Okay so a politician who orders the state to go hunt down your family is in the clear, the guy who drives the secret police to your house is in the clear, but the guys who actually place hands on your children are fully culpable.

Am I understanding correctly?

[lyle5219]

yes you are understanding correctly? what's so hard about understanding that?? By your logic the SS did nothing wrong because they were following orders? Does this work for positives too like if a doctor saves someones life they didn't actually do anything good at all it was their boss who hired them? Everyone is accountable for their own actions. If you can be convinced to do something evil by someone else that's your own problem.

Lmao

You: "Giving orders to do evil is morally fine"

Me: "No I don't think so"

You: "Oh okay, so acting on orders to do evil is morally fine?!"

Uhh, nope.

What a topsy-turvy moral world you've built for yourself. Such is the challenge of an unprincipled man.

Ah, so Hitler did nothing wrong. Peak HN here, ladies and gentlemen.
