Oh.
You mean if I get caught and punished accordingly?
"Whoever has the gold, makes the rules" or something else?
(Btw I am being facetious here ... not that I think you would have missed it, but I thought it might warrant a disclaimer since others appear, at least if we take their comments on face value, to struggle with comprehension skills unless they are decked out with readers notes or something).
History certainly illustrates several viable alternatives. In contemporary affairs, the rising position of china as a super power illustrates another. I mean, china has been accused of many things, but being humanitarian does not appear to be one of them.
Makes sense when there is a level playing field in terms of distribution power. But if I am actually in a position where you cannot retalliate in any consequential manner (or I am too dull headed to forsee you have such power to deliver consequences), what then?
I mean you certainly don't see such behaviour where the rewards of ruthlessness are high (the financial and corporate sector comes to mind ... dodging taxes, employee turn over, rolling assets to avoid compensation pay outs, declaring bankruptcy to avoid paying subcontractors, etc)
