Camp Preference

“Which would you prefer - to be in a concentration camp run by the far left or by the far right?”

“I don’t think I’d have much in the way of preference.”

“But while if you were in one run by the far right you’d just be a victim of evil, if you were in one run by the far left, you’d still have the joyful consolation of knowing this was part of a beautiful project leading to future bliss for everyone worthy of living in this future bliss.”

“And what about everyone not deemed worthy?”

“Well they end up in the concentration camps, but they’d realise, if they had a conscience, that they’d still be playing their part in some sense for the future. Like manure. So which camp now would you prefer to be in?”

“I still don’t think I’d have much preference either way.”

“God, you’re stubborn!”
