I agree and you shouldn't be downvoted.

The flip side is that if you're not consequentialist, consequentialists will label you a fool.

When I'm labeling myself, "fool" feels less punishing than "asshole", but I think when it's coming from others I'd rather look like an asshole than like a fool. I do wonder how much that is an influence on my consequentialist leanings.
