Advocates for #utilitarianism justify ANY atrocity given an arbitrary justification.

#Deontology is how society should be structure; not because of a moral imperative, but because of the argument of societal efficiency.

Psssst. #Kant did not really prove #deontology. He only proved a version of rule #utilitarianism, and then he smudged the edges a little to make it compatible with mysticism.

Rule utilitarianism differs from act utilitarianism based on the fact that it doesn't measure the utility of an act. It measures the utility of a rule that you make that a group of people are expected to follow.

It's an effective system because it rewards rule-followers, who tend to have sound moral judgment.
