minus-squareTTH4Plinkfedilink2•edit-21 month agoOk, let me engage you on this. If it’s a good deed performed with blood money, or with money earned on the backs of a genocide, or with money earned by ripping thousands of families off over and over for a long time, is it a good deed?
minus-square@OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink14•edit-21 month ago If it’s a good deed performed with blood money… In that question, you’ve proven my point. The deed is good even if the funds are not. The ends do not justify the means, but the means do not nullify the ends.
