Yes, and when you see people excusing those actions even here on HN, that's exactly the mindset they have. Who is to say otherwise? There isn't some objective scale, it's all utilitarian.

That's a personal belief, not everyone sees the world this way. Some of us believe that some things are objective and deontological.

IMHO our move toward too much utilitarianism has created the corrupt conditions we are living in
