    Here! I’m here! Doing good things gets you praise, doing bad things gets you boos.

    If a doctor operates on someone and saves their life: yay! Good job doctor! If the same doctor then prescribes opioids to drug dealers: boo, no! Bad doctor!

    Maybe you missed this class in kindergarten, but the morality of an action is not determined by its actor, but is inherent to the action.

      If trump or netanyahu tomorrow decide to leave gaza do you praise them for doing the good thing even after they murdered thousand of children?

      Praising hitler for the good things he did was literally the nazi proganda, it worked as a cover up for all the bad things and persuaded people to believe that he was good.
