- menato 12y agoThis statement makes sense for some specific ethic systems. For instance, in almost all modern states there are ideas, which are shared by some majorities and considered unethical in Christian ethic system. But bad_user seems to imply ethic system which is based on the aggregate citizens vision. With such ethic system opinions of majorities are ethical by tautology.
