Stakes

Sharpened spikes made of wood that are used to kill vampires.
Hym "Why not? Because in the context of 'self-preservation' all it does is raise the stakes. If you are aggressing upon me you leave me only two choices, allow myself to be subjugated or destroy you completely for the crime of believing that my will could not usurp your own."

Iam "That would be (I guess) the antithesis of the 'inherent value' argument but for not oppressing people. Did I say that right?"

Hym "No. But I'm sure they see what you meant. Why not oppress people? Because I'll kill you if you try and fail. And then I might like killing. So then I'll just kill some more. I'll kill and I'll kill until I've had my fill and then I'll die (but I was already going to do that anyway). Because if I don't you'll oppress me and my family until the day I die and and everyone else will let you get away with it because I'm 'The Bad One'. Or you'll have to kill me. And then you won't have anyone to oppress."
