So, when at last the harm done is great enough and almost everyone suffers from the affect this will cause, will you still think your choices were ethical - or will you change your mind about that?
If the harm done is so great it will only be because so many unethical things added up.
So are you saying then, that you will no longer think that your choices were ethical?
I am saying that moral choices must be informed choices. We need to consider what is and what is not moral.
Those are two different things in relation to answering the question I asked you, based on your previous statements.
If you are
informed that using something causes harm, but you argue that you have
no option but to use that something, you have still been informed. You
know the consequences of using that thing will contribute to harm.
Yet you argue that this is still morally okay? Because you consider it to be morally okay?
So those who looked on and did nothing are the same as those who know they are contributing to the harm but feel they are forced by circumstance to participate.

It depends on whether they could have done something to prevent the violence.
Like what?
Are you saying that you cannot do anything to prevent your contributing to harming the planet, and so are not behaving unethically?
