      QC Retweeted Kat Murti

      None of us can escape nonconsensual power relationships. We did not and could not have chosen to be born to our parents, who in turn could not have avoided exerting power over us if they wanted to raise us at all. Those of us who have children will be in that position too.https://twitter.com/KatMurti/status/1133425127033638914 …

      There's nothing wrong with the urge to exercise power over others — as long as it's safe, sane, and consensual. Those three things describe BDSM, but not the State. https://twitter.com/ARossP/status/1132298275908968449 …

      QC Retweeted Yoram Hazony

      The dream of being able to make decisions starting from a place of total non-coercion by default is an atomized vision of what it means to be human in relation with other humans, and it does not actually work. See:https://twitter.com/yhazony/status/1130584533391355906 …

      QC added,

      This theory was invented by men who did live more or less this way. But anyone who has raised children knows this theory isn’t true. I’m not free to choose my children and they aren’t free to choose me. Very often obligation has little or nothing to do with consent.

      OTOH parenting requires routinely violating the consent of children in some sense, e.g. making them go to sleep or go to school when they don't want to. We don't have a coherent ethical story about this.

      Thinking that power is the problem, or even power exercised nonconsensually, doesn't work either. It just incentivizes you to lie to yourself (and then others) about the ways in which you have and exert power.

      I imagine all of this was obvious to previous generations; that it's not now is a manifestation of trauma that we now have around our families and around power, which can and must be healed if we want to raise children and take on the mantle of power ourselves.

      The French word for "thank you" is literally "merci", which I assume is essentially short for "I'm at your mercy." The power dynamics behind gratitude are hidden in plain sight; this probably used to be taken for granted.

      Wow, turns out the etymology of "merci" is fascinating. It is cognate with "mercy" but the Latin root "merces" means "wages, fee, price" so it's also cognate with "merchandise"! As in, showing mercy = taking on the price of what you did wrong?

          Hmm, seems that link is something about heavenly reward earned by showing kindness to the helpless. (etymology of thank ~= reward as well) https://www.etymonline.com/word/mercy#etymonline_v_14664 …

          Etymology of Merci: From old French "merchi" "mercid" "mierchi" "marchi" meaning: favour, service, mercy, grâce, clemency, benevolence. From Latin "mercedem" [note of mine: mercredi being french for Wednesday, possibly symbolising the day of retribution]
