Idk, Ethan doesn't even pretend to feel bad about the whole genocide thing. There's absolutely no light in his eyes. He's opportunistically saying what he needs to.

Natalie, meanwhile, I think genuinely feels horror at the situation, and is so paralyzed by it, and her own stupid twitter addiction, that she's cajoled herself into a similar position.

It's like how you can solve a math problem in different ways. At the end of the day they both got to the same conclusion, so in that sense, we can just ¯_(ツ)_/¯ and declare them heinous dipshits. But at the same time, I do think it matters how people get there.
