Really depends on the circumstance.

Lying is really strongly against my moral character so I’m not going to do it by default.

I would end up lying if I thought something unjust was going on, like if der fuhrer Trudeau’s gestapo were trying to hunt down someone for wrongthink.

I look at situations like the father in The Rittenhouse trial who sat there talking about his dead son who chased down a young boy in the streets hoping to kill him and kept on making excuses, and I’m like “that attitude killed your boy.” It wasn’t the first time he made excuses like that, but it will be the last because reality doesn’t care what excuses you make.
