You Kant Handle The Truth

AITOOW thinks that people are no longer concerned/scared of the consequences of their actions (ie talking a life, getting hit by a car) and are only concerned with being judged/blamed/shamed for their actions (ie being punished for talking a life, being laughed at for being hit by a car). Anything goes as long as it is surreptitious. There is no individual sense of right and wrong just the collective. Did this start with the whole not blaming the victim crusade. Once we took the onus off keeping people safe through "shaming" them into logical/prophylactic behavior and into making sure they saved face, did we change the whole way in which we define harm. It went from the "action" verbs to the "descriptive" verbs. From the physical harm to the emotional. And now the protagonist has co-opted the same type of ethics. It's not the harm or benefit conveyed, it is whether it was observed and accepted by society. If society says a poke in the eye is acceptable then it is. Whether that is refutable or not. I guess it's just more 20th century Subjectivism.
