the question is why am I chaining them. I wouldn’t do this because I think it is immoral to chain people up, but I don’t need to invoke the spectre of torture to believe it’s wrong.
torture is a specific thing. there may be a medical reason to do it. if I cut off your foot, that might be a form of torture, but if I do it because it’s dangerous or mangled, it’s a mercy. the intent matters. incidental pain is not torture.
