Hegel deemed the security state’s sacrifice logic a fatal contradiction.

Evidence

To claim to justify the exposure of lives by an imperative to protect those same lives seemed to him not only an unacceptable sophism but also a “grave miscalculation.” The question was not whether the sacrifice was justifiable—it was—but whether it could continue to be once the principle of the protection of lives was accepted as the essential basis of state power, “for this security cannot be achieved by the sacrifice of what is supposed to be secured—on the contrary.” As Hegel saw it, the contradiction, unacceptable in those terms, revealed the full falsity of theories about a security state. To assign the state the sole purpose of maintaining “the security of goods and people” was to be mistaken about the destiny of a state and indeed about its very meaning. — Grégoire Chamayou, A Theory of the Drone, 563
