      Most of humanity has a thing called ‘empathy,’ wherein they care about others dying.

      Also, I’m not ‘letting a warmonger do whatever he wants.’ I have no power to do anything about any warmongers and I doubt you do either, which is why you’re complaining about it on Lemmy rather than acting. So maybe don’t point fingers.

      Also, I’m quite familiar with the paradox of tolerance, and that has absolutely nothing to do with people other than you caring about a war even if you say they don’t. I care.

          Oh i do care about people dieing,

          You literally said that nobody gives a fuck, make up your mind.

          Empathy is a thing that isn’t really provable, you might feel bad when you kill a innocent, bit when someone charges you with a knife and you can shot him, you still do.

          That’s literally what empathy is. Innocence has nothing to do with it.

                  I wasn’t trying to speak for anyone but myself, so that is a ludicrous accusation, and “nobody” does not mean “the majority.” If you meant “the majority,” you should have said so. It would not have taken you significantly longer to type, so I don’t believe your silly excuse.

                  Also-

                  The majority of humans don’t give a single shit.

                  Let’s see your evidence. Polling numbers will work with a decent sample size. You have them, right? You wouldn’t just be speaking on all of those people’s behalves without knowing what they actually think, would you?

      In one form or another, this is basically the rationalization that warmongers always use to justify their own awfulness. As an American, I’ve been listening to my own country deploy this gem my entire life.
