Quote by George Orwell

There is no crime, absolutely none, that cannot be condoned when 'our' side commits it.

There is no crime, absolutely none, that cannot be condoned

Summary

This quote emphasizes the unsettling thought that people often justify or overlook wrongdoing when it is committed by individuals or groups they identify with or support. It suggests that loyalty, bias, or partisanship can blind individuals to the moral and ethical implications of certain acts. By proclaiming the absence of any crime that cannot be justified, the quote challenges the notion of absolute morality and highlights how subjective perspectives can influence the way we perceive and rationalize behavior.
