A cognitive bias where one automatically accepts or excuses problematic methods, processes, or actions because the stated goal is perceived as good, necessary, or noble—without adequately weighing the costs, consequences, or alternatives. Unlike the philosophical position that ends can sometimes justify means under careful consideration, this bias operates automatically and asymmetrically: good intentions become automatic warrants for otherwise unacceptable actions. It's the bias behind "we had to destroy the village to save it," "surveillance is justified because it keeps us safe," and "yes, CECOT is harsh, but it's fighting gangs." The bias lies in treating ends as automatic justifications rather than as one factor requiring careful balancing with means, consequences, and alternatives.
The End Justifies the Means Bias Example: "He supported the prison's brutality because it was 'fighting crime'—pure End Justifies the Means Bias, treating a good intention as automatic warrant for any method, without ever weighing whether the methods actually worked or what they cost."

Is that what I meant when I said it

Because you're repeating the thing I said.
Hym "Is that what I meant when I said it? So, either you're illiterate or you know you're being a piece of shit and you think I'm not going to do anything about. Ok. The ONLY... Thing I am going to do in life... Is something about that thing you did just there. I refuse to do anything other than that."
