@3RU7AL
what factors do you believe are worth considering when the survival of two humans and or two groups of humans become mutually exclusive ?
I have no one else's self interest to use as a measure. This limits my potential answer to the those humans that I have the most vested interest in.

@TheMorningsStar
Morality is subjective
That is quite the claim, especially given that it is well understood within the field of metaethics that moral realism is the default position (even anti-realists acknowledge this, see Dr. John Mackie).
what's the difference between a "freedom-fighter" and a "terrorist" ?

do you generally condemn others for making decisions that are in their perceived self-interest ?

I do have a negative knee jerk reaction to percieved "selfishness" but this is not a rational response it is an emotional reaction.
