   @eliotlear @ravelin "The ends justify the means" is not what's going on here. That's what you might say if you were selling out one victim of fascism to save many others.

   Rather, lying, sabotage, etc. are not unethical to begin with when used against evil. Punching or even killing a nazi is not unethical.

     @ravelin I interpret that as the ends justify the means. But perhaps they do, sometimes?
