This is unhinged Mr. Bulldog. You're just repaating the simplicity rule over and over again here in a bunch of random contexts. Yes, we get it, you have one extremely dumb and completely applicable rule, that doesn't mean that it's any better...
And besides, there isn't really any explanation here. You just say "it's ok to make kids do things when it increases utility". No fucking shit that's how it works under utilitarianism, but we both know that there are other ethical theories that can account for that, such as by simply stating that children lack the mental capacity to manage themselves, which means that they are absolutely prohibied from doing some things that adults can do.
The "War" is even dumber. You say that utilitarianism is good because it says war is justified when it increases utility. No fucking shit sherlock. This isn't "explanation", it's just repeating your rule again and again. All your other answers are just repeating utilitarianism - I.E. you say that intention doesn't matter because utilitarianism is true. Ok, but if the purpose of the post is to PROVE UTILITARIANISM you cannot be circular.
You also critizise "intention as being impossible to measure" - please tell me how to measure utility Mr. Bulldog.
Pollution - no idea why only utilitarianism proves an adeqquete account for this.
Political Authority - again, you just repeat that political authority is good when it increases utility. The specific "taxation is theft!!11!!" requires only ~7 braincells to defeat, not utilitarianism.
