I think slippery-slope-type arguments are they, themselves a slippery slope. What if nobody ever again acts on their moral courage because they’re afraid of hypothetical bad actors abusing that precedent? Oh My! [clutches pearls] Not everything is relative, you’re not smart or ethical because you can make up hypotheticals to oppose any action. You’re just a nihilist with no grounding in reality and no value system. It’s ok to say something is bad, and then act against that bad thing. /rant Edit: and when you do fall into that relativist trap, the bad guys win because they don’t care about any of it. They don’t worry about slippery slopes, or unintended consequences. Overthinking and other various mental masturbation by good people let’s bad people win.
