general, in principle, but not everyone is a fighter, and evil could be small or very large.
Taking down a big evil (crime?) organization takes time and preparation, it's a job. So it can't be done by volunteers.
Maybe it could be done in a more decentralized way, or with private security, instead of statal / federal, but it would always be a delegation of power.

There is a strange state of mind spreading through the world. We have turned our power and rights over to the state, or government without even realizing it. We follow it what ever it dictates, mindless consumption, on the cost of others well being.

We get voting options and humanitarian projects to live in the illusion of being a good force for the world. We say that there is law and order, but why is the system here ? Who is it controlling ? It only halts anyone trying to go their own way, it censors free speech and information. Law and order punishes the weakest, the outsiders that turned to drugs, or those who those who is forced to steal food for their families. But Wall street guys, managing hedge funds or pensions, steals 100´s of millions but never see a day in jail.

This system, It is instigated to scare us into surrendering all power to it. To believe in the system as the only salvation and savior against violence and disease. To worship science as our god, and big bang as our creator, nothing did this they say. We are simple animals they say, so we act accordingly.

But remember the vote on the alternative party, is still a vote for the system, and the money we send to the other side of the world, to buy someone food, is just a slap in the face, we build the entire system by abusing those who could not defend them self's . We idly sit by, and watch the system we build and bought with our blood sweat and tears becomes our own prison, a prison that slowly eats away on our planet and souls.

We got so much that we can send it over to someone else, still we want more ?  Are we only here to spare the change ?

You are right sir, if we protest or target those who oppress, we are called out as the problem. This is the main distraction used by those who follow the system blindly, which is everyone by now. It comforts us, makes us feel accepted while we shut down rational opinions with rubbish.

I wounder how soldiers can kill for a salary, but opposing war and killing, makes us hippie pacifists, and what not. We can take being ridiculed, moral demands that of us!

If more humans faced the fact that there is right and wrong, good and evil, and started acting accordingly everything would change, and the system we build would fall.

I think admitting that we are not simple animals, and that we carry deep knowledge of right and wrong within, is the first step! After admitting, the struggle starts, replacing the illusions society forced us to believe with moral. Acting for what is right, even thou it might hurt our social well fare, status etc, this is the sick thing holding us back, the fear of not fitting in to the profoundly sick society.

Did´t someone say: It is no measure of sanity to fit in to this profoundly sick society.

I agree 100% we are not meant to feel good in this state, and we are not doing that either. Disease murders suicides all rising, but it is not uss that is insane, it is the world turning sick, the society becoming more mindless and corrupt everyday.

Thanks for your nice posts, they are always inspiring :)

Peace

Some time ago, I can't put a finger on the exact moment, I went from believing I have a _right_ to resist evil, to believing I have an _obligation_ to do so. It took me a long time to get there though. There's a whole post in that story, but it came down to realizing that if I didn't stand up and _at least try_ to do something, how could I expect anyone else to? 

This post comes at an opportune moment. The next section(s) of Towards Voluntaryism deal with the right, present in the USA, to perform a citizen's arrest. I will resteem this to my feed as a primer, thank you for writing it. 

And who can do something about evil? We all can. The belief that "anyone who gets in the way of central authorities and their attempt to enforce justice, is obstructing justice," is definitely a problem. An additional problem at this point is that enforcing the law is not the same as enforcing justice, and many can't tell the difference. But that too is a post unto itself.

This post by @dwinblood is a great companion to this post: [When you hear someone say "Don't be evil" did they define evil?](https://steemit.com/voluntarism/@dwinblood/when-you-hear-someone-say-don-t-be-evil-did-they-define-evil).

You touched upon a topic I've recently been thinking of for awhile.   It is also worth bringing up my own conclusion about this.   I do think there is one mistake in your suggestion, but I do not think it is intentional. 

Ending evil is a good goal.   The danger is in how it is framed.

The original Google Motto of "*Don't be evil*" was a good motto in my opinion as it focused on themselves.

It was not about "Stopping Evil" it was about not being evil.   For as you well know the only person any of us truly have control of or the RIGHT to control is ourselves.

