If a person is compelled, they are not making a choice against their desire or other self-interest and therefore there is no ethical dimension to the act.

- altairprime 5mo agoConsider that people often receive pleasure for, and a subset of those actively desire to be a member of a society; and that quite a lot of them desire to abrogate personal ethics in favor of societal ethics. I’m not one of them, so it’s really creepy to me, but unfortunately it’s still a thing. I imagine it doesn’t apply to you either? People usually aren’t capable of adopting the ethical model you describe because they are wired for societal joy and it feels wrong to oppose that so uncaringly.
