If you think "the ethical thing" is to undermine governments which don't conform to our values... do you vote for the most hawkish candidate in every election?

If you think "the ethical thing" is to undermine governments which don't conform to our values... do you vote for the most hawkish candidate in every election? Are you joined up with the armed forces? Why not? America could bring the whole world to heel on "freedom & democracy," and yet even people who think of themselves as righteous, don't want to. Why?
Could it be that cost is actually a good argument?
Could it be that trying to impose your own system of morality on the whole world is not actually a moral act?
- Bakary 6y ago>America could bring the whole world to heel on "freedom & democracy" Nuclear weapons may have something to say about that...
- closeparen 6y agoWhich is why letting a country develop nuclear weapons is a serious thing. It’s assenting to everything they might want to do, forever.
- ClumsyPilot 6y ago"trying to impose your own system of morality on the whole world" You are comically missing the point. Microsoft does not get asked to take down software from windows. Apple and Google shouldnt have the ability to apply unilateral censorship.
