"The Greater Good"
"We did what needed to be done even if it was bad!"
Very cliche fascist reasoning.
I remember thinking the fascist definition of "strength" was the willingness to abdicate morals in order to get things done (in reality, get free real estate). It shows up a lot in unironic 40k imperium fans.
Yes. One of the things common to fascists is knowing full well that what they're doing is evil but that it is simply something that "must be done" for the good of many. This is nonsense of course but is a justification used to cast themselves as the misunderstood good guys.
"Where would you be without me? You NEED me to do what you can't do" sort of thing.
And of course "the needs of the many" isn't about humanity writ large but about their preferred nation/ethnicity (or, if they're particularly naked about it, a specific state)
Greater Good/Common Good is usually evul tankie coding in mass media.
