dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

tbf, the final two sentences are actually kind of good, but it's just funny to do this when the question is about 8 billion people, like bro, "living continuity of a revolutionary program"? humanity's literally all dead, Trotsky's the last guy left!

also why the hell is the WSWS launching an AI chatbot?!

We are literally in the middle of a terminology identification crisis in ethics, with both deontology and utilitarianism being identified as 'maxim driven ethical frameworks', with utilitarianism just becoming a subsection of deontology, wherein the ethical maxim focuses on the result, but is still technically a deontological formulation. And these kinds of ideas are being sectioned off from behavioral ethics, which is the study of how humans actually make ethical decisions, which itself posits that ethical frameworks don't actually exist as a way to make decisions, but instead are a way to justify decisions that have been made. Meaning that we are all, for the most part, just post-hoc deontologists.

And this is just general ethics, not even specifically about the morality of specific actions.
