Is it morally justifiable (fuck off stirnerfags) to lie in order to protect lives?
Does this hold for all cases?
Consider this hypothetical situation:
>Undeniable evidence that the holocaust was faked comes into your possession
>You also have the means to disseminate it
>You know that doing so would lead to reprisals against the jews
Do you think it would be right to suppress this information in order to save their lives, even knowing that they would continue to exploit this falsehood?
Please keep all /pol/ and reddit posts out.

No, death is also the truth so let it happen.

From utilitaristic perspective lie would be the best, assuming the reprisals would be magnitudes above the exploitaition. But imo, lies don´t survive for long nad neither would the "jews" deserve that my tongue should lie for them.
P.S. when writitng hypotheticals use abstracts, do not wave red flags for shitposters to come in

Truth. Truth is the highest form of morality. It may not be convenient, but if there is anything called "right" or "just" in the Universe, it is grounded in what the truth is and how many people know and accept that.

I thought a commonly """discussed""" topic would provoke more interest desu

we all lie all the time, so the truth is a very bleak concept, the truth is different for everyone
