    Hierarchy without democratic consent and exploitation are both unethical. Simple as.

      What about something like the Salem witch trials.

      Everyone agreed they were witches.

      There is no such thing as a witch

        Democratic actions aren’t ethical by themselves. If the Salem witch trials were dictatorlially held by 1 dude, is your argument that it is somehow more ethical?

        An action must be democratically accountable and ethical, you need both to actually be ethical.

        Are you legitimately anti-democracy?
