And yet this issue was blown up all over international media, while thousands die of preventable disease and in conflicts with little to no interest.
The hypocrisy is worth noting.
What are you doing to help prevent those deaths? I'll be the first to admit I'm not doing enough, but I wouldn't use that in an argument.
I feel that you already have your mind set, so there is no debate. I appreciate your time given to comment, but this debate is going no where. But to throw one last word in, you really care a lot for someone without any fucks.
It's because I believe that "we" - culturally, socially - have limited fucks to allocate. Not just me personally. Calling this out as irrelevant encourages people to save their fucks for what matters.
