  Now hold up. We’ll start having too much fun with relativism if you keep talking like that.

  But even being a relativist, I find being a utilitarian is really helpful for actually interacting with the world. It’s just that whatever formula you use will always be shit from the perspective of another totally legit value system.

  All that to say: Yeah I agree, doesn’t matter if he thought he was Jesus. He was causing real harm to people.

    He took money to harm others. There are few more evil positions.

  I’m not saying it’s right, I’m saying the version of the story they tell themselves isn’t the same version others have.
