I know, I just always found the term mildly ridiculous. Benevolence is very much subjective, but it’s a stretch to say that being forced to become the tool of someone else can really ever be benevolence, as it erases the most fundamental aspect of human dignity by treating human beings as pets instead of persons.
Also, I didn’t mean to take your quote out of context. I was taking a jab at the term itself, not you or your legitimate use of it. Sorry if I caused any confusion.
