It’s like the old saying goes, you can lead a horse to water but you can’t explain empathy and compassion to him on the Internet.
If billionaires firing average citizens and restricting our benefits/rights to enrich themselves isn’t evil? What is?
If cutting cancer research for cancer patients while pretending to care about a single cancer survivor isn’t evil? What is?
If illegally detaining and deporting US citizens and immigrants without due process and ignoring the rule of law so they can be tortured? What is?
If MILLIONS of people around the globe dying of disease to give the richest man in the world a tax break isn’t evil? What is?
If you actively are the richest man in the world and you wake up every day with enough money to end childhood poverty, diseases, and illness and you actively choose not to? If that isn’t evil, what is?
Curious to see what your definition of evil is, and how quickly you will move the goal post when we get there?
Make it make sense to me, take all the time you need.
What are you talking about? This is a post about the homeless littering the streets, not any of the bullshit you espouse here. And I’m not arguing for any of the shit you listed either. So your entire argument is a strawman, full stop.
I don’t gotta take ANY time because you’re all off in left field talking about something else OTHER than the conversation we’re having ENTIRELY.
You’ve lost sight of what this conversation was about, and have gone off on some wild-ass rant about all the other things you’re mad about. Maybe go back about 4-6 posts and RE-READ, with an attention to understanding what we’re talking about instead of reading with the intention of rebuttal and then rejoin the conversation. I get that you’re mad about what’s happening to the world right now, we all are. We don’t need to be giving “homeless” (read: Drug Addicts, Severely Mentally ill, People who are mal-adapted to society) housing. We need to be getting them medical care, locking them up in asylums to keep them out of the general population without treating them like criminals (though many of them are), and getting them psychological help.
You’ve all missed the forest for the trees here, and it’s sad because you only argue it because Musk said something and you HAVE to disagree with it. Doesn’t matter what it is, you MUST, because instead of looking at what he’s saying, all you care about is making sure that you disagree with him. You can disagree with him as a person, and he can still be right occasionally (a broken clock is right twice a day). In this case, he’s right. But your solution (giving them housing) is short-sighted, immature, naive and has had no long-term thought put into it at all.
Go live in a place with a homeless population. Go try and help them. Many aren’t capable of being helped. And the only people who think like you do, are people who haven’t experienced it.
This phrase relates to the active resistance of people doing evil things. Holy crap you can’t even get your retort to make any sense.
