I can see why someone would say that basing your ethics and politics on local tradition rather than, for exemple, utilitarism, is pointless and shouldn’t even be considered.

In practice nobody truly follows their theorical ethical stance. Conservative* politicians usually take a vague inspiration from conservatism, and base most of their decisions on whatever will get them in power. That usually means opposition when they’re not up there, and holding the most popular opinions regardless of whether they match their ideology.

The ethics-practice gap is especially large for politicians, that sometimes don’t even believe the opinions that they are supporting. But as a general statement, humans are so bad at having coherent opinions that they can not be dismissed for having an incorrect ethical basis. Or fully trusted for having a correct one

*Also applies to other ideologies

Things being worst somewhere else doesn’t make the local situation better. This is like the whole “eat your broccoli there’s starving children somewhere”, people keep trying it but it won’t ever convince a kid

It will be unlabeled and reduced in quantity, as LLM users will feel unwelcome and there is not much point in contributing to a project that doesn’t want you. You don’t always need your policy to be perfect, you just need it to make things better than before

70k euros a month is insane

You’re not an instance though

This sounds like there is a total of 3 people involved, and 3 of them are ok with the situation. I don’t see how this could be bad, unless you worry about Jesus’ consent

Of course things can always go bad, but I would really doubt that breaking up with any of them preemptively will make things better when bs inevitably happens
