  • In their moral justification, the argument of the lesser evil has played a prominent role. If you are confronted with two evils, the argument runs, it is your duty to opt for the lesser one, whereas it is irresponsible to refuse to choose altogether. Its weakness has always been that those who choose the lesser evil forget quickly that they chose evil.

  • I’ll take the bait. Stalin was a great leader. His firm grasp of Marxist economic theory and dialectical materialism helped him turn a backwards agrarian post-tsar Russia into a space-faring economic powerhouse in only a few decades, which is not an easy feat even if you aren’t fighting for survival in a world war where fascists are kicking down your door and trying to eradicate you.

    Putin is a piece of shit vulture squatting on the corpse of a once great nation, and I hope he fucking dies. Though I will say, his recent visits to the DPRK and Viet Nam were great and I hope he follows through on his promises of cooperation, it would be an immense economic boon to the Korean people. Hopefully someday we see a reunified, prosperous Korean peninsula. Very much a “broken clock” situation, imo.
