21 days agoI’m mostly ambivalent to it, but I remember in a political philosophy class I took back in college, we went over what utilitarians said about US democracy, and it was funny as fuck to see all these jackasses shift from “yes, consequentialism is where it’s at, the outcome determines the moral worth of an action!” to “… uh, actually it’s the process that really makes a government democratic…”
When liberals pull a “what about Trump?” accuse them of “whataboutism.” Will it accomplish anything? No, but it will be funny and annoying.
