What do you think about the concept of lesser evil? (i.e. when faced with selecting from two immoral options, the less immoral one should be chosen.)

    So, you’re going to skip over the whole ‘worst thing happening’ part?

      No, but it’s not my fault.

      Why it have to be responsibility of the people who doesn’t want the “lesser evil”?

      Why is not responsibility of the people not wanting “the actual good thing”?

        “No, but it’s not my fault.”

        Sounds like what millions of Germans said after WW2.
