    I guess I’m not following your thesis then. Can you say, simply, what you believe ethics are. And why democracies are inherently more ethical

      Hierarchy without democratic consent and exploitation are both unethical. Simple as.

        What about something like the Salem witch trials.

        Everyone agreed they were witches.

        There is no such thing as a witch

          Democratic actions aren’t ethical by themselves. If the Salem witch trials were dictatorlially held by 1 dude, is your argument that it is somehow more ethical?

          An action must be democratically accountable and ethical, you need both to actually be ethical.

          Are you legitimately anti-democracy?
