PSA: you're not a "moralist" annoying or otherwise for coming out in defense of a CEO whose entire networth is propped up by dead bodies. you're a fucking moron who fell for propaganda about what's "right and wrong". i hate this self-fellating bullshit. "i guess i'm just too moral, too good of a person, too emotionally intelligent. others don't like it". no you're a clown who has never asked a question in your life.
Strangely these moralists are nowhere to be found when innumerable masses are sentenced to die on the streets by an AI whose only goal is to increase profits. I guess that's just not icky enough to make them feel something. Just a state of nature, the cost of doing business.
That is what a moralist is, to be fair, although maybe that's not what their intended meaning was
what's your definition of a moralist comrade? mine is somebody who believes in morality above all else, even if it means they get the short end of the stick.
doming some health insurance CEO is the moral choice to make, even if most people are opposed to killing.
IE, defending the health insurance CEO becuase he was "murdered" doesn't make you a moralist, it makes you someone who doesn't know what morality is because, like i said in my first post, they've never asked a question in their life. moreover, 99% of these people defending the CEO in the face of public celebration are just trying to play devil's advocate. they don't actually give a shit. they haven't thought about any of this. they're just reacting and they know "murder bad"
It's a moralist in the colloquial, pejorative sense
KINGDOM OF CONSCIENCE
Moralists don't really have beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded. Centrism isn't change -- not even incremental change. It is control. Over yourself and the world. Exercise it. Look up at the sky, at the dark shapes of Coalition airships hanging there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth.
