Yeah, who cares about "trivialities" like "my ethical principles are inconsistent or absurd"?

Apparently, all the people who criticize the ethics of the police, the ethics of politicians, the ethics of racist economic policies, and so on. I mean, it's not like consistent ethical principles might go into devising something like a Constitution that recognizes people's natural rights and restricts government from infringing on those rights.

Amazing that you managed to turn this into a partisan attack on "your side" when all that's being discussed is the logical inconsistency of your own stated principles.



Again, if you think "black lives are more valuable than property" is absurd then you really need to think about what that says about you.


Fortunately, no one in this thread said that. Unfortunately, you did say in your very first post that you believed in an absurd ethical principle.
