    Well, my understanding on the OPs text is that the means necessarily shape the ends, but instead of a sociological interpretation, it is an equally valid neurological one.

    And this is in turn the exact same argument as that the ends should never justify the means, because if you use the wrong means you will never reach the ends you want.

      The OP states it is justified to use violence against the right people to achieve your ends.

      “The ends never justify the means.” is a statement that violence is never the right answer.
