  1. Failogy, only because you don't face any immediate threat to your own self interests or well being. It's how I can assure you a lot more people would be "unable to fight instinct" if their society allowed the immoral act and often condoned it and used it as a tool for social gathering, bla bla bla. So it's not as much that you can't fight instinct, but more like it's very convenient for you to not even bother, because pretty much everyone around you is on the same moral plane, and your society doesn't expect anything better from you. If a dog can avoid killing a cat, and if a cat can avoid killing birds and mice, and instead become bros with them, I am sure you have at least have the minimal capacity required to avoid putting certain things in your own mouth. The whole instinct excuse is so silly, it kind of deludes you away from your own reality and potentials ayyyyyyyy its a tricky poozle.

  2. Correction, it is EITHER good OR evil. There is no such thing as a decent bad man, or a foul decent man lel. The SUM OF ALL of an individual's actions become its morality, it either falls on good, or evil. Don't worry, pals, we're not the generation upon whom the duty lies to be fully moral, the best we can be expected, given our current biological state and surroundings, is to be as little evil as we can, while being as good as we can.

  3. ishmuria boom, you are edgy, but also wrong. According to your dumbass edgy quote, drawing a line on a piece of paper can be seen as evil. And cutting the head off a baby and then fucking its throat can be seen as Good. You can only make these baseless remarks because it isn't going to instantly change everyone into a moral relativist, otherwise your whole bubble of a world would pop instantly lol. Everything you own would be gone, because it is good according to someone else, and evil only to yourself. lololo edgyyyyy boi

  5. ExtantFrodo2, I don't think you got my angle; I am stating that you can not be a rapist who's also decent because he walks for women's rights marches lol. I simply gave two iterations, showing how two MUTUALLY INCOMPATIBLE moral states (moral and immoral) cannot exist within a single individual. Mental disorders are surely an exception, but that doesn't detract from the main point. Also, Hitler's price was forfeiting his 1 chance at existing, at ever existing, by being a fucking self important nazi and living a childish, unrealistic fantasy, only to lose it all and be turned into a joke for the remainder of time lolo. There is no hell, worse than existing in hell, is to not exist at all. Mmm tasty. Also, Gandhi wasn't good because he did good things, he was immoral simply because he did certain critically immoral things, like play a role in separating India into 2 parts. Despite all the good he did. Again, it's like how one might be a women's rights activist and pro life and all that, but also happens to be a rapist, it doesn't matter how much activism or any other moral thing that person does, they're still a fucking rapist if they don't stop that shit ayyyyy.
