Means, Ends, and post-moralists

A lot of people think that morals are simply crude approximations of the things that humans really value. I tend to agree. So let me ask post-moralists one question:

Do you believe the ends justify the means, or do you believe the means justify themselves?

If you believe the ends justify the means, then you have to support the government as it tries to:

Support peace through war.
Support freedom through imprisonment.
Support truth through lies.

But if you believe the means justify themselves, you'll:

Support peace by choosing not to be violent.
Support freedom by granting it to others.
Support truth by telling it.

And that'll make you an anarchist.
