this is a rubbish system because it is incapable of really rewarding those who follow it, instead in practice it rewards those who are most successful in cynically pretending in championing it while ruthlessly ignoring it.
In effect the system outlined is one of foxes guarding the hens that particularly rewards the fox that succeeds in killing the other foxes so it can devote more of the hens itself, set up under the pretense of being for the benefit of the hens.
You are not even trying to take part in a honest conversation.
When repeatedly asked (and then, after giving no intelligible answers) told what is the right thing to do, you evade by "thats the way it is". You are, pretty much on purpose, mixing up the "is" and "ought". Then, like in this answer above, accusing everybody, but of course Putin, for how the "is" is. Your dishonesty is blatantly obvious.
Is can at least be in principle by objective, Ought can ever be more than subjective at best and worse then worthless when impracticable or manifestly self defeating in practice. Your ought is not someone else’s ought. Ought does not excuse, change or mitigate the material consequence of its pursuit.
