Are there limits to this, or do you think ”not taking sides” is a morally defensible position to have regarding everything? Is it ethical to be neutral when it comes to the holocaust?
- mwcampbell 5y agoI think it's OK to refrain from taking sides about anything that we don't have firsthand knowledge about. There's no shortage of political and moral busybodies in the world, especially now that we have the Internet. I'm sure I've been one at times. So I think it's not so bad if we start going in the other direction, just minding our own business and sticking to things we can actually do something about. I should get back to that.
- Turing_Machine 5y agoIt's perfectly ethical to not be loudly and publicly performing an anti-holocaust view 24/7/365, and failing to do that does not make one "pro-holocaust". The list of Bad Things is endless, and failing to address any one of them does not make you in favor of that Bad Thing. It just doesn't. You're just trying to bully people into spending their time amplifying your particular protest, and bullying in itself is a Bad Thing.
