    See, I can’t agree with anything you say if you believe ends justify all means. It’s pure Utopianism, and therefore can’t be considered meaningful.

      I guess I’m not following your thesis then. Can you say, simply, what you believe ethics are. And why democracies are inherently more ethical

          What about something like the Salem witch trials.

          Everyone agreed they were witches.

          There is no such thing as a witch

            Democratic actions aren’t ethical by themselves. If the Salem witch trials were dictatorlially held by 1 dude, is your argument that it is somehow more ethical?

            An action must be democratically accountable and ethical, you need both to actually be ethical.

            Are you legitimately anti-democracy?
