@orange.
Let's not pretend that we weren't talking genocide just a minute ago. Get your shit together. OFC moral utilitarianism allows for the taking of human life. That's a pretty standard feature of any practical moral system...don't you think? Otherwise we'd have to call every person who's ever defended themselves or another immoral. Does moral utilitarianism proscribe killing people "to maximize wellbeing", no. Mostly because killing those people isn't something that's going to "maximize their wellbeing"...as has been explained to you more than once. If you think that killing someone (or committing genocide, ffs) -will- maximize their wellbeing, or even the collective wellbeing, then by all means...make that case.
You're a bold faced liar, ofc, pretending that the nonsense you're peddling now has anything to do with the definition of moral utilitarianism, my comments...or even your own previous comments. This little exchange has damaged my opinion of you greatly. The things that's truly disappointing in all of this..is that it isn't as though there -aren't- legitimate criticisms of moral utilitarianism. It's not as if it's magically free of problems or edge cases.....but why talk about any of -that- when you can go from zero-to-batshit crazy directly, huh?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
