Thus evil can be perpetrated without restraint.
Evil acts first by undermining the principle of rules
Then by subverting the application of rules
Finally, it invents its own application of rules.
The opposite of principles are sins. Without understanding, principles will inevitably degrade towards sin. Certain areas are the birthplaces of principles; their regression involves their transformation into places of sin. This is enacted by an authority undermining the foundation of a particular principle, and applying the ensuing sin, the counterpart, throughout the region he or she commands. With the success of the collusion to fatally undermine a principle, other morally bereft states will imitate the behavior of the perpetrating state, leading to the sudden undermining of principle in vast regions of the United States.
It should be noted that there are multiple principles, and thus there will be multiple centers where there will be degradation of a principle. Each epicenter’s success or failure in conspiracy will lead to either propagation of sin or a re-establishing of principle.
Propagation can be resisted if consciously recognized. Backlash is best generated by educating the populace of the moral degeneracy of the authority, through evidence of actions and decisions aimed at the undermining of principle. Principle is that which exists for the benefit of all; sin is that which exists solely for the benefit of one.
People can also be considered centers or epicenters of principle or sin. In the case of the latter, their removal can considerably slow degradation of principle, or at least enact a temporary period where the corruptive forces must regroup. However, this removal must be non-violent, whether legal or through political pressure. Violent removal has repercussions, most significantly in creating a vacuum of power and an immediate alignment of state forces against public forces, leading to conflict. Additionally, non-violent removal has an inhibitory effect that violent removal often lacks; beyond this, the vacuum created by violent removal is likelier to generate another authority amenable to the degradation of principle than to be occupied by a moral authority.
