Yeah but we as socialists aren't here for the best morals; if a troop wants to jump on a grenade and save ten people that's fantastic and should be celebrated: but my experience tells me that people like that may as well be science fiction.
no, i'm with you. i just disdain the language that gets used when talking about this topic. the idea that there's some cosmic scale you can balance with good deeds is total nonsense and should be treated as such, that's all.
speaking as someone who has done things that haunt me to this day (rightfully so), not as some moral paragon judging from on high