I have been thinking lately that the censorship and negative actions coming from Google, Youtube, etc are because they have transitioned from "Don't be Evil" to "Stop Evil".

Evil is subjective to most people.   They haven't truly stopped to think about what it is.   It can be someone they deem is racist that is evil.  It can be someone not being of their religion.   It can be someone of another political party.   It can be someone that disagrees with them.

The inescapable truth is people doing Evil often think they are doing good.

So once we introduce "Stop Evil" as a premise it is a dangerous path to doing evil.

We can attempt to stop it within ourselves, that is why I liked Google's initial motto.

For me evil has been distilled down to one concept.    Involuntary, or Force, Aggression, etc.

It needs to be defined because the indoctrination centers of the colleges have created this new term micro-aggressions which isn't aggression at all but it let's their cult members pretend anything they take offense to is aggression.

Why is this important?

While the Non-Aggression Principle is a key part of not being evil as far as I am concerned it is not the same as being a pacifist.   People following the NAP are not only free, but encouraged to defend themselves and others who are the targets of aggression.    The introduction of micro-aggressions as a term can make the entire NAP null and void as they can pretty much view anything as aggression.

So to understand my concept of evil.   First, throw micro-aggressions as a term into the waste bin where it belongs.

The NAP is important because it is very easy when "stopping" anything for our subjective thoughts to label things.   This has been common with the label of "evil".

My opinion on the matter is that we only truly can stop ourselves.   We can also protect ourselves from evil (defense) which in my case would be people attempting to force, coerce, etc me against my will.

Mainly I wanted to comment as I personally believe "stop evil" is a dangerous path.   Many madmen have thought they were doing exactly that.

one man's evil is another man's business plan.

Governments can't be so naive to think they will handle this. They won't. It is better to have armed citizens all over the country, who can take justice in their own hands if necessary. Of course, there must be correct legislative to avoid emotionally unstable people getting weapons as we see in the US.

This being said, evil itself can not be completely eliminated. Wihout evil, we will not value the good. I am glad I met or witnessed some evil, it set me some moral standards. In a limited amount, evil benefits us.

We have to find the positive deviation, that is, those places in the system where the change is already taking place, or experiment with alternatives and evaluate the result as soon as possible, to clone the success model wherever we can. Without downplaying what has been done so far, which is above all to make many people aware of the problems, we also have to try solutions. For this, first it will be necessary to identify which can be the best bets, to concentrate the efforts there. During the next year or the next years I think that it is there where all the effort should be devoted, and present some concrete proposal, because it will always be better to act than not to do anything.

"Those who are evil prevail when those who are good do nothing."

@krnel since you talk about badness A short time ago there was a case of 2 delinquents who stole a family residence and tied up the whole family except a young girl who was raped, the girl's father, since she was able to escape from the moorings of the rope and capable of killing one criminal and the other left him seriously injured, justice does not serve the man who was given 20 years in prison for having murdered 1 delinquent who had sexually abused his daughter.

This case gives the example that you have to let yourself be killed or robbed because if you take justice into your own hand you will be imprisoned

It is pretty interesting that you used Rorschach from Watchmen as the image of your posts in the quotes utilized. 

He believed in absolute good and evil with no middle ground and if he saw evil he would go after it and punish it without and question or hesitation on whoever it is. This one track mind led him to conflict with the others at all times but he remained strong on his moral code. 

We know that people have a universal understanding of what is right right or wrong in the likes that to take a life is bad, stealing is bad and to help your fellow man is good yet we have caged ourselves to the rules imposed by governments which often times they are the first ones to disregard as they place their own selfish desires first before the people. 
When they outlawed the possession of gold from people they confiscated it and yet it was stealing hidden behind a law. 
in the same way when we see someone doing evil and we try to stop them and end up in trouble either because of strong backers or because of a loophole in the law then you know there is something wrong. 

We are indoctrinated that vigilantism is bad even if we are stopping evil. We are taught not to place the law in our own hands even if might mean a life lost or even our own.

Nice post brother

Nice post brother

you've established you want to eradicate evil, however the question which arises is "who is evil and good" and "who decides it". Good and evil are black and white, how do we decide that in a greyish world like ours. Some government officials may seem evil, but if you look deeper they could be good.
