There are a lot of people very ready and eager to defend actions that they find literally unspeakable.
These people cannot say the actions they are endorsing because these are thought experiments to them: Theoretical people with Theoretical suffering in a Theoretical paradigm.
None of the people suffering, being shot next to their baby who is left abandoned, those cowering and crying in bomb shelters, opening the door for who they think to be their protector only to be massacred, kidnapped women and children... They considser none of them real, which is why they can be so casually condemned to these unspeakable horrors.
Those so devoid of humanity deserve pity, but not given credence or further consideration.
Our time and energy is best spent on those who are not so ready to abandon their humanity.

Als Antwort auf Jeremy (יעקב) 🇺🇦 • • •As a follow-up, anybody who is talking about "winning" or "victory" or "success" here is making it clear that they consider this suffering, death, destruction, and pain to be merely a game.
A game where the point is to compare body counts, votes, public statements, money, children, and blood, where the only ones who matter are the people playing: those not suffering, those who don't have any personal stake, and afterwards can give the biggest press conference and have people say their names and talk of their attributes.
These should be regarded with nothing but contempt. This level of dehumanization, this delight in suffering is revolting from everybody taking part.
Let's pray for an end to suffering and pain, to fear and hatred, and for our leaders to have the wisdom to recognize those as the true blight we need to conquer.
