So, Benj, if you choose not to be on the side of the executioners, what do you do? Fight back or lie down and die? If you choose to fight back, you are yourself becoming an executioner. If you lie down and die you are executing the generations that could come from your offspring. Your admirable thinking genetics are lost to the world. If you choose to do nothing, what are you? In a world of conflict, and I will grant you that this seems to be the nature of a world driven by competition for scarce resources, will you be permitted to do nothing?
