Also btw gutting access to healthcare will kill far more people than a hundred flashy bombs going off, that doesn't stimulate the toddler-like fear centers in your brain though because you are incapable of foresight. 50,000 people a year, you dumb fucks, which is also about as many people who die because baby boomers decide not to get flu vaccines before they hold babies and visit nursing homes

In the Star Trek universe, Vulcans are seen to have a consistent ethical system involving satisfying the preferences of the greatest number of people, even if it means sacrificing the interests of a fewer number of people. This perspective is most similar to the human utilitarian ethical system.[15] In Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Spock sacrifices himself to save the lives of those on the Enterprise, stating that "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one." In Star Trek Into Darkness (2013), Spock uses the same logic to justify his attempt to sacrifice himself. In the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "The Galileo Seven", Spock states that "it is more rational to sacrifice one life than six." In Star Trek: Enterprise, T'Pol states that "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" is a Vulcan axiom.[16]

that's exactly what I said but everyone was like ??? you monster don't you care about these 22 people?

it's p lol. if we diverted even a portion of our defense spending into just making sure locals got the food and healthcare they needed we could save so many lives but I guess it's not worth it unless it also involves bombing other places.

Liberal ideology has zero internal consistency and is barely pretending otherwise. It's just "our tribe versus your tribe." They don't actually give a poo poo about racism as a moral principle, they're just trying to root out Team Red versus Team Blue.

Same as when the right decides "states' rights" are sacrosanct in one issue, then suddenly irrelevant in another.

you're so stupid lol. different groups of people care about different things. and guess what? poverty and healthcare are completely irrelevant to rich people. rich people decide government policy.

they won't give a poo poo if a billion poors die to preventable diseases and hunger since it will never affect them ever, in any way. whereas their idiot daughter being exploded at a concert has a 0.0000000001% chance of happening but that chance is still infinitely more likely than losing healthcare lmao.

it's completely logical.

Yikes. No, rich people don't control every part of policy. The AHCA passed congress because a conservative majority was voted in, by americans. If we had voted in democrats (corrupt as they may be), we wouldn't be facing a rollback in quality of care that will lead to quantitatively more suffering if it passes the Senate.

As strange as it may seem, your choices do matter and they have very real repercussions for people who depend on things like affordable healthcare to survive.

And who do think I'm talking about? The conversations about what puts Americans (or Europeans) at risk isn't exclusive to the rich. Like what the honest gently caress are you even talking about
