stating that the ends justify the means isn’t advocating for the killing of civilians (even if I wouldn’t personally use that phrase); I don’t know what the post was referring to, but if it was about the war in Ukraine, my guess would be that it was acknowledging that civilian deaths (on one side or the other) are unavoidable and that the alternative – e.g. doing nothing to stop the slaughter of civilians in the Donbas and ignoring the threat of a US proxy on its border – would be worse
Even if you’re not making shit up, if this is yet another tiresome “and therefore both/all sides are equally right and wrong,” you’re just another right wing coward trying to dodge the label.
It has been a few weeks, but I did see a post clearly stating that the ends do justify the means
