That’s basically the issue. Any time something is carried out by a large group of people, you can pretty much assume they think they’re doing the right thing, or a good thing, or a just thing. Not one person would dispute that point, so bringing it up in conversation just seems so spectacularly stupid that it’s hard to comprehend why one would even need to mention it at all.
I’m honestly surprised there was even one poster who didn’t understand that and tried to do some moral posturing about “truth” instead. Seems “we” have given up basic common sense in favour of taking every opportunity to make everything fit our silly little narratives. Exhausting, honestly.
