Full Idea
If much evil is due to nonautonomous actions, then liberals cannot be right in idenitfying the domain of moral responsibility with the domain of autonomy.
Gist of Idea
Much human evil is not autonomous, so moral responsibility need not be autonomous

A Reaction
One might evade this anti-liberal thought by making responsibility directly proportional to degree of autonomy. Then the only counterexample would be genuine immorality that is entirely non-autonomous, but is there such a thing?
