A strange apologetic paradox
#2
RE: A strange apologetic paradox
It's just rationalisation to resolve cognitive dissonance; they're trying to provide a context in which the action is okay. To this, I've always given the response: "So you think there's a context in which <insert moral reprehensibility/factual error> is okay/true? That speaks more to your values than anything else."
Sum ergo sum
