You will do the most unforgivable things when you convince yourself “the ends justify the means.”
And then believe yourself to be above judgement or retribution. It’s a joke.

Seems to be the tactic of the winning side. Hard to argue with results. I guess it only depends on how long the masses will be oppress willingly.

The key word being unforgivable - it renders the statement moot.
If I were to lie to the Gestapo in order to save lives then that would be acceptable.

That's why you have to ask yourself whether the solution is actually objectively better than the problem before you begin. If you're doing more harm than good, stop.

@Castenmas That's true. It's also true that nobody can really foresee 100% of the consequences of their actions, but you have to do something.
