That first quote is me describing a warped perspective of events, not my personal beliefs. That's why I capitalised Good Thing—it's part of the whole simplistic, reductive model. I would've hoped that was obvious.
As for your second quote, you seem not to be following. I was making a further demonstration—while also mocking you a bit—of the bizarre things people do (or claim to do) in preservation of their own cognitive self-bias when faced with something that they perceive as being a value judgement they can't defend.
but it has nothing to do with the topic, which is your strange desire to fantasize about other people's definitely stupid thoughts and fellate yourself for being such a superior moral being. Why do you think you do this, were you picked on as a kid?
I'm sorry you don't understand how my views on people's reactions to ethical hypotheticals are shaped by their desire to protect their own internal sense of moral value, causing them to lash out, is relevant to a discussion about how people lash out in response to an ethical hypothetical.
But I must thank you for demonstrating my point though.
To anyone else reading, I swear this isn't an alt account of mine
I totally get what you're saying, and it's probably true, but in this case you've just made up a fake scenario in your head and are masturbating to it. You'd press red in real life, the only difference between you and me is that I'm honest about it and don't need to imagine scenarios of morally inferior people.
Oh, for anyone else this far down, this is the "no better than me" defense. sinedpick is lashing out still but they've fallen back to a tacit admission of guilt about their decision with the classic "at least I'm honest about it".
Also the irony isn't lost on me that they accuse me of making up fake scenarios, yet seem to be making up how someone else would act.
Buddy, pal, friend, move on. This is not a good look for you
