do you believe that the ends justify the means?

[mogger123]

I think I do

the main criticism of this thinking is that in practice the means dont result in the ends so it's just used as an excuse to do bad shit

but in theoretical terms i dont see a problem with it

They justify the end if the means aren't going to haunt what comes after. Lots of things eventually come to stab one in the back if the wrong stones were turned

this question is biased tbh as anyone who thinks in such a logical framework is gonna agree p much by default

anyone who disagrees would probably need a concrete example, and of course you could dismiss their opinion because it contradicts the l framework, of “objective logic”

the ends: heat death of the universe. so the ends is irrelevant. only means and principles matter. i'm not going to be cucking myself with activities i do not approve of if i can feel good about my actions in the present.

the ends is just bs justification normies use to act bad. but muh muh it's for a good cause. aka insert bullshit justification for their short term selfish motivations

Depends on the means and depends on the ends
