Via Rachel Brown on Left, Right, and Center, an interesting suggestion for a moral rule:

While violence may sometimes be unfortunately justified, what if we declare dehumanizing and inflammatory language by leaders to never be justified, and impose a strong moral and international-law prohibition of that. Would that help us restrict organized violence to what is genuinely unavoidable, help prevent gratuitous carnage?

Not endorsing, considering. Interesting. kcrw.com/news/shows/left-right
