For example, a given white southern racist might love his wife and kids, not lie about major things, give to charity, be poite, and in general be NG. But, put a black guy in front of him, and suddenly its all "burn the nigger, purge the nigger, in white jesus's name, let none survive." So, is he EVIL the presence of black people, or is the alignment system inherently flawed.
It's flawed. it doesnt represent real-life morality. It's great for describing fictional characters, but morality does not work that way, because in real life, we have in-group loyalty, out-group hostility, institutionalized cruelty, xenophobia, racism, and other such issues. |
