My intention wasn’t to call you an idiot (which me misusing that Latin phrase would make ME the idiot lol), it was to point out the “If I don’t do it someone else will” moral justification / fallacy that a lot of people, such as drug dealers for example, use to skirt the moral responsibility of their actions.
Argumentum ad pessimism, actually
Can you explain what that means, and what the other guy said please?
He called me an idiot. I said no, I’m a pessimist
