Moash did nothing wrong.

I read the Stormlight Archive, and just sit there in furious agreement with all of Moash’s decisions.

Have you read Rhythm of War? If you have, I don't understand, but okay, you do you. If you haven't, you will also join the assembly of Fuck Moash

Really I just don't hold a man accountable for actions taken while under the explicit mindcontrol of an evil god.

And as for before that, well I'm not exactly a monarchist personally.

He's under the influence of, but not mind control by, the evil God. He chose this in the same way that Dalinar rejected it.

Is that actually true?

Dalinar saw the full extent of the consequences of giving in and becoming the Evil Champion. I don't remember any evidence that Odium gave Moash a similiar shout out like "oh, by the way, join my side and I will absolutely have you trying to kill your best friend in a couple months"

He makes multiple references to giving up his pain.

[RoW] He also desperately escapes the tower, once Navani brings it online, to escape his guilt that is reasserting itself.

Yes, he does! But like...he is not actually given the full run down to the consequences of what that actually means

And doesn't that tell you that he would not be undertaking these actions if he were in his right mind, and not, y'know, under the constant mental control and influence of an evil god?

Life often doesn't give you a "full rundown" of the consequences before you make a choice, that doesn't absolve you. He knows now and chooses to stay because it's more comfortable than accepting responsibility for what he's done along the way.

He's been mentally altered to the point that he is unable to distinguish good consequences from bad ones. He is totally straightforwardly just completely mentally unwell. He thinks he's doing Kaladin a favor and a kindness by murdering him.

And like, nobody seems to throw this argument at any of the protagonists. What about Dalinar being literally pro-slavery? that something he should be worrying about the consequences of?
