consequentialist and utilitarians do not have virtues. they have a calculus of world state and whether one world state is better than another.

in increasing degrees of brainrot extremism, they do not consider "people i don't like" to be "people," so that calculus assigns suffering to negligible. it is only evil if the world state score decreases and i can just classify people i don't like as furniture.

which, is what historical communist extremists have done (lenin, stalin.)

well, that's who runs things now (cf. nixos, python, opensuse, opendesktop, fedora)
