Which part is black/white thinking - the belief that values need to inform your actions?

  "why do you bother pretending to have values at all?" plus how does one go from "dont discuss politics at work" to "they have no values at all"?

    By performing work that contradicts their professed values? How is it fallacious to call values pretend if they don’t actually inform any decision made?

      they said they ll do business with customers that are incompatible with their values. That doesnt sound like an absolute amoral acceptance. its instead a statement that they won't be restricted to 100%-ethically-equivalent companies. You 're stretching the argument to absurd proportions

        The consequence of being guided by your values is that you intentionally forfeit opportunities to enable things that are contrary to your values. Even with the championing of today’s moral relativism, I struggle to understand how that is an ‘absurd’ result.
