The #ToryParty has fully internalised the concept of:
"By whatever means necessary."
That's what:
1. Makes it, to date, the most successful political party IN THE WORLD;
2. Makes it so incredibly dangerous, as it's prepared to lie & decieve to win.
Bevan knew (pic).
IMO, There's only one way consistently to counteract/defeat that:
Swallow hard and do the same...by any means necessary.
(#Moral_High_Grounds haven't worked. Ever.)
@fencoul Become a nazi to stop the nazis?
Not so sure about that.
👆 That's precisely *not* what I said. Ensuring that good has as big a stick as bad does not make good into bad any more than it makes bad into good.
@fencoul I agree, in fact I think good needs a considerably larger stick than bad.
But I will never agree that the means justifies the end, because the words "final solution" come to mind...
We have to find means that do not degrade us.
👆 #HumanNature is a horribly broken & dysfunctional thing and we're just gonna have to get used to that; railing against its brokenness gets us nowhere: sadly, we are what we are*.
