Quote:

Justifying a "wrong" by pointing to another "wrong" is never a strong argument.


The "two wrongs don't make a right" argument is a two-way street.

It can be used to undermine the support for your position as effectively as it undermines the position of those you disagree with.

You also have to be careful when fighting for something you believe in, that your methods and tactics do not end up causing you [in others eyes] to become indistinguishable from your opponents. So that even if you "win", you will have lost more than you will have gained.

Lastly, this work points out ever so subtly, that those who "fail to learn from history" are, as predicted, "doomed to repeat it".
