  • What are you talking about? Present a valid argument and you may change my mind.

    I responded with hyperbole to your hyperbole about doctors being forced to treat patients that had raped and murdered their family.

    What? Your hyperbole was assuming doctors would be judging whether each patient should be treated. You made that comment before I commented about doctors treating patients who kill and rape their family.

    Might want to brush up on your reading comprehension, lol.

  • I think the EU would change its rules to appease its citizens who are addicted to X.

    Same reason why the US would never ban tiktok. There would be an uproar of average people who don't pay attention to these things wondering where their fix went.

  • That’s also an incredibly unlikely scenario that I would wager no human being has ever actually faced.

    That's because I'm not advocating for your hyperbole, that doctors should judge whether each patient should be treated.

    By your logic

    Not really. That's your own hyperbole.

  • Yeah, but doctors are people too and I don't think they have a moral obligation to treat people who kill and rape their family.

    It's part of me not being autistic. I can see nuance in these situations and don't cling to easy absolutes.

  • My point, from the beginning, is that US arms can be sold. They are not worthless, and giving them away means taxpayers funded jobs that give no benefit to the American people and line the pockets of for-profit business owners.

    weapons produced by Americans paid for by Americans.

    only now it’s not American soldiers who do the shooting.

    You're trying to argue that it's a win for the US because Americans aren't using it. If the US sold its equipment instead of giving it away, you would have a point that it is good for the American economy.

    My counterpoint, from the beginning, was that giving away equipment "just means a defense contractor got richer at the expense of American taxpayers."

    The taxpayer money that was spent on equipment we gave away could've been better spent on something that actually benefits the American people. It would still create jobs, but those jobs would be benefiting us instead of defense contractors and whoever we give our equipment too.

  • I guess we'll see if they choose Mastodon or one of the proprietary platforms.

    You must be woefully innocent if you think people aren't paid to switch and promote different platforms.

    I recommend looking into how Red Bull got big. They literally paid influential people on college campuses to shill their product to people who can't think for themselves.
