The principle of forfeiture generally supports the idea that individuals may lose their rights to not be harmed if they initiate harm against others, thereby justifying actions like self-defense or deception in the face of aggression. It does not claim that self-defense is morally unacceptable; rather, it provides a moral foundation for self-defense under certain conditions.
