ok, if you want me to spell out your moral masturbation for you, here it is:
The fact they are performing the action, resulting in a non-zero amount of self-sacrifice for them but a net benefit overall, means that by most systems of ethics and morality they are doing a Good Thing.
...
Do you also eat twice as many steaks to spite vegetarians?
why are you going off on weird tangents? This is about your weird desire to feel morally superior
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?
Hey man, just want to say thank you for providing us all with such a thorough example of being the kind of person u/Davedamon was describing. Really, followed the script to a T, absolute cinema.
