    not doing the right thing because you’re afraid of the consequences is cowardice.

      Amazing. Every word of what you just said was wrong.

      I am a straight, cis, white male with a roof over my head, food in my refrigerator, and dogs I can afford to take to the vet. In your solipsistic worldview, there are hardly any consequences that I would have to face if Trump were elected. I’m choosing compassion.

      In your mind, what is even the point of your ethics if it isn’t rooted in caring for and about other people.

        that’s what it is for me, but, again, i’m a deontologist (i think. i have been leaning toward nihilsm lately but it would be swell to be pulled back from that).
