Take the word "nigger"

Someone of the radical left wants this word banned because they are consequentialist. The context and intent of the word matter not. They only care if saying the word will have negative consequences.

If you listen to their justifications for it being banned it is quite clear

Same with polices

Look at affirmative action

You can commit the evil of racial discrimination as long as it benefits the "greater good" or at least their perceived greater good.

The left is thanos

Consequentialism isn't necessarily just utilitarianism FYI

Utilitarianism is a branch of consequentialism tho

u right tho

But yeah Utilitarianism is trash

Also I believe the reason the left deserters left the left is cause they are deontologists

I saw the moral arguments Tim was making in his videos

I think this is the true split in the left

The ones who base their morality on Utilitarianism and those who are Deontologists

Also I think the reason we group the far left and far right is because both their moralities are based on Utilitarianism

Maybe I am wrong idfk

But I just thought of that today

I think a lot of people might couch their moral defense in consequentialism even if they work off of a rules basis the rest of the time

Like for instance I suspected that even if the data showed that miscegenation forms ubermensch, ethnonationalists would still want to ethnonation

I think when broken down into reality humans vary

But

the ideologies that are pushed

can be looked at

u r probably right @Beemann

I think I might be wrong with the far right

I just think a lot of the far left make a lot of greater good arguments to justify their bad behaviors

In fact that is all they do

Sure

I think that should be apart of the dialogue

And I think their focus falls neatly into the utilitarian category

It is something not said as much as it should be, because it can be used to fight back their ethical approaches to policy in a way that would ruin them, imo.

People usually back off when they are called racist or whatever, but instead if they explained their ethical approach and why it is wrong, I think it would be a lot more productive in shutting them down.

Or maybe not

xd

I kinda doubt it tbh. That's a little more charitable than I would be

The methodology is a little cult like in that it works to unperson critics and isolate adherents

So the Verge just wrote another propaganda filled hate piece against Pewdiepie.

basically all they can do, they can't build a computer to save their lives

Also I find the comments funny.

can you link?
