@jens@social.finkhaeuser.de @ZDL@mstdn.social though inflexibility on morals can be combined with flexibility on methods (that align with those morals) within a single person.
and i strongly suspect that flexibility on methods is the one that matters for affecting change on reality.

@tryst@fedi.imu.li @ZDL@mstdn.social Like I wrote, that works up to a point.

@tryst@fedi.imu.li @jens@social.finkhaeuser.de Yes. You can be inflexible on morals while being flexible on technique to accomplish the moral goals. Most people who claim to have inflexible morals are really saying they lack the ability to conceive of other ways to accomplish their ends.
