Yeah but you should know that Saber is somewhat out of character from how she was established in Fate/Stay Night. She is actually more similar to Kiritsugu if we look at her reign of Camelot. She too is a cold-blooded utilitarian when it came to her kingdom, as she employed scorched earth tactics against the enemy.
That might be why she was resisting Kiritsugu’s view so much though. Because she knew where that path led her to, so overly clinging onto her ideals in a false hope that things might work out better might’ve been her coping mechanism
Ideals are a star to follow when you are sailing the high seas. If you see a storm coming up ahead, it is wise to avoid it. And when you avoid it, you temporarily stop following your star. The hard part is to define when you should stop following your ideals.
I find the best hope for us as imperfect beings lie somewhere in the middle, which is where I'm at in my personally thinking. I often have a personal saying, "Ideal ends through pragmatic means." Which sounds paradoxical. It might even sound like another way of saying the ends justify the mean. Though I like to think it has a bit more nuanced and positive connotation. lol
In a world of ideals, Saber is correct but we live in reality so I'll go with Kiritsugu. I wish I could agree with Saber but this world is unforgivable and it will humble you. Nice analysis though 👌🏽

Facts. I think ideals in itself are a good thing but where do you draw the line with reality and how will that change your ideals is the big question

I think I get what you mean though. And I also believe that humans are paradoxical being to begin with so that fits us as well

Me personally. Would have to side with Kiritsugu.
