Most humans cannot enjoy food if they were watching someone starving to death in front of them, let alone knowing that person is dying and they could feed them to save their lives.

Yeah, same for me. But that’s NOT what’s happening, and you’ve let your hyper-altruism cloud your judgement. Nothing I do changes anything that happens over there. So why worry about it? Why upend MY life, and put MY life in danger for it? Normal people don’t do that. You’re a bleeding heart - most people don’t care. That’s just normal humanity.

And again - with the rape argument…what in living fuck? You think I consider myself responsible for what my government does? HELL fuck no I don’t. You have absolutely no effect on their decisions, so why do you think you do? You’ve used Hyperbole to make your argument seem stronger than it is.

It’s simple. Americans have a good life. There’s no reason for them to leave their good life, to go fight for a people who have nothing to do with them.

Again - bleeding heart. You’re so concerned about shit that has nothing to do with your day-to-day life. Shit is far too stressful for me to deal with, I’m busy enough trying to keep my head above water for some middle class gated community bleeding heart to tell me I should feel bad for something I – Have no part of, Have no effect on, cannot change, and that doesn’t affect my life whatsoever.

I find no enjoyment in hurting other people - which is why it doesn’t bother me; Because I’m not doing it! Humanity are a bunch of violent apes, and there is not enough time in anybodies singular life to concern themselves with every fucking atrocity being committed. I’ll be more concerned with helping the homeless in my own country, than shit going on half way across the world because a country allowed a terrorist organization to run rampant.

Maybe Hamas shouldn’t have attacked Israel? – why aren’t you talking about THOSE lives lost? Why aren’t you concerned with the lives THEY have taken? Probably because you’ve been taken by Iran’s online psyop.

you addressed so many points, but I think you may be tired of me. I understand you better now, but still disagree with you. In 1st paragraph you claim to be helpless against your gov actions which is 90% true, but the remaining 10% is more powerful than you think, your consumerism and how you spend your money, your vote, your communication to your repreentative senetor, your voice and condemnation matter so so matter and the whole world is watching. I’m 900% sure of thay (too many current examples and historic events all involve protests and the opinions of public).

2nd you forget that the elites are sleeping on yachets above you while you’re busy trying to keep your head above water. they use your money, and your vote and legitmacy. and yes it affects you. the US has 2+ trillions budget for military but no healthcare speak for where your money goes while your keep head above water. They in fact rely on ignorants like you to keep this going.

3rd why the US life is good so why care not my fault: Again, I replied to all that in my previous comment. You dont even know why the US is rich and what nations are hurt by by their military involvements and relations.

4th paragraph “I dont enjoy hurting people but also dont care when I see them hurt.” is the selfish disgusting response I replied to in my first comment. you’re so weak you can even let your brain imagine being in their shoes and just ignorantly enjoying yours.

5th why Hamas did Oct-7? Google 1948 nakbah, and keep going from there until present day. And to understand Oct-7 by itself, Google Nat Turner slave revolt.

6th Iran kill their protestors. how tf can I stand a regieme that do that? I would also support china for their tian sequare and oppression, and support middle east dictatorships, and Israel as well with that logic

“I dont enjoy hurting people but also dont care when I see them hurt.”

Again – Not what I said. Re-read it. Stop putting words in my mouth.

You clearly suffer from pathological altruism.

You also are suffering from the dunning-kruger effect when it comes to the belief on how much effect you have on things by shouting words on the internet.

Bro, that is what you fucking said word for word:

“I find no enjoyment in hurting other people - which is why it doesn’t bother me; Because I’m not doing it!”

Which is the fucking same as “I don’t enjoy hurting people but also don’t care when I see them hurt”

Did you read what you said? It’s so bad I expose how awful and diagusting it is by just repeating it to you. You’re so oblivious to the hypocracy of what you stand for. Go ahead, read it again and live with it.

  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
