    Paradoxically, nothing legitimises the unethical treatment of others more than the belief that you are more ethical than them. Every dictatorship on earth began as a campaign for justice. Excessive morality might just be as destructive to civilisations as excessive immorality.

        I think the point you want to make is that hubris, the idea that you are untouchable and above "mere mortals", whether because of wealth, power, intellectual prowess, ideological or religious fervour, leads to mistreatment of others. Humbleness is under appreciated today.

        Sometimes I teach ethics students to strategize like pacifists as a heuristic device. Whether they are pacifists or not, they should run a procedural check on coercive prescriptivism and instead force themselves to think of every other way to promulgate a righteous cause.

        Pacifists like who? Pacifists like MLK & Gandhi were coercively prescriptive but morally right, no? Most ideologies don’t force with the sword but are still coercive for far more dubious moral visions. So I’m unclear how pacifism is the circuit breaker on this issue. 🤷‍♀️👍🏽

        This is a developmentally underinformed view. This is only true for the 50% of adults who dont have a principled cognitive-emotional embodiment of universalized ethics, at which threshold they can see their own ethical reasoning as an object of critical inquiry.

        Indeed. Social constructs. Now we have the problem of redefining what we mean by morality and immorality, if we could kick these constructs from under our legs. Who can do the kicking though?
