What do you think about the concept of lesser evil? (i.e. when faced with selecting from two immoral options, the less immoral one should be chosen.) (thelemmy.club)

Of course you don't understand because I'm not using your approved lingo.

I had a good laugh watching you go from trying to use plain language, and then jumping to 'moral relativism.'

I'm sorry, did you need me to keep talking like you're five?

Laughing harder now.

You are unable to articulate your position without resorting to lingo, then try to cover up with a lame joke.

You've proven my point twice. First that 'the lesser evil' is a valid option and then when you showed you were dependent on lingo to make your points.

Let me know what part of that you fail to understand.
