By repeating the harms, . . . the common good delusion is normalized and the people become desensitized to harm and to Evil

Excellent discussion on the evil of the greater good idea.

 

What about this argument that  we have to lose our freedoms for the common good?  Individual and societal evils cannot justify the greater good.  They are fundamentally opposed ideas but individuals and people, even churches, can be diluted and scared and traumatized into believing that the harm they do is for the greater or the common good.

The Toronto Star employed Ernest Hemmingway when he went to Paris as the Toronto Star correspondent.  But now it has become a corrupt woke organization that carries headlines like

"Unvaccinated Patients Do Not Deserve ICU Beds." 

and

"I Have No Sympathy for the Willfully Unvaccinated.  Let Them Die."
