ETHICS · qaeda:concept:civilian-protection
Civilian protection
Responsibility remains connected to agency; populations, voters, taxpayers, ethnic groups, and other civilian categories are not substitutes for political power.
Definition
The civilian line rejects collective guilt and intentional attacks on people merely because they belong to a population associated with an institution or conflict.
Also used here as: civilian line, individual responsibility over collective guilt.
Why it matters
A theory of resistance that turns whole populations into fungible representatives of power reproduces one of domination’s oldest tools. QAEDA’s political research therefore remains non-operational and rejects attacks on civilians.
